Pbsident PolR Addresses The Order
Officially.
N Interview With Congressman
Oates of Alabama, ON the Al
lance Demands.
To the Brotherhood Of the Nationa,
Farmers Auiaace and industrial

we will assuredl - ~ l66sfs Triumph,
If we be cautious, pfudent, faithful and
firm. The OUTLOOK for the success of the
great reforms we advocate, was never so
hopeful and encouraging as now. The
Order throughout the whole country is
| daily adding to its numbers, and it is in
finer spirit and is more thoroughly united
than ever before. But the peculiar con
dltlons confronting US demand the ut
most caution, lest we commit errors,
which might prove fatal tn our cause.
The action of our State Alliances and of
the Supreme Council, in their forthcom-
ing annual meetings, will be universally
regarded with earnest interest, and the
character of that action depends largely
on the wisdom of the subordinate bodies.
The sub-Alliance are to select members
as delegates to the county Alliances,
which are to choose delegates to the
State Alliance, which in turn is to select
delegates to the Supreme Council.
In view of the great and important
v..s work g ss aaRa ss@ SsTla sssss Ali;
largely directed by the State bodies and
the Supreme Council, the brotherhood is
earnestly admonished to exercise great
care in selecting the men to whom must
be entrusted the responsibility of guiding
our course as an Order.
Let those who are to legislate for us.
i'll the State Alliances and in the Supreme
Council, be not only our ablcst and
wisest men, but let their loyalty 10 our
cause be without taint or tarnish.
Put none but true and faithful Ali
ancemen on guard in this hour or our
great need, aad all wi | be well.
