POLITICALLY DRY

Self respecting Americans now have
further opportunities to view the fur
ther activities Of the officeholding
~hypocrites that infcst the congress,
and the line stretches from one end of
the house corridor to the other end Of
the senate Offices, a line composed OF
that grand army Of political towards
who are personally wet but politically
dry.
We can feel respect for the politl-
elan whether he be for or against
prohibition if he be honest in his con
y%iction, even though we may have no
respect whatever for his opinion or
for the things he stands for, but the
Doltroon who puts the birthright Of
his manhood on the auction block and
sells his common decency for a mess
# political pottage should be booted
cut of public life.
America never has and never will
gain anything from the service of the
dypocritC and trimmer whether III
the legislative, the judicial or the
executive department Of our govern
ment. Truly, the type OF which we
love to think, the type of men who
stood at Valley Forge, has changed
when we keep hypocrites i'll Office and
depend upon such men to protect anc
jhapc the destiny Of the nation.
1t is common knowledge that oul
congress is infested with this hybrid
mob Of truckers for "pOular en-
dOrsrmcnt." Dozens if not hundreds
# them daily violate the law, taking
heir ''nipsH like the most experienced
Of booze fighters. They raise the
glass with one hand and with the
| other write phillipics against "those
! who would undermine the constitu-
| ton"
One need only think Of the shipping

helm to realize how far hypocrisy can

The house and the senate even yet
need just this same kind of house

cry that might justify the recall.
This is not q denunciation of tho
