.Mhipp;ersnappers.

There are more whippersnappers
fighting Tillman and the farmers
than were ever known to figure in
y previous campaign. The
whippersnappers are mostly to be
found in small towns, are really
of small consequence and yet they
make noise and do pretty much
as their employers wish. Many of
them are poor boys from the
country, who have changed their
style since they came to town.
Having put on a 'biled" shirt and
store clothes, they are disposed to
forget their old-fashioned fathers
and mothers. After attending a
hot supper or ice cream fete or two
they re I'D themselves as being
men of society and take as a per-
sonal reflection upon themselves
any criticism of their betters to
whom they play funky. Most OF
these whippersnappers have no
knowledge of public affairs and
merely echo the words and views
of designing politicians and office
seekers.
The whippersnapper is an in.

shows that a person can live IL
