The time has come to let the people rule;

To let the Office seek the proper man."

While we are calmly gobbling up the town,
Taking no chances with election day.
The office seek the man? Well, yes, it may
Appear to seek, but you bet your crown
The Office won't pick out Good Mister Brown
If Herrn says the is Mister Gray.
The people rule? Why surel Every tnel
Fling out the flag and cheer the grand old bird
OF liberty, but when you're finished I'm
Going to put you wise with just word;
The people" means the bosses and the boys;
We the people; we're the great big noise.

We have noticed that these fellows
who vote against the submission of the
prohibition amendment will begin TO
argue the merit of prohibition as soon
as they are approached on tue subject
of voting for the amendment. his
shows that their position Is untenabIe

reveal their real reason for voting
against submission. The fellow who
says that he knows better than the

IT is intensely ridiculous how some

bition. Last summer when both par

suffrage they declared for and faith

tricts, has carried out the pledge and
passed the resolution but from appear
ances it seems that the pledge is to
be repudiated by the senate and the
resolution defeated.
AS far as the legislature is concern
ed it is not a question of prohibition I
only question of fulfilling pledge
to the people and granting the voters
Of the state what they demand, the
fight to vote on the question.
We cannot see what right memb ers
Of the legislature have to say TO the
people that they are incapable of de-
gliding any matter in the way they
wish. No man has right TO say 10
the people that they are not capable of
cumming the government of the state.
When they DO SO by their acts they

nTo the Press and Public:
"Moved by many recent publica-

warning against all such unauthorized

1t were coupled with good faith, frank

say anything" In the recent exanain-
alton by Government Attorney KEEL
logg, the most reqasnt single answer
Of Mr.. Rockefeller, under oath, was:
II don't recall" Mr.. Archbold merely
varied the verb; he said: 81 don't

"protest and W srning against all I'M
