The Congressional election will soon

shall be said that the country has
gone back to the Donkey dominion
HI bent. To turn this trick the whole
compoodlo will have to be whipped
Harding, Hughes, Hoochy Coochy and
Hoover. Will Street and all that
bunch of hot feet; the old guard, the
new guard-and put the whole bust
ness in the discard.
Frankly, the Republican party aud
all that is a part thereof have been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting; in the ledger book of justice
and right they have no page; in the
memoranda of wrong they carry many
full pages. For fact, their sins
have found them out.
After the battle Of 1924, after the
smoke is gone, here is what will be
noticed emblazoned across the sky of
the political heavens: "Republicanism
is dead" Down near the horizon, as
upon a great grave stone, it will say;
"D---ed and delivered" Thus the
complete epitaph will read: dead,
died and delivered"
Verify, the way of the transgressor
is hard, and Republicanism must
travel back up Salt River, even unto
the foundation head thereof. That is
what the wild waves are saying; that
is what the mystic signs are crying
on the silent start. Astrologers will
