we had TO meet every corrupt force
in Kansas City, including the Kansas
City Star. that IS now supporting Mr..
Hadley, we won out in the end, and
the city owns its waterworks by rea-
son of the fight we made. We paid
So ZOO, 900 for them. We have re-
dueed water rates ~ per cent, i'm
proved the service, given every year
free water to the city that formerly
cost Sioo, 900 annually, and now have
plant worth 100000. Is not that
something TO have accomplished? But

Tended was discharged. That contest
was not between political parties, but
between Democracy and an intolerant
society known as the A. p. A., that
had captured the Republican party in
Kansas City.

the Republican party and, by virtue
Of a political machine, drove every
man from public life who dared to OPP
pose their dictation, and Herbert
Hadley himself, in servile obedience
TO their demands, compelled one OF
his own assistants to resign the posi-
ton which he held because he in
sisted upon his right as a Republican
TO submit himself 10 the voters OF
that party as a candidate for public
Office.

through the volume OF fiction evolved
from the reeesses of his own magma
ton, which he calls his record. ] re-
member, however, a few years ago a
suit was brought by Attorney-Gen-
eral 4. c. Crow against certain in
surance companies, and as a result
OF that suit the Supreme Court found
these companies guilty OF the offense
of deliberately forming a trust TO

issued against them.

again do business in this criminal
way, that the writ OF custer At once
should issue.
Under this decision $4,000 was
paid into the treasury Of the State.
