street. On the cover ia sketch of Father
Knickerbocker on raft out in the harbor.
The book has l2s pages and is illustrated
with cartoons and caricatures. Gov. Odell
and Mayor Low are assailed jointly. There
is chapter devoted to r. Fulton Cutting,

Of the last Congress proves that it is vital
to Cuttings company to secure the re-
election of President Roosevelt and Re-
publican Congress next year. The Pc
cuniary interests Of the American Beet
Sugar Company require the election OF
Mayor in New York who will pave the way
for Republican success next year in the

and its operations were notorious during
the last session. This lobby went TO the

with Cuba, and it was to the obstructive
tactics of the opposition that the neces-
sity for the extra session this fall can be
attributed"

vigorously led on the floor OF Congress by
