I feel shoor tibet Princeton College kin
be made a. CRATE feedin ground NV the
Dimicratic party if we kin hev M .
Cleveland conduct the exercises, and hev
the rite kind Nv %stoodents tn start with.
1t wood give us a crate send off if. we kin
turn loose a few hundred young men hoe
kin preech SIGH politicks ez we need, and
i%nnokulate the community with moo idees
II this arrangement kin be successfully
carried out a college eddicashun kin be
twisted in our favur, instid Nv bein yoosed
agin us ez it IL at the present time. Witt
a great institooshun like Princeton grind
in out the rite kind of gradooates, every
year, we'll schooled in gamblin and boss
racin, mixin drinks and other Moo Gersey
Accomplishments, I shood feel tibet We
Good git the staff safely back tn her ole
Dimicratic anchorage in the course Nv 6
few yeers. If Mr.. Cleveland kin git
chance tn lectur, that will help us sum
but we need tn have a moo manijmen,
throoout the whole institooshun and 6
compleet change Nv idees and methods
before we kin hev much confidence in it
There hez bin tn mulch attenshun pad
tn looks and not enuff to practikle politi1
Nv the rite kind. If we kin hev SIGH in
structors ez Dick Croker on finance, ant
Billy Thompson O boss racin, and Davit
B. Hill on politikal reform, vile Mr.
Cleveland unlimbers hizself on constitoo
shunal law, we kin yit maik Old Prince
ton stand fer sumthin moar than mer'
eddicashun and football. Wen it xii
reech the lofty posishun Nv bein an in
coobatur fer Dimicratic STATESMEN we XII
thro up our hats and give three cheer!
and a tiger fer the whole outfit.
