Conceived in mystery it IS now known detinit
directing genius behind the league.
Yes, it's the same Ed Sims who was the stand
pat whip and floor leader for the reactonary forces
in the house last session.
And it's Ed Sims who raised the false alarm cry
that il will cost tremendous lot of money to pass
the Seven Sisters" and that it's mighty expensive
experiment to legisate directly by the votes OF the
people First the Stop-Look-Liseners said it would
cost 100000, then $50OO0O, then million, and now
they're shouting it will cost two millions.
WILL 1T COST THE STATE A SINGLE PENNY
MORE, Mr.. SIMS, TO PASS THOSE MEASURES

The jury will be asked 20 decide these
questions: Can a merchant lose $1,000
