THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO TOM

"FIGHT 1T STRAIGHT"

The words printed below are words of wisdom.
Such words have been heard and read over and over
again. But still the lesson has to be learned Men and
brethren-n the state of Minnesota there will be
state meeting of the alliance By luke-warm, fusion
sentiment the glorious spirit of 1890 and 1891 has been
reduced to low ebb The last state alliance had only
$780, delegates real and pretended to represent the
1900 alliances. 1t under the thumb and guidance
of a veteran fusonist-a whose whole life has been
one of scheming for personal elevation.
Will you read these words from Tom Watson and
your state alliance nerved to destroy the power
of who never lose opportunity to trade your
Samson strength for personal advantage? We plead
with you to go to your alliances that strong
are sent who will stand like rock against every
who dealt in trades bargained for the endorse
ment OF your enemies If any man wants to endorse
our ticket let him do it ctzen-not as ring with
something to trade.
