Many are excluded by the nature of our
organization, not because they are profes.
sional men, or artisans, or laborers. but
because they have not sufficieHt direct
interest In filling the soil, or NAV have
some interest in conflict with our pur-
poses. But we apply TO all good citizens
for the cordial cooperation to assist in
our efforts towards reform, that we may
eventually remove from our midst the
last vestige Of tyranny and corruption.
We hall the general desire for fraternaI
