Fighting Privilege No Easy
Job, Said Late Tom Johnson

feat me: They selected Hon. Theo-
dore Burton, now senator, then mem
Der of congress from the Cleveland
district. Mr.. Burton was serving his
seventh term In congress and had
been twice returned without opposi
tfon.,
Never perhaps was there a cam.
paign anywhere In which the com
munity az whole took such an In
terest and In which such intense per
sonal feeling was manifested. Privi
lege was lighting with its back to the
wall now and stopped at nothing in
the way of abuse or persecution not
OF me only, but OF the men associated
with me.
Everywhere the campaign was the
town talk. In banks and factories, In
Offices and stores, on the cars, In the
homes, in the schools. Women talked
OF Il to their domestics, to the clerks
In the stores, to their dressmakers
and their milliners Even little chill
dren In the public schools engaged In
the controversy. While the issues
were being thus fought out among
the people In personal ways, public
meetings were being held nightly, at
tended by vast throngs.
"Mr. Burton very early exhibited 9
surprising ignorance Of local affairs
None OF MS had suspected that he
was really so little informed on the
question at issue. The electorate OF
Cleveland had had lot Of education
on many civic questions and on the
street railway problem I'm particular
They commenced to ask Burton ques
lions which he could not answer
They heckled him so mercilessly that
we were In daily dread OF the reac
ton which would probably result from
this"

Public subscriptions were opened
for low fare stock, making IL more
attractive than savings bank deposits

the privilege OF surrendering his stock
