In my last annual message 20 congress said,
II must yet hope that IL N possible 10 secure q
calm, patriotic consideration Of such cOnstitu'
tiOnal or statutory changes as may be neo'
essary 10 secure the choice Of the Ofiicors
OF the government by fair appointments
and free elections 1 believe II will be
possible To constitute q commission non
partisan In its membership and composed OF
patriotic, wise and impartial men 10 whom o
consideration OF the ques tiOns OF the evils con
nected with our election systems aud methods
might be committed with q good prospects OF
securing unanimity IN some plan for removing
or mitigating those evils
"The constitution would permit tho selection
OF the commits sion TO be vested In the supreme
court, II that method would give this guaranty
OF impartiality. This commission should he
charged with tho duty Of lnquring into the
whole subject OF ln1ulrIng into the law Of cleo
tions as related 10 the choice Of oifcors Of the
national government with Wow 10 securing "a

II seemed 10 me that an appeal TO our people
70 consider the question Of Feadjusting our legis

find some effective response, Many times

Frank Moran came on from Boston to represent
Sullivan personally. but he left all tho talking

things to the point.
Mike Donovan of the New York A. @. carried
the money for Corbett. and this fact set some

Principles of the United Order Of Anti
Monopolists.

Principles of the United Order Of Anti
Monopolists.
Realizing that our American government not
prohting by lessons from her predecessors
must now account for committing the same
great crime which has caused the downfall of
each former republic and understanding that
the blighting curse to US results from secret
bands of conspirat tors, by whom the great SOW
ere1gn powers OF government are being used to
crush out the liberties Of the people, and make
slaves of the Masses causing such a state of
deSt1tut1on, discomfort and crime, that no peo-
pie can long endure, we, believing that when
bad men combine good men must associate" 9"
have formed the organization known as the
United Order of Anti-Monopolists, and declare
that there is vital, dangerous and over
shadowing question now before this nation
compared to which all others are insignificant
That question is: Shall the great powers Of
the government be used tC crush out the Hber-
ties OF the people, rob the industries make
serfs and slaves of the masses or shall II be
used as intended by the fathers to protect the
interests Of the people, guard their liberties
and aid their happinessi
We, therefore, declare our objects to be:
l. To do all in our power, legally, to secure the
repeal Of all class laws.
2. To work for the abolition Of the national
banking system in the United States, and re-
store to the government alone the right to issue
and control the volume Of money.
g. To abolish every species of monopoly IN the
land, and we believe that actual occupants only
should hold titles to land.
l. l. To transfer the ownership Of all railroads
telegraph and telephone lines to the govern
lnent, where they belong TO be operated as Is
the pos tai system.
s. To secure pure ballot and q fair count
and with view to this end, we want the Aus
tralian system of voting.
