us announced it yesterday In q circular
,sbioh calls on the Peepul to support their
chamnion and take a fall out Of the Money
NIL For seven months not a word OF
hons has come 70 the Peepul from the Brook
Iyp nat riot. Some folks may have imagined
G,i Rob Anti-pass was crushed n re-
,r,ced to permanent silence when Dock
Coumissioner Bensel slapped him on tho
wrst last February for slanging B~rooklyn'a
Rrd OF freedom and Ave cent fares, but IL
was not 80. Mr.. Baker was meditating on
bs and the Peepul's wrongs and drawing
nm a new declaration Of Independence.
His new platform Incorporates the sublime
principles of Yoga, to which the great Anti
nass became a CONVEX more than q year
400. Persons who Join Mr.. Baker's nov
marty must become even a. himself n his
teacher. Swami -Vivekanananda, and study
The books Hathapradipika, Paprika and
other Hot Stuff. Among the planks Of the
Dlatiom which Robert A~nti-pass I'M
drancd Yesterday are concentration Of soul,
Religious observance, veraoity, avoidance
oftheft. chastity, co~ntentment, muttering Of
yedic hymns and devoted reliance on ON.
One Of the salient principles Of Yoga Mr..
Baker failed TO incorporate in his platform
is regulation of the breath.
Mere Office or party pelf will not be the
rewards of Mr.. Bakers followers. Faith
mi adherence to the principles he sets forth
will lead them eventually to insensibility
"a heat or cold, pleasure or pain. They will
have a knowledge OF the past and future.
They will understand the speech Of ami
mails, even their thoughts. They will know
all that is going on in other worlds.
Mr.. Bakers circular announced yester-
dav that pure souls all over the country
are calling on him to grid up his loins and
make the race for Congress "a al independ-
ent candidate in the Sixth district. APP
parently the pure souled OF Brooklyn are
not tearing their shirts over Mr.. Bakers
candidacy, since the appeal, which was
issued yesterday, is signed by only two
BROOKLYN men, including Sheriff Mike
Flaherty, luckless governor OF the Kings
County Bastile. A little thing like lack Of
support at home doesn't worry the great
Yogi, since Chicago Is calling for him, Boe-
ton i~nsistently demanding that he run,
Cincinnati joining in the patriotic chorus,
Minneapolis chipping in and ever far
sas City KAN b~eseeching him to hurl
his glove full in the face Of the sneering
Money Devil.
Carping ones who we're so foolish as 10
grin at Mr.. Bakers patriotic pronuncia-
mento Yesterday asked why the names OF
Senator Patrick Henry McCarren, Comp
troller Metz or even Five Cent Bird do not
appear at the end OF the appeal, but Mr..
p.larta fallo~ XOUia nFOldlW Anawarad that
he was above sue alliances-although,
said they, il the Democratic party in Brook
lyn would purify itself and subscribe to Mr..
Bakers principles he miRht-only might,
Acknowledgement to run as the regular
Democratic candidate.
Tim Woodruff might see a light, they
thought, and ask Mr.. Baker to be The Re
publican candidate. In hat event he
would consider whether the Republican
party was worthy Of him. Anyway, he
as he certainly would, he was going to
give the House a bigger cleaning than
Bob La Toilette intended to give the Senate.
Among the great names which Mr.. Baker
Tom johnson Of Cleveland, Mayor Dempsey
Of Cincinnati, Mayor Dunno Of Chicago,
Mayor Rose OF Kansas City, Kan; William
Lloyd Garrison Of Boston, George Fred
Williams Of the same town Henry George,

the appeal which thrilled all Brooklyn
yesterday, certainly needs cleaning. 1t
must be freed from b predatory forces
which now direct it," The .tribunes all
over the country have looked far and wide
seeking a Hercules for the job. These
are the inspiring words OF the appeal:
Yes! Twenty men could clean up the
Housed Perhaps a less number could do 1t.
But where are the honest, fearless fighting
men to perform this tremendous service
N the coitntrvS Tha Efftw-nfnth C0n0foaS
had none such. None OF its members dis
played marked courage. Democrats as
well as Republicans yielded almost without
a murmuT to the will Of their Czar-the
honest men, THERE was but oAe-Robert
Baker-in the Fifty-eighth Congress Of
whom it could be truly said that he was a
fearless fighter. To bis courage IL to be
attributed the large advance already made,
both in public understanding and in legis-
q the insidiously c~orrupting railroad pass
from our politics,
Only the weakness Of Judge Parker,
says the appeal, and the active hostility
Of ~monopolistic interests beat Baker last
year. The hero was dragged down by
the candidate for President and the claw
ing Of the Money Devil. The enemies OF
the Peepul will try to do up Bob again, the
circular points out, but it won't 60 through.
Whyl Because the Peepul are awakened
heis. The Peepul are waking up and call
ing Tor Baker.
IL takes hard cash, though, to sting the
Money Devil and the circular makes a
iervent appeal for campaiKp grease. At
least s., 500 is needed. Hurry up and send
tn. Bob needs the money
Some Of Mr.. Bakers h1ends thought
yesterday that he would dicker for the
support Of Hearst, but the Hearstites in
The Sixth district said they weren't par
ucularly interested in Mr.. Bakers candi-
Sacy and, anyway, what did he want to
butt in for7 There was hardly enough
TO- go around as it was. Mr.. Bakers friends
Indignantly denied thai he was begging
for ~anybody's support.
Hes for the Peepul,' said they, -and
the Peepul are for him"
