VINO SHALL SUCCEED JONES.

For mere than ten years the sole
qualification for a United States SEN

should have plenty of money, with a
willingness to use it. The buying and
selling of Senatorships has thus become
one of the largest and best established

Journal Of the American Legion Of Honor
No other organization of kindred
character can equal the great progress
made by the Order of the American
Legion of Honor, but little oyerfoul
years old. From ten members inl87s
to nearly $4,000, again from a few
dollars collected on first assessment to
nearly 5000 for ono assessment al
present. 1t has required 81 assess
ments to pay losses caused by 485
deaths. From one Council to nearly
lIll00 Councils located in all parts of
this great country. During 1882
there were thirteen assessment calls,
two of which were to cover death los
ses of 1881. 1t is not necessary to
solicit OF beg members to come and
join as we arc in that position that
membership in our Councils is now
sought. We offer cheap, expedi-
tious, reliable guarantee that we can
do what we profess, that is, to pay to
the dependent of a six degree member
the sum of five thousand dollars with
out any quibble Or delay. All we
require to continue to increase aud
multiply Is to cultivate harmony and
confidence, from the highest to lowest
byrpriyate members and officials, sub
ordinate, Grand and Supreme.
