Who Are to Govern.

Not the privileged few. but theprivileged
masses are to govern in the United Safes
hence the masses must be educated, The
uneducated voter, be he white or black. is
simply tool in the hands of some wire
working politician, who, with smoothe
tongue and crafty brain put the ticket of
his selection. who drops it into the ballot
box. The power, therefore. of the average
politician, is only limited by the number
of ignorant voters he can manage to
''button-hole" before an election. There
is bat little difference between this con-
ditien of things and the condition prevail
ng during the days of slavery. The slave
holder cast one vote for every five slave .

every ignorant voter he can succeed in
convincing of the merits of the candidates
of his party. And yet these mistaken W
