Garner or individual is entitled to
the same square edal l have made
at all times, particularly empha-
sizing it IN speech at Hutchin-
son last April. At that time you
did not know but that Wagstaff
would be nominated, and your
square dealers said you would Dol
him in a body if he was. Do you
now find fault with the honest,
square statement which you made
theni Now that Mr.. Stubs is
nominated you purpOSely diStort
the ideas to suit your purpose.

flamerS of public prejudice that
so wrought up certain people to
a frenzy that caused the blowing
up of a newspaper office at Pitts

Los Angeles Times suffered the
same way, causing an appalling
loss of life and the death of one
Of my bOyhOOd friends.
"T'he inflimer of public preju-
dice caused the death of PreS;den
Mckinley. The rabble rouSer is
not a safe man for any cOmmun-

SOnal political advantage by rea-
