HOT nominate canulualeS, nor even discuss
their merits in its meetings. N
Yet the principles we teach underlie all
true politics, all true craftsmanship, and, if
properly carried out, will tend to purify
the whole political atmosphere of our coun-
try.
For we seek the greatest good to the
greatest number. But we must always
bear it in mind that no one by becoming
Grange member gives up that inaienable
right and duty which belongs to every
American citizen, to take proper interest
in the politics of his country. m II
On the contrary, it is right for every
member to do all in his power legitmately
to influence for the good the action of any
political party to which he belongs.
1t is his duty to do all he can in his own
party to put down bribery, corruption and
trickery; to see that none but competent,
faithful and honest men, who will unflnch-
ingly stand by our industrial interests are
nominated for positions of trust; and to
have carried cut the principles which should
always characterize every Grange member,
that the office should seek the man, and not
the man the Office.
We acknowledge the broad principle,
that difference of opinion is no crime, and
hold that "progress towards truth is made
by difference of opinion" while "thc faul
lies in bitterness of controversy" (
We desire a proper equality, equity and
fairness; protection for the weak, re-
straint upon the strong in short, Justly
distributed burdens, and Justly distributed
power. These are American ideas, the
very essence Of American independence,
and to advocate the contrary is unworthy
of the sons and daughters of an American
republic. i 80
We cherish the belief that sectionalism
is, and of right should be dead and buried
