Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Deceptions and Delusions
If the author may properly refer to a particular merit of his effort, attention is called to the absence of vague ness, and the presence of directness and certainty. The reader is not left in doubt as to the meaning in any part or detail. Impractical schemes for ballot reform and primary elections are unsparingly criticized; the proper uses as well as abuses of party organizations are dis cussed in a positive direct way, and remedies not only suggested but formulated. Deceptions about railroad rate legislation and the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission are discussed with that freedom which a long deluded people should welcome. And when the Trust and Monopoly question is taken up the Shams and subterfuges of political officeholders and lawmakers are unsparingly exposed. In full confirmation of all of which the body of the work itself is respectfully re ferred to. Thomas Carl Spelling. New York, December, 1913.
