EprroR srSrrSnr: About the only
comment opon my letters 10 the sKSrr-
EEL on the s. P. agent coming from per-
o n not unfriendly to the agent Is that
che is able 10 take care Of himself" vi
he is I" able 10 take care OF him
self" He has been "taking care Of HIM
self " for about twenty years ss the ex-
pense Of the people Of this State BY
bleeding 4" candidates for Offices great
and small; by digging up money from
corporations and individuals interested in
legislation; by manipulating party con-
~ventions; by %corruptipg voters n mem
bers Of the Legislature. and by securing
his reelection to q fat county office
several times by basely trading of and
betrsying his party and candidates on
the same ticket with himself, and BY the
use Of the large fund collected by him as
indicated above. always to secure his
own election. "He is able TO take care
Of himself, I" aye, and he will continue to
"take care Of himself " In the future as
in the past unless the people arise and
and drive him out Of politics and out OF
the State. Even now, more than q year
In advance Of the next general election,
he is slipping around from town to town.
from county to county, leaving . Shiny
trail wherever he goes giving his instruc.
lions to his s25-men and his $250-men,
promising an office here and another
one there,-the devil took the Savior OF
mankind up into . high mountain and
made lavish promises, selecting condi'
dates for future Senators and Assembly
men, taking good care to pick out
only those who can be relied on by the
8. P. Company, no matter what they
may profess or what pledges they make
TO the people before election. He has
never hesitated to break pledges himself
nor to advise others to do il. When the
political campaign opens next year he
will attempt to "drag" all Of the money
be can out Of the candidates for Office, moi
neglecting sspirants for the United States
Senate and the Lower House OF Congress,
and he will "dig up all he can from
corporation, and individuals interested il
legislation. and place all he gets that h
does not sink where il will do the mos
good in defiance Of q stringent State Law
imposing heavy penalties upon partie'
engaged in such work. But what doe
he care for the law. He has been en-
gagged in breaking equally strignent cleo
tion laws for twenty years unmolested
He understands that it is the poor mai
who is punished for violsting laws agains
c~orrupting voters and members OF tn
legislature and not the lobby agents O
rich corporations. / have entire conf
dence that no candidate for the Unite
States Senate nor for the Lower Hous
Of Congress will violate the estate
Purity Of Elections Law by furnish
ing this man money for political pur
poses, whatever candidates for lesser oil
fees many do.
We now have in this State q larg
number Of young men who have grow
up in our midst who are or soon will b
voters. The elders are passing ava
ranidIv To thesa vnnno men the care
and responsibilities of Government wi
soon be intrusted exclusively. Like o
young men they are independent, ardent
impulsive and enthusiastic in every caus
they embrace. What say you my youn
friendss Will you manfully maintai
your independence politically and other
wise, bending the knee to no man. liekin
the boots OF no man to obtain Q petty ofhc
or place? Will you hold the electiv
franchise as the dearest right you posses
and above all price and the fair fam
homer and welfare Of your State IS in
separately connected with your ow
honor and welfare or will you sacri6c
all, that thrift may follow fawning.
Will you for the sake Of . little tempo
rary advantage become the humble sci
wants OF o humble servant Of Q COZ
poration with no body TO be kicke'
and no soul to be damned :"
GU Bono.
