One of my greatest reasons for con

probation or the public is the racx that
every politician that has always trav
eled with the corporation class Is favor
ing river Improvement; all the railway
politicians, from the western senators
to Jim Hill, favor river Improvement
To me It is clearly evident that the In
tention in politics is to divert the peo
ple from appropriate regulation of our
railways to that of river competition,
and this will permit the railway lines
to go on with their high-handed robbery

Should we give up our effort to regu

complete regulation, irrespective of any
other force whatever.

the day is not distant when, in nominat

we will not permit a political party to be
named, neither in initiating our nominees

Step will do more to prevent the cor
