would not suffer themselves to be side

be made little bit Of tail

to say that several writer's in Henry
Georges paper had tried to side-track the
Labor party, but they had failed miserablv,
and it was therefore untrue to say that the
United Labor party was divided. A paper
had declared that Henry George would not
accept the nomination. We'll, there was

from. Were Henry George even to give up
