From "Air. Dooloy on political
OvoiUb:"
"Well, sir, like nil mo follow citl
55011H, f wish success to this now ad
min isthratlon an', also, small harm
to us fr'm it. I like this last wish
best. It's moro fr'm th' heart, an'
annyhow th' administhration is sure
to bo a success. How can it fail
whin it will bo run bo Dimmycrats?
'Tis so. What are th' most impor
tant functions lv governmlnt, I'll ask
ye. Aren't they th' conthrol iv th'
cash dhrawor a-' th' command iv th'
polls foorce? Well, they are. An'
both iv thi in magnificent jobs have
gono to old warhorses iv th' Diinoc-
racy. We've waited manny years f'r
this proud an' happy day. F'r fifty
years we've thried to get Dimmycrats
into ofilco. Wo thried it be illictin'
a Republican an' that was no good.
Wo thried it be illictin' a Dimmycrat
an' ho didn't help it. We thried it
bo passin' civil service examinations
on'y to find as soon as wo got th'
job we become Republicans. It was
loft f'r Bill Taft to reward our grand
old nartv. 'This hero adminsthra-
tion,' .says he, 'will be conducted on
no partison or sectional lines,' says
he, 'I will jino with me in th g6v
ernmint iv our common counthry,'
says ho, .'riprisintativo mimbers iv

publican party what,' he says, 'an'
where it is,' he says.
"An' he sint to our own fair city,
ITinnissy, f'r th' heroes to do th'
wurruk. In makin' his first seliction
his nachral choice fell on th' name
that has long stood at th' head iv th'
embattled Dimmycrats iv Uliye. I
need not tell ye that I refer to Jacob
Dickinson, if I have th' name right.
Since Stephen A. Douglas' day th'
sturdy but sparsely settled Dimmoc
racy iv Illinye have had no such
revered leader as Jakey Dickinson.
His cozy little ofilco in th' Illinye
Ulnthral buildin' was th' shrine iv
Dimmycrats. Often have I seen old,
battle-scarred Dimmycrats fr'm Win
niybago county who voted th' ticket
whin it was punishable with death
or imprisonment f'r life at th' dis
cretion iv th' cport, often have I seen
thim takin' their boys around an'
pintin' him out an' sayin', 'There he
is, me lad. Look well at him an' in
future years ye can say to ye'er
chlldher that ye have seen th' face
iv Joe H. Dickinson.' As a' leader
he was bold to th' pint lv recklessness
often bein' carried be his enthusyasm
into th' Republican ranks. But in
th' dark hours iv defeat he wud come
back to our councils an' tell us why
we lost It is not without a sinsa
tion iv grief, Hinnissy, that I see him
lave to take up bis jooties in a high
er spear. Us old Dimmycrats, we
will meet, but we will miss him. We
have missed him often on illction
day. Now we will miss him f'r th'
four years between, too. He will
make a gr-reat Sicrety iv War. In
time iv throuble ye may be sure that
his soord will flash fr'm its scabbard
an his voice be heerd proclaiming'
in claryon tones: 'Me brave boys,
befure us lies th' inimy's camp. Foil
low me an we will soon be in it.' "
DOOLEY ON THE BOLTERS
From "Mr. Dooley on political
events:"
ni here ye are- l don't know
what th1 Republicans wud do if it
wasn't f'r us Dimmycrats both be
fure, at' an' afther th' ilicttons. Ye
heerd how we thwarted th' almost
Inhuman conspiracy against Uncle
Joe Cannon. 'Tis a romantic story.
Ye know Uncle Joe? Annyhow, ye've
see his face in pitchers a handsome
X z iT visionary an' Incautious.
Out here In Illinye where we have
seen his wurruk, we know this saint
ed charackter. F'r many years Uncle
Joe has ruled th' House iv' Riprisint
atives be love an' be love alone. His
Sr w ' J18 nlG pote says' that is a
star an dwells apart. He nivir
shud ye been in pollyticks. He is th'
kind iv a man ye wud get to judge a
flower show but he wud be useless

morG about pollyticks thin Canada
Bill knew about three card monty.
He had been in Washington manny
years more thin th' conspirators, but
what does expeeryence count to a
man Who had done naw'thin' all his
wi tofe, ad money in chaee
