SPRINGFIELD. MASS.

'The Free Pass Bribery System is book of
Nebraska production and consists of various
addresses, newspaper editorials and chapters
in vigorous denunciation of the free pass evil.
The author is George W. Berge, lawyer of
Lincoln, and editor of the Independent newspa-
per, who ran for governor of the state in 1904 on
the fusion ticket. Mr. Berge speaks strongly,
and his handling of the politicians who accept
these little bribes is scathiDg as it ought to be.
1t is his opinion that the people will never
cure through their legislative agencies an eff
fective control of the railroads as long as the
free pass control of politicians is tolerated"
