Ting for the weak and oppressed
Texas Republic.
The great majority of the battles in
which the colonel has participated
have been sham battles. He's great
on dress parade and comes strong be-
fore the grandstand. The people" re-
ferred to by the Republic is the col
onel himself, and the sacred right"
mentioned is his everlasting banker
ing after office. When the colonel
really scraps it's safe proposition
that it's either to get office or hold
one he already has.
