Too much has Congressman Grosvenor, in his many
years of federal Distribution been shifting in his recomenda-

haros as against his judgement and the best interests
of the people, The foundation of criticisms Of Mr. Gros

that 'hold him up and force their mandates ugon him,
rather than advice him from the standpoint of the best in

men recognize in him character to reward the right
rather than further bow and crouch under the lash of rotten
party organizations that would cut his throat in minute
they got a chance.
This be the dawn of day in this country for
fright to assert herself against gratis and graers is
indeed time that merit and manness should stalk with the
