means to accomplish that end. At
meeting held at Camp Coxey this even
ing the citizens were severely denounced,

ceive advice as to the legal right Of the
citizens in getting rid OF the Coxeyites.

power over his men is simply phenom-
email. They declare anything is good
enough for them, If Coxey is pleased.
