OF peanut politicians The profession of
patriotic interest is too often merely horse
mount from Which men may leap into the sad
die of opportunity and gallcp down the path
way of perpetuated power to the exploitation
OF the public. Any organized combination
that continues in unquestioned and unmolest-
ed power is liable to become, by the influx
of shark eyed. keen resented, selk-seeking hypo
critics, all organized conspiracy against the pub
lie good and for private gain. Organization
concentrating the fire of certain principles and
policies is we'll. but organization too frequent
ly becomes machine for grinding up the
public will and grinding out majorities in favor
Of private interests William Lorimer is the
product of an organization policy that ran

Nor does anyone else Mr. Bryan has been
caricatured and cartooned from end Of the

picted as wearing collar around his neck nor
with the dollar mark stamped upon his back.
No suggestion of corruption has ever been
uttered in connection with his name, and no
suspicion Of unholy alliance dishonest prac-
tice has ever been whispered concerning HIM
