 Boss Magee has made the grand mls- take of his life, and he will see it pretty soon. Not only will he fail in his scheme to get control of the state, but he Will have stirred up such an agitation agalnst bosses and bossism that the people Will wrest Allegheny county and the city of Pittsburg from him and his crowd of political high binders.
