you have already begun; and you will
certainly greatly oblige the laborers
and farmers of this state. I remain,
your friend, CHRIS. HANSON,
Secretary of the Rothsay Alliance,
No. 773.
GLENCOE, Mimi, Sept. I'd, 1890.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
! The GREAT WEST is one of the
grandest and most fearless reform
papers published in the state OF Min
nesota, it is jumped on to by every
plutocracy sheet, in the state, and
why? Because it exposes the frauds
and monopolies, and trusts, and
makes them pull in their horns. And
their twenty thousand dollar bets !!
I herewith inclosed send you the fol-
lowing clipped from one OF the papers,
the Glencoe Register, that the GREAT
WEST is going to sell out Yes, Oh!
yesl Sell the GREAT WEST and then
Hall and Lathrop and fewmore are
all right.
And then the cry will rise, "Albert,
we got them moss backs" Now,
GREAT WEST, stand by us in the fu-
ture as in the past, and you will
float on the sea, where Hall and La
throp and the two-faced plutocracy
leaders will drown in pail. Expose
them, G. w. The Farm, Stock and
Home sent the Secretary of Alliance,
No. 996, a sheet advertising what
are called "Alliance Papers" to read
to said alliance. First question asked
was if the G. w., was mentioned.
Answer, ono" Throw it in the waste
basket" and in said sheet went. Go
slow, Farm, Stock and Home!
GREAT WEST has many friends that
it may hurt. Mcleod County has
placed full alliance ticket in the
field and we are going to elect it. l
herein inclose their names-all good
alliance men. G. w., stand by us.
We can't get along without your
aid. A. C. WEIGH.
Vice President of the N. w. Alliance,
No. 996.
The GREAT WEST is firm as a rock
yet.
The following resolutions were sent
us last week, but we're detached from
the letter, and we have forgotten
what alliance they came from, but
are quite sure Lac qui Parle is the
father of them:
WHEREAS, John Lathrop has de.
monstrated his incapacity to per-
form the duties of Secretary of the
State Alliance by his neglect of it's
business, bungling method of book
keeping, and reckless expenditure of
it's funds without authority
Therefore be it Resolved, that this
alliance in Justice to itself and the
organization at large, demands of
the executive committee his REM v al
from office, and the appointment of
some one competent to transact the
business
RESOLVED, That we demand the
employment OF an expert accountant
to examine his books and accounts,
and straighten them out as far as
cossible.
: RESOLVED, That we demand that
all expenditures by him Of alliance
funds not authorized by the coilsti-
tuition of the state alliance be charged
back to him.
RESOLVED, That copy of these
resolutions be sent to the chairman of
the executive committee demanding
immediate action. Also acopy to the
GREAT WEST for publication.

The farmers around here say La

cred and driven from the country.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Many counties are talking indepen-
dent political action. Why not issue
call for the Chairmen of the county
committees to meet in st. Paul and
form State Central Committee, not
to antagonize the one now in the
