if they don't use the power that
they have and vote fer good men.
No, if you will simmer the thing
down to the copper you will find
that it is usually the fellow that has
an Office or who expect S a fat
political job that calls from the an
guish of his liver, "vote the ticket
straight. ;"
It's kind of humorous to. see those
hired agents drive round the coun-
try trying to get us farmers and
kentry boys to sign up fer their Re-
publican club. My, what a patri-
otic devotion to their kentry!
What beautiful broadminded senti-
ments ($) must it not be that spurns
'em out to work again a grand, no.

If the people can be taxed to in
sure reasonable profit to the
manufacturers, it isn't such an aw-
full fallacy that the banks be taxed
a wee mite to insure the depositors
from loss. Is it?

Scared political agent who himself
never looses a chance to work for

is more of a temperance than Gov.

II see that coon a hidin'. hidin'

politics funny.
It seems to yer old Uncle ST that
man as will go around and tell
everybody to "vote the party ticket
straight in this goth century is
about as pin-headed an ecxuse fer
an intelligent man as you will find
outside of the bug house. Why

we've got the politicians strick-
ly on the hump. l have already
heard a few political speeches and
as fer as I can make out it's a game
of tryin' to convince the voters
which of the two old parties comes
the nearest to bein' populists or
prohibitionists. That county op-
tion squibble between the Demo-
cratic governor, the Republican
legislature and the republican can
didate for governor is absolutely
humorous. Boys, we've got 'em on
the hump, and next year you'll see
a county option bill passed. It
don't make any difference who is
elected governor. They both have
said they would sign the bill.
Hurrah, divided responsibility and
independent voting has done it!
When you hear the strongest kind
of liquor men stand around and ar
que for jacobson because he is one
hundredth of an inch more flat
footed for county option than John
son is it is enough to make your
funny bone dance a jig.

Knowing these things a heap better
