Sir.-'Po he fair in politics is hardly
to be expected. but you emphatically
denounce candidate as though he
alone is the embodiment OF all evil.
How about the others to whom you
are thus throwing votes? Mr.. Glass
brands Mr.. Swanson as a traitor to

being n director in a national bank
whilst on the Committee of .,ational
Banks and currency. and during his
services there the national hanks are
accorded many more privileges? 1t
seems In common parlance being much
like the pot calling the kettle black.
And how about Mr.. Jones using stolen

apparently without fear. and nov real

AS the Indianapolis News says. this
rather gives the lie to the plea that
the high tariff is necessary for the
