Senator Hansbrough went to NortB
Dakota for reelection, and the people
said:
I'VE WANT A CHANGE!"
Senator Kittredge heard it In South

Senator Long asked the people OF
Kansas for reelection, and the people
shouted:

Senator Hopkins went to Illinois and

the Republicans of Illinois announced:
I'VE WANT A CHANGE!"
Almost one-half Of the Republicans
of Iowa, even when asked by their dis
tinguished Senator Allison, replied:
I'VE WANT A CHANGE!"
The voice Of the people is unmis
taxable. Wherever they have had
chance to speak, they have earnestly
lifted their voice. saying:
I'VE WANT A CHANGE!"
That sentiment is sweeping thu
