ences of this corrupt coterie of I'M

Dor to place faithful sentinels on
guard to check bad legislation and
promote what is good"

Elliott on Black List.
"The following senators and repre- |
'entatives were bitterly opposed to |
Ill labor measures and frequently took |
he floor in the interests of the corpor-
atoms. Many of our bills were held
Up by G. A. Elliott, of South Bend, |
chairman of the railroad committee of |
he house and by the able assistance |

men of this state.
In the senate Messrs Stevenson,
Springer, Parks, of Plymouth, Kittin-

o strike out the enacting clause or

which would virtually have meant

he laboring men of this state that it
would be good judgment on their part
o indefinitely postpone the political
areers of these men should they ever
gain attempt to come up for Office"
