That's what I am.

I'm gittin -ready fori the cam
paign of 1900. I've just re
turned from town where. I got
three drinks of red licker aud a
new catechism. I seeathe boss
today and he told me a lot of
things. Let me try my mouth
on one : "Dadgum the trusts,
they are relentless. va

democratic party is
party that can and
them. Anybody that
sez we
aint agin the trusts id
a liar and
I can lick the everlasting stuff
ing out of him." That sounds
all right. Such talk as that
will fetch lots of them into the
party.
Wish I had some m,
ore licker.
The republicans are tyrants.
I herad the boss say so. Then
9f
I read it in the paper
They make the

boss come
over these verv words
I'm agin McKinley
I'm agin Mark Hanner.
I'm agin tjie government
cause its a shooting of the
hell-if-I-nos whoeven they
Fil-
are.
That's what the boss sez.
"The
Fii-hplL-if-I-nos, 'are
right ought to be free
and of
and inde
pendent.'" I think that's the
'way he come over it. But there
is no dickins if I know what all
that. rigmarole means,
But dad gum the

Whoop-pee- for free silver
and 16 to 1 in spite or h 1 and

No. I forgot ; the boss said
not to hollow so dad gum much
about free silver, but
"Down with the trusts-
to yell,
Hurrah for Bryan and anti

s about
the way the boss said
to say it.
I've got no use foil

and expansion.- I don't want

All I want is strai ght licker

cause I've always been a demo

I'm following it to-iay.
Don't know where it's
going;
Don't care, cause i
can t go
wrong.
A TIN BOOSTER
CBAT.
We elected Grover president
twice. That is a mistake now,
but it was all right then .
You see Grover left the party
and haint never come back.
But Billy Bryan isourhoney
suckler to-day. He believes in
evervthincr being free: Free
' t o
trade, free silver, free licker and
free Fil-hell-if-I-knpws. Don't
that sound tip top?
The republicans have made
times better and that's What
m
makes us so blasted mad. You
see we've got to yell calamity
louder than ever to make any
show.
But the boss told me to spread
ray self, and I am going to do
her. Listen : Dadgum the
trusts, they'll soon own this
country. They are robbers of
the people. They are the sons
and daughters of the Diugley
tariff. I say give us free trade
and smash the trusts. That's
the way the boss come over it.
That's a clincher.
We are out for the offices
some of us are. We all want to
beat the republicans. So we've
got to howl.
Howl at the trusts.
Howl at the war.
Howl at the gold standard.
Howl at McKinley and Hanna
Howl for office.
