The people of Marion county were
a long time loosening the grip of the
corrupt Democratic ring in this coun'
ty, and the county's business and its
affairs generally have prohted so much
greater during the Republican regime
that the large majority of voters DO
not want a change.

New headline type is brought to him
BY printers strong and rough,
He measures it-siX inches wide
He cries: "Not BIG enough"
They read him scathlng articles,
He calls them "quiet things"
And, with his trusty megaphone,
He to his writer's sings:
"lt's noise. noise, noise,
That wins elections, boys.
A headline Lie
Eight inches high
All smaller Truths destroys.
Let others fight with arguments
And antiQuated toys;
The thing for Hearst.
Is just burst

Noise,

Around him mighty presses groan,
With the life Of office huns,
A. Brisbane thinks up sentences
BY pounding kattle.drums.

cries,
His hat aloft he filings, ~
Then Through his trusty megaphone
AS usual)-he sings;

That wins elections, boys.
