The Simple Truth.

An honest ana perfect publicity would embarTass the managing politi- clans to that extent they would be forced to revolutionize all present methods of campaigning. Expenses have grown enormously of late years, and the money to meet them cannot be collected in small sums from those whose chief interest in the game springs from conviction and party pride. And those who subscribed 1ltb- orally do not care for one reason or another to have their names published with the chances of receiving a roast ing" from ocean to ocean. This is the simple truth. as everybody knows.
