only two classes-tne corporate inter-

You know it.
Every intelligent man who talks to

needs is the utterance of a few plain
truths.
Lacey and Perkins and Young are
not the party in Iowa any more than
Cullo mand Cannon and Mckinley are
the party in Illinois. They fought their
fight in their own day and generation.
Republicans Of 1912 have their own
troubles without inheriting old quar-

since these men bossed it around.
