Furthermore, am in favor OF the
recall for judges and for all other
public officials who may deserve to
be recalled.
No honest public servant has any
thing to fear from the recall; and
as for dishonest public servants,
could never see anything more
sacred about bad Judge than
about a bad governor or mayor or
alderman.
II anything, a bad tudge-on ac-

more detestable and a little more

PEOPLE TIRED OF OLD PARTIES.
12-My absolutely sincere opinion
Is that the citizens generally are
tired of and disgusted with the old
parties. Their platforms and poll
cies are nothing but evasions and
insincerities. The Democratic plat
form indorses woman's suffrage,
and yet there has never been a time
that the party could not have given
women the suffrage IL IL had really
wanted to do. Woman's suffrage all
along has been held UP by Demo
cratic States. Now, when woman's
suffrage is obviously sure Of sue
cess and no longer needs party in
dorsement of any kind, the Demo-
cratic party declares for II.
In regard to the liquor plank, to
use homely Anglo-Saxon, the Re-
publicans are liars and the Demo
Gratis towards. The Republicans
say they lost their plank, which is
plainly false. The Democrats do
not claim to have mislaid their
plank. They did not "lose" any.

seif-respect. They first voted over

and then overwhelmingly against a
dry plank. They either lacked the
intelligence to have an opinion or
the courage to express it
The two old parties are COM
posed merely OF office holders and
office hunters. They have no re-
gard for the public. no conception OF
public duty and obligation. no real
ization that the purpose and func-
ton of a party is not to crafty
the occupant of office but to satisfy
and serve the citizenship. There
