Shots From the Commoner.

"One contribution to the g. o. p. campaign fund counteracts two federal injunctions against a trust.” “Popidar election of senators will make the senate a representative body instead of a political board of trust directors.”

“The man who talks about ‘granting self-government’ when the subjects are ‘fit for it is the same man who never would go into the water until he learned to swim.” “The coal trust has so much coal on hand thaUit is compelled to put the miners on half time, and such a small stock on hand that it is forced to elevate the price 10 cents a ton every day or two. The coal trust evidently is not worrying about the ‘shackling of cunning’ just at. present.”
