For governor-A. W. Smith, who
styles himself a farmer, who is
author of the famous Mcpherson
farmers alliance resolutions, who is
universally recognized as the cham
pion demagogue of the state. His
nomination was secured by the COM
bined influence Of the state house
ring and the railroads, whose candi-

You remember that speech made before the
state board OF agriculture by It's president year
or two ago, when he quoted that old ribald
cOuplet:
Jesus my all to heaven has gone,
Here's my fodder, but where's my corn?

to be true. The central committed will strengthen
the ticket by keeping him out Of the campaign
Congressman-at-lsrge-Geo. T. An
thony. Well, where shall we begin
in his case? The charges preferred

ported by unquestionsble testimony,
convict him of embezzlement, of fraud,
