and Indiana. Another sample OF re-
publican craftsmanship which makes
the patriot feel like chopping down
the so-called republican structure.
There is the Philippine problem con-
fronting the mouthpieces Of the admin
istration. Here comes Senator Cullom
of Illinois denouncing the small is
lands. That distinguished member OF
the United States senate declares that
he wished those islands were under
the sea-out of sight, where they be-
long.

ple-selfish advocates of class legis-
lation. No better illustration need be
given than the one found in the re-
publican fight in the short session Of
congress.
AS we stated at the beginning, no
one will wonder why the republican
press is fighting government owner
ship of railroads. A political party
that has no higher motive in view than
hold out the political pail for spoils
can be depended upon every time to
misrepresent the people.

REPUBLICAN PARTY RECORD
The Decent Members of the Party Are
All Ashamed of 1t

Republican editors are not causing
eny surprise by oppo.icg government
ownership Of railroads. When the
thinning man comes to the conclusion
that the so-called republican party is
today the living exponent o. monopoly,
imperialism and capitai.suc anarchy,
he will not wonder why the republi-
can press of the country is fighting
this vital measure. We find the So
called republican party overstocked
with grafters, boodlers and pie hunt
ers-men who stand ready to rob the
government and defy law and order.
Look at the land frauds in Oregon.
Good republican ward heelers impli-
Gated in the scandal-another set of
protectionists, gold standard idols and
expansionists found guilty of accept
ing brides.
Look at the political situation in
Colorado. Another indication of an
archy practiced by republican so-called
statesmen. A stain on the name OF
Colorado.
Consider the mormon question. 1t
took one day to remove a democratic
mormon from congress. Here is a
republican apostle of the mormon
church sitting in the national senate
showing his respect for the drones in
the republican party and the republi-
can party allowing the adherent of
polymagy to sit in the august body
keeping the mormons in line for the
expressed purpose of winning political
victories in the west.
And we hear the great political
manipulation, Tom Platt of New York,
pirate against negro riots in the south.
Here is a partisan of the old scbccl!
Condemns race war in the south but
utters not a word on condemnation
Of lynching and race troubles in Ohio
