| a lot OF fellows praying" Tor MN
and the result was he had the largest
gathering in Valley City that was had
really believed that he was sincere in
his efforts instead of just merely be-
in any part of This state. The people
ing a candidate for governor, that he
had the facts-and he had-and gave
them to the people. But he was not
sincere. He only had selfish pur-
pose to land in the governors chair
and failing in that he has soured at
the world in general and himself in
particular. Time was when the men,
ton that LANCER would speak in VAL
ley City the weather could not stop
the crowds that would come eager to
hear the truth, but now things have
changed and Bill has to "pray" for
himself. You cannot doublecross the
people all the time without them get
ting wise to it and they are now wise
to the fact that all Langer's alleged
sincerity to tell the people was only
to crafty an itch for the governors
chair. No honest to goodness voter
will take him seriously because they
know he is liable to switch over again
to some other side if the bait is
strong enough to get him and little
hint that he might get some political
power will turn the trick with him.
Poor Bill, from the lofty heights Of
popular approval when the people
really believed he was trying to help
them get rid Of graft and inefficiency
in public affairs he has now fallen to
the lowest depths of contempt and
ridicule. And what lovely spectacle
to behold as one looks at his audience
which are indeed small. There we
see a bunch of leaguers who two
years ago would get blue in the face
calling him all the vile names they
could think of, now fawning and
cringing the knee at his feet, while
he holds out his hand for them to
kiss. If there ever lived political
Judas it is LANCER and after this
election he will be so dead politically
that he will never be heard from
again to any degree.
