I b. That 1t define the status of female
members In respect TO voting and repre-
sentation in higher bodies. g z
In regard TO lecturing the president re-
fers to Its great importance; praises
State Lecturer Talbert highly. saws that
he has been aflatteringIy endorsed" by
tie order, but has been unable to meet
the demands made upon him. The de-
mands are increasing, and National
Lecturer Terrell has been engaged for a
series OF lectures, covering each county,
during the late summer and fall.
Recommendation Is made for the pro-
tision OF u lecturer to be constantly in
the field, armed with literature sent out
Iby the proposed propaganda bureau. He
would not only enlighten the people, but
pay his expenses and turn handsome
fund into the treasury.
The interest of the Alliance in Glenn
son College Is stated, and it is praised as
("the noblest possible monument to the
intelligence, benevolence and patriot
ism OF its projectors"
Under the head of"the Outlook, )" the
address Continues:
despite the wonderful results
wrought 50 far in all the fields of Alli-
aDce work directly, and indirectly in the
political field, the signs of the times
point to the tact that the supreme test
is at hand along financial and political
lines-existing parties apparently pitch
their fight npon the financial field.
Strange to say that party which profit
ed most last year by the educative forces
OF the Alliance, and which should by
every token have least to lose by educa-
tive force, is most bitter in its antagon-
ism, If we are to rely upon the utt erance
OF some OF the leaders and newspaper eX-
peunders. There is every evidence of
a massing Of forces before the financial
demands OF the order. Foes within
and foes without have been marshalled
for supreme struggle.
"As intelligent men it bshoves us to
consider all the conditions and bear our
selves as men. Thepast is inspiring, the
prospect though stormy, is inviting.
The issues have been made up fairly
and joined between the monopolistic
element Of our population, on the one
hand, and the masses of the people on
| the other-whether the masses or the
classes shall control the government-
whether the iniquitous financial system
devised and fastened upon this country
by Wall and Lombard streets shall
stand and continue to rob the people,"
The assertion is made that 1.-The perpe-
tulty of free institutions Is hanging in
the scale with a corrupt and degenerate
plutocracy."
| Assurance is given that the other
classes are coming to join the Alliance.
