4 PINKLRss CHESrNrr.

The pink pop paper, which was sold
to the Republican committee for $50,
has become pinkiess. The color has
fed from it's kidneys. This probably
is due TO the'fact that the Pops will
have none of 1t. Not all the Pops are
gullible. Theyl are not supporting
papers which arc ready to sell out
every campaign. The pinkless Regis
ter represents no party; temporarily q
few Pop leaders are using it to ad-
vance their own interests, but they
have no confidence in the sheet. They
know IL Is liable to change its convic-
tions for money and as easily as It
does its color. The pinkless paper
has no policy, thought or stability. It
is a vacuous vacuum, misbegotten In
shame and nurtured in iniquity. It is
not even paper. II Is a catalogue Of
