years ago refuced to so to Wiscon-
Sin, although personal friend was a
candidate against him, and gave my
reason for it when l told him I was
not willing to oppose LaF'ollette when
there were so many other Republic
ans that needed opposing worse. This
year LaFollette tried to defeat the
nomination o. Mr.. Davidson. but Sen
ator Spooner and the stalwarts won a
victory and Governor Cumnins wcs
willing to so there and assist the can
satisfied with speaking for Candidate
Davidson. Governor Cumnins praisel
Senator Spccrer. If il praising Ser
atcr Spo5nar, GeTerEcr cuMmtns was
serious, then GoTer0cT CuMnins is
not a rcfolMcT, for Senator Spconci
does not stand for enc single reform,
and never has. aud Governor Cum
Minis is too we'll Informed on national
politics moi to know that. If. knowing
Senator Spooner to be LaFollette's
political enemy. he praised Senator
Spooner in the interests of harmony.
he ought to know that harmony is the
club with which reform has always
been attacked, and the man who be-
gins a reform is always charged with
disturbing the harmony of his party,
and the man who puts harmony above
principle is not likely to accomplish
much in the way of remedial legisla-
ton. If Governor Cummins wants
Democrats to vote for him as re-
former he should fight for reform
and not for harmony"
Another High Glass cummins Man.
The -epublioan party is scared as
it never was before. 1t is worse
frightened than it was when good old
Uncle Horace Boies was elected. The
party's like drowning man graspin !.
at a straw. Anything. good Lord, TO
save the life of the party
The Cummins men were defiant and
ruthless when they nominated Cum
Minis. They said Bolt and be
darned. What do we care. We can
elect him anyhow" But change has
come over the spirit of their dreams
the Democrats by raising such dus,
that lot of them will be fooled ard
deceived into voting for albert the
/ Pretender."
They consort with men who are SO
"onery" that their own wives could
not live with them. They use men to
calunniate the Democratic leaders
who are not worthy to be believed in
court OF justice.
They have employed man by the
name OF Walter d. Olney. who is cir
culating literature regarding Bryan S
meeting in Iowa, when he spoke at
Sanborn week or two ago. He has
sent out letters asking the real Bryan
Democrats to stick by Cummins be-
cause he represents the reforms that
Bryan is for. But ii he does. isn't it
| funny that Bryan doesn't know it
without being informed by Walter
Olney, a wife-beater and a deadbeat
He has secured the assistance of one
j. Clark Meredith to help put Bryan
wise" OF course. Bryan's paper. the
| Commoner, has been doing all it could
for Porter, but the writer's for that
paper were all fooled and 1t took j.
Clark, who parts his name In the
middle, to set them right.
You see, these fellows who part
their names in the middle always arc
wise guys. He pleads with Bryan not
to be mislcd into supporting Porter
But it is queer that Bryan knows SO
| we'll that Cummns is not 4 I-aEollette
Toilette has the backbone and Cum
Minis has not.
Walter ID. Olney. the wife-beatci'
sends out this literature by the bushe
in which Bryan is informed by his
| friend, j. Clark Meredith, whoever lie
is, that j. Il. Romans was left off the
committee. And his successor il
Jack Dalton, who is stronger Bryan
man tfan Romans, because he has
always been a Democrat. Which
shows that Walter d. Olney know:
more about obscene pictures an,
about beating rent bills than he doc.
about politics in the Tenth Iowa d.;
trCt
This Walter ID. Olncy. who is sue!
a pare Democrat that he votes 10!
Cumnns. was also so good and puii;
that nc hired n horse to take his VIZ
ont blggy riding before they wcr.
r.arricd, and he drove the horse Ia
death and never paid the owner for il
He also pretended the horse belongc
to him. and his wife believed hiE
and thought he was ws1l-to-do. Tic
| Culnmins Republicans are welcome t.
Walter
lie is sending out letters askins
real Democrats" to join him in I;
Bryan League OF the real thing. Demo
Gratis not controlled by the railroads
4 He PROBABLY prefers a company con
trollcd by The divorce courts. Walter
had better keep our of politics. rs
will ha.e enol,.l to do if he keeps Out
nj the clutches oil the law
Walter ID. Olnls,, dispenser of le@t
| pictures, says to lis followers. VIII,
not be independent? That is CYL
IDENTITY what he thought when the
court gave his wife a divorce froE
him for cruel and inhunan treatment
This is 4 small matter. of course, bn
man who has been kicked out o.
decent society and whose wife ha:
been given divorce because OF in
human treatment. is hardly the MAJ;
to teach Democracy to the Democrats
