stroy corrupt poliucal machines. MOST
Oh the eViis that afilct pennsylvania
nave come from the lawlessness or
corporations and the rapaclty OF the
corrupt poiiucai machine OF Which
they are and nave been silent part
ners. The people demand that gang
rule Shall end, and that corporations
snail divorce themselves from politics
and coniine their activities within
their charter limits. Because of the in
innate relationship between quasi
public corporations and the Republican
machine the moneys OF shareholders
nave been diverted to the Golfers OF
the gang TO brlbe legislatures and de-
bauch the electorate in return for per
nicious corporation legislation. In
every battle that the people have
waged to regain control of the state
they have found the great carrying
companies and the public utilities cor
porations openly allied with the gang,
aiding and abettng them with purse,
power and passes. The railroads OF
the state nave hinoered the enact
ment and enforcement OF those sec
uohs OF the seventeenth Article OF
the constitution whlch are most bene-
hclai TO the people. Today their gang
allies with pretended contrition, are
promising the enactment Of those safe
guards against corporation aggression
~hlch they have so long denied.
NO talnt OF lnsincerlty can be read
into the Democratic and Lincoln
farty platforms. since 1873 the Demo
Gratis nave demanded what their plat
form now promises. Were the Demo.
