from your city, and all who visit your city
from adjoining cities, towns and states.
Every man that you initiate becomes
deputy by virtue of his initiation. He will
have then the power to initiate good men
and true wherever he meets them, and must
use due caution.
The existence of this order must never be
revealed to the uninitiated-simply show the
confidential, furnished for that purpose, to
the candidate; In that way broach the sub
ject to him.
Our great object is to initiate men ali over
the country, and as many as possible; in this
way set all men to thinking. and by this

with this deputy system we can spread
all over our beloved country and guard
every avenue of approach by putting

every congressional district in our country

pledged to our principles. Fraternally yours,
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

CHARGE.
Citizens, Brothers: The steady encroach-
ment of (No. 81 upon those institutions of
our country which we have so fondly cher
ished. and which we believe underlie the
whole fabric of our free government, have
impelled us into fellowship in this order
which we trust Divine Providence will use as
one of the instruments in His hands to effect
| the overthrow of that terrible power which
| has so long cursed the world.
In receiving you into our midst, it becomes
| my duty to charge you never to forget the
| obligations you have here voluntarily as
| sumed. Never allow yourself 10 be betrayed
| into any word or act by which the fact
of the membership of any brother
in the &C order 4,iera may be divulged to
security and the public good, let your infiu-
ence be felt in the advancement of (No. lO)
rather than (No. I'D to positions of political
| power, trust or emolument.
In our organization, mere party issues must
never be introduced, except so far as they in
are at liberty to select for yourself,

| your own convictions of loyalty and truth.
Your political affiliations may, at times. press
| you severely, but let your obligations ever
prevent you from yielding to party clamor.
| AS members of this order, seek to control
| party, rather than to allow party to trail
| your honor in the dust
Deputy, Brother-For as such am pleased
| to welcome you into our fraternity known
| among its members as (No. 12).
| We have certain signs and words and grips
| by which to recognize members of the order.
| These are to be used with caution and are as
| follows
