it would have failtd. If reports t.re
true, he (Harvey) got quite limber about

been betrayed by his own counlrjmen

failed, who would mention Ins name

isn't treachery to his party's principles,
what isii?Bnt his party Rnows that
he is oni v ''lalkina through his hat," to
iool demuiiMis. If he means what he
eajs, why d es be support the party
that always have and always will sup
Doit protection? Again Scott says,
sueeringly, "that. Bryan wasnot elected
United States senator," just as though
he did not know that Bryan never was a
candidate for that exalted, no, I mean
debased position. 1 don't believe there
is a man in the United States senate
that has not used some corrupt means to
get there, either money or promises of
some sort. We can't elect a president
by direct vote ol the people unless he
first promises every office that he con
trols to someone for his support, besides
millions of dollars as corruption funds,
and what are you going to do about it,
say the republican party and press?
Well, I will tell you, we are going to
turn to socialism and remove all incen
tive to rob, bribe ai.d steal, and then
the public officers will be the public's
servants and could gain nothing by dis
honesty and dithoit-Bt methods. We
common people are learning something.
