There are no secrets i'm this Cam.

breaches Mr.. Bryan would not win vic
tory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
Not a dollar Is to be accepted which
tequires any promise, either express
or implied, other than for HONEST,
IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entangling
alliances, free to serve all classes of
honest citizens alike, or he win not en-
led at all
Hence the course Is plain The cam
9aign of Bryan and Kern must be con.
lucted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses II they want pub
lie servants who will serve their inter
asts.
Special interests and favored classes
having secured SWOLLEN FOR
TUNES by purchasing favors IN the
,ast with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand
ready 10 give MILLIONS MORE FOR
CONTINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless il
buys a pledge.
Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th.
1909, LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
This can come only If the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS BEAR.

That policy OF the favored few buy
ng a mortgage on the Government
meant that the Candidate for President
knew a few pepole only In an entire
state.
Bryan says, I'VE viii take the cause

Why did candidate Taft select ms

this question other than the conclu

Taft certai!ly knew that Wall street

OF his campaign fund would come from

The administration being absent to
the annual reunion OF the veterans of
''The Men Who Were,' little change
can be expected in the policy of gov
ernment until the mayor returns and
gets squared for view Of present con
ditions.
But the people of Guthrie who own
property and pay taxes want streets
kept clean and they are willing that
such service he paid for, as in all other
matters Rpt the old disease circula-
tor and dust and filth scatterer of a
monstrosity that was purchased and
called a street sweeper should never
be allowed TO again perform the tunc-
ton OF disease distribution. 1t can
follow a sprinkler and perform SER
vice to the people. II 1t cannot, send
II with the mayor and other useless
encumbrances of Guthrie on an ex-
tended vacation.
Luxuries are to be expected and
Guthrie deserves more or less punish
ment for not paying closer attention
TO the selection of officials, but that
does not signify we are to be held up
and shook down without getting at
least a breath of fresh air for the trib-
ute we pay to our own foolish idea of
voting a partisan ticket for the offices
Of the municipality.
We are chugged here and they are
trying TO chug us there, but we object
10 the filth and refuse that accumu-
lates in the day thrown into us of
nights, even though staggering under
the burden OF an administration so
worthless as TO give one leartfailure.

meaning any day can gather an Idea
by reading histories Of ST. Louis, Min
