The Democrats and Peoples Party
"Working" the Obese Boss.
TACOMA, Sent. 21-tSpecial. don Quixote
Bennett knows how to use his fists. He tried
to knock out Attorney Albert E. Joab because
he gave him the lie. The boss said Mr. Doc
little had made pledges in support of the Lake
Washington canal; that he did it in order to get
nominated for congress-
Attorney Joab said the boss lied.
Later Jim Corbett at New Orleans made q
"monkey" out of John Sullivan. In some in
stances prize ring parlance is necessary in order
to secure appreciation. Therefore it may now
pertnently be said that the Democrats of Pierce
county especially, and Of the state in general,
are making monkey out of Bennett
Just now this is what the Democrats are do
ing. They are arranging to vote a PACK of
Democrats in Nelson Beunett's precinct These
Democrats, of course, must be of the more OBJ
scure kind, and they, all of them, will vote
against Bennett, who will be defeated He
will be put out again. He won't 20 to the
county convention. This will make him angry.
He will blame the Republicans for turning
him" and that is just what these Democrats
want.
Now. this is merely an illustration of how
these willy Democrats are 'working" Bennett.
They are taking advantage Of his eccentricities.
They trap him. He plays into their hands.
They pat him on the back. He il good fellow!
He is so clever!
Every man has been boy. About every bow
has gone to school and knows how he used to
"sic'' the bully onto any boy that would stand
up before him. So 1t is in Pierce county The
Republicans have the hardihood to stand I'D for
their right against Bennett Democrats of the
cute variety think it great sport to sic" the ex-
section boss on.
