Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 November 1902 — One Very Pleasing Result. [ARTICLE]

One Very Pleasing Result.

One of the most pleasing individual results of the election is the complete laying out of Windy Billy Mason, of Ohioago, at present the discredited and disowned Republican senator, from Illinois. He is another of those treacherous and ungrateful snipes who, having been honored and favored by their party far beyond their deserts, turn against and try to defeat it as soon as they can no longer have everything they want, and have everything run in their interest. Mason, finding that the Republicans of the state had no further use for him, has been making a tremenduous effort to defeat the oounty and legislative Republican, candidates in Ohioago; his hope being, if the effort suoeeded, to get such a claim on the Democrats that they would help boost him back into the Senate. His efforts there evidently had the contrary effect from what he expected they would, as such treachery usually does, and every Republican he was fighting was elected; and the Democrats are now cussing him as hard as the Republicans, and he has no friends any where. Which is the natural and proper result of treachery and ingratitude wherever you find them.
