this Office. The Independent further
knows that not one of these officials
dares to acknowledge receipt of COM
munication from this Office, because
everyone Of these candidates is mort
gagged to and gagged by the railroads
of this state. The Independent knows
what this means. 1t has seen strong
men, or what seemed to be strong men,
cowed down and crushed under the
heels OF public service corporations. It
could not, therefore, reasonably hope
to see miserable crowd Of ordinary
corporation stool pigeons, exhibit any
courage at all.
But notwithstanding all this modest
admission on the part OF The Inde-
pendent, it was to be presumed that
Inese candidates In sort of back al
ley" manner would see to 1t that their
own official organs would somewhat
pledge them upon this issue, since the
public is SO anxious to know about 1t.
1t was reasonable to think that these
candidates would have had heart to
heart talk with their official spokes-
men, their state committee, and let the
pu olc have some information upon
this question.
