u 1egREssee, as in other States, the

This condition is not confined to the

effect in States which are Republican.
Nor is the political machine operated by
Democrats alone. Machine politics is
the outgrowth Of fraud and bribery, of
the abuse Of delegated power, the de-

Tie Republican machine is not less
dicfatorial. no less crushing of all oppo-

Democrats to the dictates of men Of lit
