One Of the devices recently adopt
ed by the machine workers in this To-
cality and used in their effort to Sc
cure q machine delegation from this
county to the state convention is the
statement that they have the promise
Of the organization 10 give G. K.
Swanson the nomination for a state
office, provided he can deliver this
county to the organization. It is APP
parent that it Is upon this plea alone
that the machine has any hopes Of
carrying this county. From the nature
Of the case, this argument is made for
use upon insurgents alone. The ma
chine asks that the voter abandon all
principles Of reform and throw this
county into the hands Of the machine
and thus perpetuate the very evil
which the voter approached has been
contending against for two years OF
more. II Is 8 direct appeal 70 the
voier ID cast aside all principles. r.
