10 Pythian Castle and made a speech be-
fore the IroquOIs CluD. Henry Z. Highton
had preceded him in a lengthy speech on
the issues of the campaign, in which he
urged the braves to direct their warfare
this time against corporate power.
Mr.. Pepper let intricate questions of DO
litical economy alone and simply made an
appeal to the club for its assistance in be-
half Of pure primary. He said the Iro-
ouois Club had helped him to all the high
places he had held. and he counted CD It's
help in securing purity in politics. The
gist Of q metaphor which Mr.. Pepper at
tempted was that the primary was the
corruption which polluted subsequent pol
itics. He asked the club to assist the can
vassng committees and TO divide its men,
bers into committees to attend the primary
and take part In the proceedings He said
this was a novel thing TO ask the
IroQuOis braves 10 do, but that it was
case which demanded innovations. Pepper
then lauded the present municipal gov
eTnment and demanded that the State gov
eminent be made less expensive. City and
County Attorney CresWeil, A. J. Clunie,
James A. Filcher and others spoke briefly
and the club adjourned without settling
any OF the burning questions of the hour.
