construction by the shortest and best

Concerning the Corrupt Practices
act Mr.. Talbot declared that he in
tended to live up to it.
The only people in our district,
he said, who can gain anything by
corrupt methods are the REPUBLICANS,
because we are in the majority. They
are in the minority. We, however,
are going to live strictly up to the
law. and we are going to see that
they do, too
Mr. Talbot spoke at length upon
the tariff declaring he believed that
10 be the greatest issue in the fight
and that he expected to see the day
when the regulation of the tariff
would be a question entirely removed
from politics.
