that if the Democratic party is afraid

COMRADES In order to mako

necessary that each member should

each man consider himself com.
mittee of one-especially appointed

cessful termination of the ultimate
purpose of our organization. The
spirit with which the movement has
been accepted leads your committee
to believe in the success of our un-
dertakiDg.
Cheerful words and encouraging
letters are received from oil parts Of
the county.
Animated by the cheerful pros
poet, your Executive committee
could not be silent, but proposed to
diffuse these inoiting tidings.
The latent memories oil field and
camp fire of the citizen soldier have
been aroused in anticipation OF the

nal feeling engendered by mutual
suffering for common cause will
give an impetus to the completion
of our expected organization.
