The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-03-27

is gained? Should q tool OF plutOc-
racy, bought and paid for, guide the
great reform? Mr.. A. praises DON
nelly's course land yet, astounding
as it is, leans warmly to those who
have drawn the razor across his
throat his bitter foes!
Jas. Monro, the Sec'y OF West AL
bany Alliance, 11O8, sends us resolu-
tions, and proceedings.
The Secretary read the circular
letter OF Mr.. Donnelly, which was is
sued to the sub-Alliance of the state
containing two propositions, one of
which was to purchase the GREAT
WEST. This was taken and deliber-
ately considered, and resulted in
unanimous voice of all members pres
ent to not purchase the G. w. For
all considered that the paper was far
safer in the hands of it's present edi-
tor, than it possibly could be under
the control of the Executive Commit
tee. We, as an alliance will endeavor
to do all in our power to see that
every member of our Alliance shall
become a subscriber to the GREAT
WEST, a paper which contains more
truth and needed information to the
toiling class than all the other pa
pers in the Twin-Clti combined. 1t
is the wish of Alliance 11O8 that the
lives of Messrs. Fish and Frain may
be long spared to battle for the re-
form which they have so nobly and
fearlessly done in the past, and that
their future may be bright and glori-
GUS.
Circular letters of Miss Eva Nc
Donald and Mr.. H. c. Bjorge were al
so read, which were Immediately Or
dered to be laid on the table, with
most intense feeling OF disgust. For
we do not consider Miss Mcdonald in
any sense our State Lecturer, and
wonder very much at our Executive
Committee that they do not declare
the Office vacant, and fill the same
with some good true Alliance man,
qualified to fill the position.
We appointed a committee to col
lect the state dues in advance as sug-
gested in Mr.. Donnelly's letter, and
will forward the same as soon as
Committee reports.
J. Strandness writes, "God bless
you with good health and a long life
so you can go on with the good
work."
F. J. Kron, Sec'y Freeland ALI
ance, 513, sends report of Frank
Thurlby, Sec'y pro tenn, with resolu-
tions, demanding that forfeiture be
not repealed, and condemning O. M.
Larson for voting for passes.
Another communication from
Woodside Alliance lays down the law
of right and reason in regard to Miss
Mcdonald, Gan employe of our COM
mon enemv-not eligible to member
ship in an alliance" Also demanding
that the office be declared vacant.
They sent S. 40 to aid the state ALI
ance, and wish that matter published.
Probably Mr.. Stromberg can ex-
plain why this amount does not ap-
pear in financial report.]
The report closes with, "Comrade,
may your life be long upon the land
the Lord thy God has given thee
and your arm able to WELD the pen,
which is mightier than the sword.
You are doing a noble work, and al
most without support. With what
talent we have we will follow in thy
footstepsP'
This makes our heart thump loud
er and faster.
81. G. Mitchell, Secretary.

ance, 1O47, sends us resolutions of

cages.
