Lest it be forgotten what before the six years of

Democratic administrations, let review briefly
TO go back put the grafers back in the state treasury
where public funds used for private end where interest

and dishonesty prevailed until Judson Harmon cleaned out

To 90 back we suppose the days when the rich tax
dodger escaped, and the poor paid the taxes.
To back to the time when liability companies sucked
the life blood of industrial and robbed the bleeding,
crippled workman, the widowed destitute wife, and the or

To back the days of "honor and Differences" to
George B. Cox quoting Mr.. Harding's words
To go back to the days when the most corrupt lobby in
the world infested the state house. and when they had fast
ened their entaces that it took five to eradicate them
utterly.
To back unbroen record of inefciency and graft
