Free passes are not oulv furnished to particular officials, but to candidates who are the friends of the great cor poration, by the hundreds to make friends and bring out voters. In other words they are used to set up one mau (the tool of corporations) and defeat any man who is a true friend of the people. Now my good friend, pardon the liberty I take with you, but I write out of pure good will, ond liecause I respect you as a true and courageous man, not afraid to support the right, and because I firmly believe our people are not going to throw away so good a thing for thrir benefit as the new constitu tion.
