brethren who are induced to act so IN |
discreetly, to remember that the sub
treasury plan is the real living issue, and |
that the other demands are subordinated |
30 this one; and that the Alliance and |
other labor organizations will stand by |
it, and will have it or something better |
made into a law, "world without end"
We further say that no man in
North Carolina will be voted |
for by the Alliance members who dares |
TO dodge this issue, and not align him
self with it. No matter whp
the man is; no matter how much he i'm
proves as q speech maker; no matter how
much latfy is offered to the farmers
through these speeches, they are not go
ing TO be bllndtolded when they cast
their votes in 1899. What bosh,
and how ridiculous it sounds for
man to say he is with the
farmers, wishes them well, ETC., and at
the same time when it comes to make
laws for their relief, his votes his inge-
nuty, his whole skill as q politician is
used to defeat these ends. Let the boom
ing business go on, and let those who
think they are fooling the masses by all
The people are watching and waiting,
and when the time comes, the masses,
not the old political bosses, will name
the man. Brethren watch the booming
business through the partisan press.
