The Breckenridge news., 1906-07-11
r1r. johnson and Mr.. Dodson.

The News Is in receipt of the follow
ing letter from our friend, Mr.. GeoIgt
W. Dodson, OF Frymirs, In regard tC
mis- position concerning the Hon. Ben
johnson.
ITO the Editor of the Breckenridge
News, and voters of this Congressional
District: 1 wish to say word or two
about the candidate the Democrats
are running fol- Conrgess. Brother
Babbage says thst 1 ought to vote for
him. Now it matters not with me
how Mr.. Johnson stands on temper
anoe. He says that it was MIR. John
son. belief that by not taxing the rec
titiers that it would bring more
money to the State. Well suppose it
would, it IS plain to any one with
one eye to see that he stands on the
side of the whiskey trusts. He took
his stand in the Senate last winter, be
was on rhe side of the trusts and
monayed class and against the poorer
class. Let the rectifeIs leave the State
with their douole- distilled damina-
tion, The laborers have it all to pay
any how. Now, how did Mr.. John
son stand on the list of lcensef Did
he oppose themS Did he oppose any of
the appropriation billsS ANY voter
who will read over the whole list and
then belly up to the poles and vote the
old TICKET, ought to be chained to rich
men like j. d. Rockefeller, CaIneige
and the like, and then have to lick
the filth from their feet all the rest
of thelI days. Now, kind voters. you
are asked to vote for man who will
come around and tell you that he is
YOUR friend when lie is not. One writ
ter says that the saloon men are MI.
johnson best friends. Well, ii that
is so be is your enemy because the
Good Book says that you can not serve
God and MammOn. You must hate one
and love the other. Now, which, my
local optionist, Will you supports The
saloon element. or Will you come out
like men, remember you are voting
to send man to Washington to make
national laws which will be superior
10 your State laws, and he will not
loose sight of his friends. Do you not
see where it will run to. Now, he
will tell you this tall that he has and
will work TOR your interest. Let us
look back when the last Legislature al
journed there was a call for an extra
session which costs the ax-payers
SIS, 900. And this same Mr.. johnson
was one of tho main ones that caused
it, but that was alright as It put some
more money IN his pockets and 1t does
not matter, you poor no account tax
payers, for that is waat you are made
for to work and slave to add more to
the pockets OF the aristocrats. Mr..
Johnson was a Hopper when the rectl-
tiers bill came up at the extra session.
He saw that it was going to pass any
how and he voted tor 1t and taat was
alright. he will go on the stump and
point to his vote for the tax bill auu
hoodwink you into voting for MIN.
The whlskey interest will vote for MIN
and therefore he will be elected But
if you will vote like men, get from
under the party lash, be independent
and vote for wife and children, when
you come to that conclusion then Mr..
Johnson can stay at home Now kind
voters, nave detained you longer
than l ought TO, but when l look at
the past aud hear men say that they
Will vote fol- yellow dog because he is
on my ticket You will tear their hair
and hollow until you are hoarse the
very men you are doing 1t tor, II you
OF your child were to go their fine
mansions, hungry, and ask bite to
eat you would be kicked off of the
premises by hired servant and yet
you can not give up your party. Oh,
no, stick to 1t until you blead to
death.
In conclusion let me say that | am
a Democrat of the Jeffersonian type,
