Who Are the Traitors?

And old Alton B. Parker had to
stick his drotted lip into it! The
Idea of such an up-start as that
calling William Jennings Bryan a
"traitor" and Benedict Ar
nold!' Why, even the dirt under
Bill Bryan's toe-nails contains
more real patriotism than cow
pen full of such corporation lick
spittles as old Parker.
If the blood-thirsty war-jingoes
want to make Bryan the greatest
popular hero in this country, just
let them keep On with their

stuff. In past years The Fool
Killer has criticized Bryan more
or less, but now when it comes to
q choice between him and the
blood-craving war gang, this
paper is going to stick to the
Great Commoner. And there are
many millions of common people
b. this country who will think
more Of Bryan because of this
dirty attack on him.
If a man has to be called {
traitor for following his homes
convictions and doing his leve
best to keep his country out Of {
needless war that the Self-cOnSti
tuted "patriots for plunder'' ar
trying to push it into, then I say
God give us more ike hiu.! Hun
rah for Bryan!

If some uncivilized rufin elm

and shoot him the government
yanks you up and sends you to

way little and it pulls it's gun
and commits the same crime that
it Furnishes you for. Don't you
suppose God has a big electric
