Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 150, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 June 1912 — The Helpless Victim. [ARTICLE]

The Helpless Victim.

The postman goes his daily round like to a slave in shackles bound; he has to tag ft. heaping sack that crooks his neck and bends his back, and in that sack: are urgent notes from can dilates -who want our votes. Insurgents and conservatives—each >ne his weighty reason gives why we should vote for Mike or Bill. O, what a lot of ink they spill to make us know and understand the way to save our native land! Waste baskets yawn for all such stuff, and still are never big enough to hold the heap that comes each day —. But see the postman trudge hie way with all this lot for us to scan, and he’s a civil service man!
