PIE Solid South is making q strike
for empire. We do not believe a ma

al interests will be best promoted by

There are no Democratic principles
The Democratic party is sustained by
the solid South because 1t puts itself III
the service of the old slave power bosses
who brought on the rebellion. The
Democratic party is run on the spoils
system aud sympathy with the rebel
lion. Theie are over one million South
ern votes not cast. What does that
mean? II means the disfranchisemenl
OF the Southern people. We do not con-
sent TO the doctrine that there are no
southern peeple but those who aided in
the rebellion.
There are others than Democrats who
have right to call themselves South>

who fought TO destroy the U. 5. Govern
ment Is thereby entitled to two votes in

but we tell the old slave politics bosses
that they have had their last innings.
