Editor of The Virginian:
Sir-Knowing your interest in temperance

come to light in the recent Michigan campaign
for woman suffrage.

that all the enemies of woman suffrage were in

There is not the slightest doubt In the mind
Of any honest man that there has been gross
abuse of the cien service system for partisan
purposes. nor is there any doubt but that the
Democrats have been the victims of this abuse

very conclusiyey show that the system has
been utilized for many years as a device for
keeping Democrats out Of the government ser
