Z 1.-THE claim that you need to send
Z republican to Washington in Or
der to get anything for the state is
I. the greatest criticism Of that great
deliberative party and the greatest
: criticism of the republican party
Z that could be made. How Long
would the republican party last II
: it legislated by favor? If 1t were
doing so, every good citizen should
3 rise in might and put that party
out of power.
! "But that isn't the case. In that
great body of men there are true
citizens who wouldn't PROSTATE

do not pay out the money from the
United States treasury because
some republican wants a favor
done"
