organization on the question Of partisan poll
itics. The circular reads in part as follows:
First. We have not, nor will we, ask Knights

ical party's candidates because of the party.
Second. We have not, nor win we, -
Knights Of Labor, by act or word, oppose the

by which they may climb into power, after
which they will most likely kick il into the
ditch"

assisted the officer in his search through the
house for the daughter. but he failed to find
her. 1t was on account of that visit that the
