MEN AND MEDIUMS.

For political and civic destruction
and salvation, at any time, and any
where, men are bat mediums, agen-
cies, the means to the end; and must
Be regarded. and used, as such for
the good or hurt Of the rest OF US. II
is up to us always to know the me.
diums we are using, and their efficacy
for good or evil and knowing it, our
duty is plain and simple.
Astoria's attitude today, in both the
civic and political lines. is one Of de-
manding salvation from the curse OF
exploitation at the hands of a set OF
men who have already committed her
to the point of financial ruin and who,
themselves, are still committed TO
continuing the program upon a scale
greater than ever before. The propo-
sition is clear; there is no ambiguity
about it, no question, no dispute save
from those who are pressing their
claims for chance to reyel deeper
in the wasteful and reckless slough
they have "tramped OUT in the past
dozen years.
The Republican ticket is, today, tn;
medium of salvation and sensel.
The Citizens ticket is, today, th'
medium of spoilation and iossl.

ty to vote for the good OF Astoria
