over how kopgress he'd treated
the silver bill, and how the great
state of Kanzas he'd taken Jemes ingalls,
out of the U. s. senate an put him to
gardener. an what the Alliance legisla-
tiers told the Wichita people to do about
CAROLS police bill, where l took
notion all ov a STUDENT to go
out behind the house an see how
many times could brake the End COM
mandment in two hours without her
helpin' me.
Then she called me back agin, an sed
she thought wur oncapubl ov doin the
subiec jestice; besides it wur her opinion
thet wur appropriatin Language what
wur not intendid to be used by people ov
our standin. However tibet may be their
air sum things bein' dun here ov late
thet are calculated ter make preachers
say sumthin besides prayers.
Dast If il don't look like the fellers
what air tryin' ter run things fur the
last year or two air maxim a awful lot
of mistakes. Now in my opinion there
air three kinds Of mistakes Thar is the
excusable kind, we all make. Then the
inexcusable, whur we ought to noed bet
ter, an probaly did. OF this kind l will
give an example further on. Then thar
is the premeditated an aforethought
kind thet we air not sorry fur after it air
made, of which putin Jemes Ingalls, TO
raisin' cabbage air sample. The dispur-
sition ov ther silver bill air another. The
opinion ov some folks tibet plenty ov
money wood be a financial disaster for
this country, the west, an Sally an me
in peticular, air the Kussedest ov all yet,
ther McKinly Bill not excepted.
Now | don't mind bein' called
fool or little names ov any kind
by big kOngressmen an senators, but
when they tel US to shet our eyes an be-

No, sur! if this air Their kind OF polatix
we air expected to PROFOUND to the
voters ov this skule district ontil after

hands out an we'll look up game whar

Sum people hev been writin TO us

Kauzus an take it ter Shecargo, an Kon-
tracshun hev dun his part too well. I
think Their Idea originated with a evil
