He always cutched in his emacyated fin bag
iv sunhower seeds an copy iv Bills last appeal
fr humanity
An now, what dye think: they're thryin' TO
hurl Bill out iv tn gov'nor's chair-these con
spirators, these wretches who don't like tn people
plain but prefer thin skinned an done to turn
An what do they accuse him iv doin'? Nawthin
at all They say that he pinched tn campaign
funds an played thin against tn foolish wheel in
Wall sthreet as if that wasn't tn customary
thing to do with other peoples money in New
York
"Ol Bill refuses to dignity these charges with
denial, but he has employed ennnt lawyers
who wud not hesitate to dignity amy charge be
denyin' it. Th' truth is that tn rale accusation
against Bill is not that afther passin' the plate he
hurried down with tn receipts an flung it on
tn red There's sometlin' worse behind it. 1t
seems that Bill was ilicted govnor y tn state
be binivolint old feer in private life who saves
til people iv New York firm tn worries iv polly
ticks be pickin' out good la-ads fr all til jobs.
This mild OF dishpot sarves without salary an
his motto is: I care not who makes tn laws iv
me country, SO long as | make TIL chunes they
dance to- Last fall he discovered Bill weepin
IN front iv camera.
"' Why SO gushy?' asked the CHEEKY old fcer
sob,' says Bill, FIR tn plain people, for tn
millions iv me fellow citizens who can't look into
tn glass without cry iv horror says he. Thin
ye're me man. says til philanthropist. What L
want FIR govnor is fellow that's blinded be
tears or amy other way. Ye seem to be single
minded or ayen less Come with me- he says
An he made him govnor An they do say that
afther he got into the job Bill wint back on his
bnfacther won't repeat tn dark rumors that
ar-re goin' ar-round, an mind ye, don't give me
ye'er authority, but it's whispered Bill refused
to do something f'r kindly OF Char-rles Murphy
An that's tn reason in New York But Pm with
Bill, anyhow I'll niver go back on man who
has to blow his nose ivry time he thinks iv tn
troubles iv thers. But isn't it tur-rble thought
Hinnissy, that whiniver there's amy marked
money goin' around some frind iv til people is
sure to be landed with it? Indade it seems to be
til on'y kind tn thrue pathrte iyer gets hold v
in these times.
AS FIR tn other gr-reat sorrow that is tearin
tn heart iv New York, l find it hard to speak
iv it without emotion. 1t is tn worst hnancyal
blow that New York has suffered since Black
Friday. Young Nutley Scads, tn brillyant young
assassin, an accordin' to a number iv ayenists
tn finest mind obsarved be thin in thirty years
Nutey Scads, upon whom thousands iv lawyers,
DOCTORS an statesmen depinded fr support, has
followed tn example iv me frind Gene Foss an
other CAPITALISTS an moved his enormous plant
over to Canada. | can't make out why he done
it. No man cudve received betther threatment
thin this arrystocratic young paranoiac His
pitcher was printed in TIL pa-apers Cary day.
He was interviewed on all important subjects.
His proclamations received with respct.
Preachers visited him an afther receivin' CON
thrib1tion FIR buldin' new church wint away
with his blessing. Whiniver he was dspleascd
with TIL conversation iv tn superintindint iv TIL
