CoXey movement and has written a maya
zine article in which he points out that

traction and summarizes il as "OIganiZ5d
want" If the Government should yield
to CoXey's demands other armies would

which he defines as A recorded opinion.

ratiOns and will give them no more. If
they get any more supplies in Quincy they
will have to come from private sources.
