pies:
[. That no peace can come 10 Il
distracted and embittered country
through either OF the old party
organizations they represent
the passions and resentments OF
sections and the wrath and hates

Ii. That the success Of a new
party upon new issues would as
suage the evil passions of the conn-
try; divide up the popular vote up
on new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and assure'
the nation peace and repose.
III. That the powers OF gov
ernment should not be used 70 en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many, but to arrest the aggres-
sions and cunning of the few. In
other words "to take care OF the
poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves" -
