Why Insult the Socialists?
Since Moses Clapp's speech in
Chicago recently no one will deny
that he is the logical candidate of the
socialists for the presidency. There
is absolutely no question as to his
eligibility for the nomination.
Brainerd Tribune.

on the tariff, but there are mighty few
things we know less about. We are

A Hot One for Nose.
Those who remember how Nose
Clapp performed during the 1894-6
campaigns are not surprised at his
1911 Clapp-trap. No one has fed
