Pelton, that under the Hamilton machine, the politics, and particularly the enforcement of the laws, in this state, are unbelievably corrupt, but I wonder " Mongery paused. "Just a moment; I see a flash bulletin being brought in." The novice Literate came to his side and gave him a slip of paper, at which he glanced. Then he laughed heartily.
Pelton muttered: "Why Frank sponsors that blabbermouth of a Mongery " Ray, sliding back onto the bench, returned to his food.

You heard this fellow Mongery I always have to pause to keep from calling him Mongrel saying that I deserved the credit for pulling the Radicals out of the mud and getting the party back on the tracks. Well, I couldn't have begun to do it without Frank Cardon."
