ent Federal administration, it is be-
yond human reason to understand
how sane thinking citizens can have
the temerity to call themselves Re-
publicans unless they are participants
in the graft that is doled out under
its numerous DISCUSSES.
A presidential campaign is at hand
and the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party have absolutely no choice
as to who their standard bearer shall
be. The money trust are perfectly
satisfied with their present tool, the
gentleman of rotund embonpoint, con-
noisseur of possum, terrapin. and
canvasbacks. He of the smiling coun-

of the subserviency of the present
national administration, can support

The party that holds the best inter-

leader in the presidential chair, the
claws of the Guggenheims and all
their ilk will be cut and the people
once more enter into their own.

A million years and a day;
