The intelligent voters OF this sena- .
toria district know that Senatorihu
Keyes betrayed them in connection "a
with these important reform measures -
and voted for the railroad fare and ~
commission bills only after he had ex-~iil
hausted every means In his power to hos
defeat them. Then he played the su
coward and ran to cover thereby ac- ~
/. knowledging that he had been betray-1 :,
ing his constituents and voting against
their demands and their interests. ~
Conscious OF his betrayal OF a sacred Z "
trust, he did not have the courage to ~
stand by his guns. but voted for the a .
bills after they had been passed In -
spite OF his persistent opposition.
Senator Reyes Furthermore voted
against even considering the anti-lob- a
by bill . .

candidate for governor dare publicly ~.
defend Senator keyes record In the IN
legislature and ! have no doubt as tn llsc
what the voters OF this district will snE
