We, /, Myself,
THE one Republican Governor"
Hon. f. b. WILLIS.
"The one Republican Senator
Hon. w. c. HARDING.
1.-TWO Republican Angels to put up the
Coin
Coz. WIN. COOPER PRoCTER.
(From the South.)
Hon. MYRoN r. HERRlCK.
(From the North.)
SO you can see it was made up of one
Governor, one u. s. Senator and two
rich men. who, no doubt would volun-
teer to pay all expenses in exchange for
the honor.
Herrick Prefers the Senate.
This was pretty nicely arranged but
Hcrrick preferred to 90 to the United
States Senate for his coin, so he dropped
out. This left an opening in the Angel
ranks, but the good young Governor saw
other things coming. One of them was
an up-to-date darkey, named Tyler, who
aspired to represent the "culled race" on
the ticket. But the Governor would not
have it, because Tyler is "nigger"
And how could he expect soldier like
VIM. Cooper Proctor to associate with
a coon, much less pay the freight?
But the bright young Governor had
his own ear to the ground, and he heard
the tramp Of that grand old leader from
Oyster Bay marching towards the Presi-
dental nomination. so he hustlcs out and
grabs John ]. Sullivan, Of Cleveland. ex-
leader of the Bull Moose Party in Ohio,
to fill the vacancy on the ticket This
will give our young Governor a chance
TO get into the back door Of the Roosc-
welt camp whenever he thinks it's neces-
Sary, which, no doubt, will be a few Of
hours after he hits Chicago.
Why Not Doublc-Cross Burton.
Burton is about the only issue in the
S.a.s tbga.s tlhs- Gpverner bas rot double-,
crossed, so why not give il to him at
Chicago?
The Ticket of Today.
At present the ticket stands as fol-
lows:
One Bright Young Governor
Hon. FRANCIS b. WILLIS.
One Republican Senator
Hon. w. G.. HARDING.
One Bull Moose Leader
Hon. ]. ], SULLIVAN.
One Republican Angel
Hon. VIM. COOPER Proctor
All framed by the handiwork Of our
bright young Governor. But the rank
and file began to kick and numerous
statesmen threatened to run, but for one
reason or another the Governor forced
them out, until Matt Chaser, Of Cincin-
natl started in the race. Matt had been
an old-tlme pal of the Governors, and
had the exact size OF his "Fraudulency."
Some Things Matt Knew.
Matt knew how he had double
the miners by promising to support the
Green Law before election, but after
wards the first thing he used his office
for was to repeal the Green Law by
forcing the Legislature to pass the Gal
laghcr Bill.
Matt knew that before election he had
promised organized labor To conserve
the Workmen's Compensation, but after
election he tried TO get the Legislature
to allow insurance sharks to write bust
ness in competition with the workmcn'S
compensation. And when the LegiSla-
ture refused to do it, he appointed an
Insurance Commissioner, who carried it
out in ruling" But Hon. +, p,
Turner stopped it, otherwise Willis
would have wiped the Compensation
Law out
Matt knew hundreds OF other crosses,
double-crosscs, and cases where this
bright young Governor played everybody
TO be a sucker but himself
Chaser was soon joined by DIR. s. O.
Giffin. OF Columbus, who had received
fair sample OF the "Gov's" promises,
Tyler Is "a Niger, But He's All
Right
Ralph w Tyler knows that Willis re-
fused to put him on the ticket simply
because he was "a niger" so he is go
ing to run anyway.
While on this subject it can be truth
fully said that the only thing against
Tyler is that his skin is black But his
Republcanism is unqucstioned and his
ability is equal to any OF the Big -Four
selected by our bright young Governor
Willis Knows He's In Danger.
Willis knowing his own weakness, and
fearing that if all those to whom he has
handed the double-cross ever get to.
gether that they would accomplish his
defeat without much trouble, he rushed
)ut on the stump, and for the past sixty
Ways he has been begging his own party
