/ McVeagh ex-United states attorney
general.
Let US work together for the over
whemIng defeat of the machine, for
that is the only way TO make reform
! permanent. The man who votes the
| city party ticket nominated today is
the true Republican, Mayor Weaver
| of Philadelphia.
| The real question is that Of decency
| i'm the life Of the home and honesty in
| public life. 1t makes little difference
| i'm the long run whether 81 Democrat
| or Republican Is president, but II makes
every difference to have public officials
honest and clean.-Theodoro Roosevelt.
! say 1t is an honor to party, not a
I disgrace, to get rid of its rascals. The
| shame would be in federation, not in
| correction. The more the Democratic
party can show that 1t does not hesitate
| to hit CORFU ption and to hit II hard,
whether in the ranks Of the Republican
party or in it's own ranks. the more
! deserving 1t is of public confldenot and
spirit. A boodler belongs to no party:
/ say the boodler Is not a Democrat;
he Is not Republicans; he is a criminal
and should be treated as such by all
political parties.-Joseph w. Folk.
Many men would be willing, If nee
essary, to give up their lives for their
city or state. They are needed some
| times, and this kind of patriotism can
not be too highly commended But
the man who lives for his city and
state every day is the man the country
needs now. True patriotism does not
abide alone in the roar of the cannon,
| amid the din and clash of arms, but i'm
the every day duties of civil life as we'll.
| There may be as u1ch patriotism in
| giving ones time to the betterment of
civic conditions and the election of good
men to Office and in purifying the
| ballot, as in barring ones breasts to
the bullets of the public enemy-Joseph
w. Folk.
There never was a time when the
need of patriotic men in public affairs
was greater than now. We need more
men actuated alone by the public good,
and fewer of those who are in politics
for revenue only.-Joseph w. Folk.
Any man who puts party interests
above the welfare OF his city or state
is traitor to his city or state.-Joseph
W. Folk.
No party has rieht to ask for sup
port because it is that party. If it cam
not get votes on the ground of patriot
IL iTIu iI HtS TtSll W ASK IOF votes Oh
the ground of partisan ship. Partisan-
ship is a good thing sometimes. but
patriotism is better thing all the
| time.-Joseph w. Folk.
The intelligent and patr tic citizen
will no longer allow himself to be
played as a pawn in party politics to en-
rich the CRATER. Party politics should
have no piece in a conflict with those
who assail the life principles of our gov
ernment Before all things else the hon
est voter-Republican or Democrat
must hold priceless this vital principles;
the public official must faithfully rep
resent the citisen-Robert M. LaFol-
lette.
Political partisanship is the enemy of
good municipal government.-Joh Ohm
/ Weaver.
Municipal reform is impossible so
long as the servants of the people are
restricted to the members of one party.
The municipality is. or should be. CIV
ic brotherhood, community of social
interests, wherein each should contrib
ute OF his best to the common veal
and where the best should be at the
command of the whole.-John Weaver
And politics have as much to do with
the mending of shoes as with the ar
rest of criminals or the extinction of
fires. The points of difference between
Republica nism and Democracy have
very much to do with mans fitness
to be president or a congressman,
but they have also nothing in the
world to with his fitness to be q !
policeman or fireman.-Bonaparte
] hardly need to warn the club
AGAINST the danger of it's becoming al
association which
shall defeat its own object by it's ex-
c'usiyeness and lack of practical sense. !
The assistance of men of honesty and
character. who we've Associated more
or less with the machine when it seemed
al-powerful, but reallv rejoice now at
what seems it's downfall. ought not to
