Anti these same politicians are a shrewd bunch, too. They have named for office, several candidates, in whom the people have the most pro found confidence. Tney have done this in order to win oack as many us possible of republicans wh at heart, are opposed to asseinblyism. By no do ing. they hope to keep the assembly and its pur |x>sc in rhe background as much as possible. But let aasemblyism win at the polls and the men, who are the prime movers and managers thereof, will soon make themselves known and assume th« mastery of a situation which their schemes hav« created. The N ews is not an alarmist; but being quit« familiar with the craftiness of these old-time pro fes ional politicians, it feels suspicious of ant novements or professions they may make. The. never do anything without there is a purpose l»e- hind it, and that purpose is, usually, selfish. Un fortunately for the people, some strong men hav» permitted themselves to be drawn into the aasemb ly movement m *re pawns to be played as an as gist to the ultimate design. When such republicans as Judges McGinn nrr Ixtwe'l condemn the assembly in unmeasured term- there is reason for the people to take warning am to prepare to meet the issue in an uncompromising attitude. 117/ } OFFICIAL H cirulation seppu e 7 Receive I direct from A.
