sentially the party of the plain peonle-the
party Of those who are benefited by CO.
operation for the protection and maintenance
OF their political rights. And while it re-
spects and protects the rights of all, it is at

for the wage Garner, for the small taxpayer. for
the larger mass Of our citizenship, the rights
and privileges to which under the law they
are legitimately entitled, and which hereto

the few.
