easy berths for relatives OF those in

The matter is reaching such a stage
that IL ls causing great Indignation

about the spoils belonging to the vic.

rule Is now that the spoils OF Office be-

When any of the officials are criti-

less disregard Of the rights OF the
workers on the question OF patronage.
they invariably say: Governor Or
man has his whole family in Office Z:
WHY We Ah' BifNifSF VI put-
