work to perform if possible. The Wings of Mary
land must send an entire Wing delegation to the
next Congress. It can be done, done easily. Only
bring out strongest men, Let the spirit Of per-

opposed in potcs--only want an opportunity to
rebnke the mon in power, the men whom they sent
to the last Congress, for their tAng with the high
interests of the country in the manner they have
done. Let every Wing in Maryland afford his OPP
ponent that opportunity. Give the Districts sound,
true Wings, Wings who command the confidence
Of Wings and the respect Of Democrats, and the
work is more than half done. All that remains to
he done is to enlighten the Democratic mind Of
Maryland. Let public meetings be held. Let the
Districts be canvassed in every nook and corner.
Let no man be without Wing light. Let it shine
from the house-tops. Let arguments be circulated,
going to expose the hypocrisy and dishonesty Of the
men in power at Washington. And then the
whole work will be done; and done quickly and
done well.
The National Wing will faithfully do its part in
The coming elections Of Maryland. 1t will fearless
