And the offender Offers Himself Again
for the SunraEes OF the People-Letter
on the Littauer.KclIOgG Fight for
Congress In the Twenty-ffth District.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland has some
thing to say concerning Littauerism, which
Is cousin-german to Odellisn1. Joseph A.
Kellogg Of Glens Falls is the candidate for
Congress in the Twenty fifth district against
Representative Lucius n. Littauer OF rats
and tunts" fame. Mr.. Kellogg is max
ing a vigorous fght against Littauer In
the district. which is made up OF Fulton
and Hamilton, Saratoga and Warren coun-
ties, and Representative Littauer has be-
come so alarmed over the situation in his
district that he has prevailed upon Speaker
Joseph q. Cannon to make a speech for
him at Glovcrsville on Oct 81.
Mr. Kellogg, Representative Littauer's
opponent, Is also securing the help OF speak
ers outside of the district, and among these
volunteers is Joseph d. Baucus, son OF
former State Senator Baucus. Mr.. Baucus
Is an old acquaintance of ex-President
Cleveland, and Mr.. Cleveland has sent the
following letter TO Mr.. Bauous as a message
of encouragement and sympathy to the
residents OF Mr.. Kellogg Congress district.
PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. Is, 1904.
Joseph d. Baucus, 40 Wall Street, New York.
DEAR SIR am pleased to learn that
your cousin, Mr.. Kellogg, is making strong
and determined fight for clean politics
in the Twenty-ffth New York Congress
district
Il sincerely trust that the good people of
that district will realize the seriousness
OF the issue and express at the polls their
stern condemnation of Represe NATIVE
who, when faced with a public charge
rejecting upon his honesty and his fitness
t. longer represent the district in Cong ress,
takes refuge in the fact that prosecution
for the offence, If any was committed,
has been barred by the statute of limita-
tons.
1.-The statute Ct limita tons never runs
against political dishonesty or the betrayal
of public trust when the offender, to secure
vindication, offers him self for the suffrages
of the people.
you may extend to your cousin, Mr..
Kellogg, for Inc, my hearty approval and
best wishes in the splendid and gallant
fight he is making, against heavy odds, in
behalf of honest government and purity
in public life. GROVER CLEVELAND.
Representative Littauer has not been
punished for his rats and gaunts' glove
contracts with the Government, which were
made in violation of the law. The statute
of limitations interviewed to save him.
Representative Littauer is the prime min
lister of Chairman Odell, who, as
q stakeholder in Matthews & Co., rivals
in his knowledge of groceries Mr.. Lttauer's
knowledge of rats and gaunts. The Repub-
lican machine of the State Is controlled
by Odell Littauer, William c. Warren, who
knows all about Warrcnism in Buffalo;
William l.. Ward, who knows all about
Wardism In Westchester; Senator Edgar T.
Bracket, who knows all about Brackett-
ism and Canfeldism in Saratoga. and 80
on down through the list, not forgetting
the canal graft contracts, the charity in
stitution contracts, the lunacy institution
contracts, sugar contracts, tea contracts,
and all sorts of contracts, all for the benefit,
not of the Republican party Of the State,
but of the grating ring which is in control
of its machinery.
