George l.. Miller, Judge j. NJ. Woolworth
and Judge Wakcley, have ! not right TO
say that you are not desirous OF number
ing among your membership men of TINS
character? Have | not Il right TO say that
you are eNpelling men from the outlying
counties who have contributed to the sue
cess of the club, but who have never en-
ioycd its hospitaities?
Now, in conclusion, l have said all this
simply for the purpose OF explaining my
position and not because of any interest
that have in the action of your club so far
as its proposed expulsion Is concerned. 1t
is not within the power of the Jacksoninn
club of omaha to make or uumakc demo-
Gratis. Men who advocate certain principles
thereby constitute Themselves members of
the democratic party Men who advocate
other and entirely different doctrines make
themselves populists, republicans or pro-
hibtionists as the case may be, and they
belong to any organization under what
ever name they choose. You can no moro
deprive me of my democracy than you cah
by resolution create value or demonstrate
that white Is black. RespectfulIy. yours.
