EMPIRE STATES DISGRACE.


3 The people Of New York state
are becoming thoroughly aroused
over the fact that their common
wealth, the greatest commercially
and In population In the Union, Is
being represented In the United
States Senate by men utterly dis
credited, and even disgraced.
The feeling is becoming SO intense
that 1t would not be at all sur.
prising If the state legislature, which
convenes early next month, would
take some drastic action In the
matter. The legislature can not com
pei the men to resign but refo.
luton asking for their resignation
would undoubtedly go long way
toward securing the desired end.

and we are proud OF It,. Did the
people send Plat to the Senate?
Did they, send Depew? Have they
sent any one to the Senate In

ling? Not a bit of It; and he, at
hest, WAS only shallow intellectual
impostor whose memory Is negligible.
Do the people care six-pence
who 1t is that represents this great
state in the Senate? If they really
did care, would the effrontery and
the moral insensibility Of Plat suf.

Would the intellectual anesthesa
of Depew be complete enough to
sustain him? The public that can
contemplate unmoved the preten-
sions of a man OF Woodruffs char.

Plat and be unconscious OF It's
