In The Wrong Pew.

1t is the privilege of any man
to run for public Office, if he wants
to. It's no ones business but his
own. In proclaiming his candida
cy, he can stand on any platform
he selects, be it Democratic, Re-
publican, Populist, Socialist, or
Woman Suffrage. But consisten-
CIV, if not common honesty, re-
quires that he stands squarely on
the platform of the party, which
he claims fealty to. In other
words, if he runs on his own mer-
its, without claiming fealty to any
party, that's his own business; and
deserves some consideration, be-
cause every body knows where he
stands, but the candidate who
runs as Democrat, and proceeds
during his candidacy to cast ASIDE
his party platform, and stand on
q Rep-Pop platform solely to
catch votes, is a fraud, and seeks
TO obtain Office under false pre-.
fences.
