Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1908 — WHO WILL BUY? [ARTICLE]

WHO WILL BUY?

P. J. Hanley, of Washington, la., has prepared and sent to The Commoner the following interesting. matter which he sugests that republican politicians might use as a hand bill: PUBLIC SALE. Our lease with Uncle Sam, having practically expired, and having decided to quit the business, and retire to private life, we, the undersigned, will offer at public sale at our residence at the Capitol in Washington, D. C., commencing on the second day of February, 1908, the following deer i bed property, to-wit: One elephant, about forty-five years old. One financial panic, old enough to be weaned. One republican platform, the same being somewhat rottenOne big stick. One republican machine, the same being somewhat out of repair. One financial system. Fifty million Teddy Bears, and other articles too numerous to mention. Terms of sale, cash. G. O. P. Owners. Rockefeller & Morgan, Clarks. Wall Street, Auctioner. While it is believed by many that most of the above named ar-

tides will be purchased as relics, by the stand-patters, still we have been informed on good authority that it is the earnest desire of the G. O. P. that the democratic party be present at the sale and thus show their interest and good will in the same, even though they don’t see anything which they care to purchase.—Bo. Dak. Exchange.
