Bro. W. B. Rand, of Auburn
Alliance, No. Al, Wake county, writes
as follows: alt is quite amusing to
: see how the Alliance has stirred up
Vthe political pot to boiling heat. The
Alliance going into politics surely
gives trouble doubled to many old DO
itical war-horses who have had it in
stllled into their heads that their WAYS
are immutable. For the sake of those
who seem to be SO much interested
and troubled about our political policy,
l would say and bespeak, too, the
sentiment of the Alliance, that we are
going into politics just far enough to
get into the primaries and use u in.
