Money Makes
the Mare Go


1t is one of our old proverbs, THAT
money makes the mare CO." and we
have heard this so long and so often
that we admit it as true without a
question. This is getting to be
question largely doubted, especially by |
the Socialists In Milwaukee the So
cialists spent $4, 600, and carried the
city which has 400, 900 inhabitants
The democrats admit they spent $780,
600. The new Socialist Mayor con-
tributes 50, 900 of his salary to the So
cialist educational fund. The reason
why is that he fears ignorance and
prefers to live in $1100 cottage and
help to make his people intelligent.
Victor Berger, the Moses of the So
cialist party, of Milwaukee, refused
an offer of $4,000 per annum, and
prefers to support his wife and three
children on salary of 81 $50 per an
mum and continue his Socialist cam
paign unhampered.
Money has made many mares go,
but am glad the time has coma when
it dom I make all of them go. Money
has caused many men to remain demo-
Gratis and republicans when they knew
| better.
Keep your eyes on Wisconsin. 1t
will put two Socialists in the United
States Congress and then there will be
two to stand on the floor and continue
to fight and oppose the steals as pro-
posed, and denounce those already con-
suma ted. In other words, three to
stand as the only friends of the people.
The people will begin to know some
| thing of the speeches their M. Q. does
not send out. You will then see more
Moons going to the Cannons and Can
mons fiocking to the Moons You will
also see all honest, earnest, intelligent
men, who produce an honest living
and are perfectly willing that others
be guaranteed this oppor- unity, flee
away from the Cannons and the Moons
and take shelter under the everlasting
truths as taught by Socialism.
Moons excuse, as given out by him
self, for voting for Cannon was that he
might stand a chance to get the bosses
to give something for some purpose in
his district. This is the kind of
craftsmanship furnished us by the cap
italistic system. If the "Hon." Moon
will Just look down from his perch on
old Tennessee, he can see that he has
already got something and before 1919
rolls around he will cry for help to
turn it loose. 1t will be too late. his
Cannon will all be shorn of their pow
or.
lam forced to admit that money
does make some mares go, but how
long is it going to keep them goingf
Well, that's a guess with me, but not
as long as it used to. Why, we OPP
pened up independent headquarters
here in August and put in charge of it
a soul saver, at so much per soul, and
YOU ought to know it takes money and
lots of it to get man to decide to let
souls go to hell while he helps capture
state for his party that has wrought
such wholesale steals and robberies as
it has.
Some are honestly deceived because
"pap'' was, but to man of intelli-
gence and who has even mastered the
primary branches in school, there is
absolutely no excuse for political ig-
norance.
Don't charge that have it in for
the republican party only. You see If
you will compare their platforms that
the democratic and republican par
ties stand for the same thing, but ma
tionally the democratic party has been
dead since Abraham Lincoln was cleo
ted and the republican party died
when Lincoln was assassinated. On
the ruins Of republication we have
