ride a tandem geared at 80, in the
coming races, and attempt to
break the state tandem record.
Twenty-three wheels were sold

This shows the efficacy of an ad

The men are divided into three

They are under the able instruction

The list of those in training for
the races up to date is as follows {:

The frame OF Elmo Eason's

was at work training at the Jockey

injured Mr.. Eason, but dumped
several other riders who were fol-

more seriously hurt, but their in

Good Doctrine That Can be Applied Any
where.
Never within the history OF the Texas
Farmers Alliance has there been such
pressing need for disinteres.ed, active,
work, as at present. Never has there
been such necessity for calm, unprejI-
diced consideration Of the industrial
problem as to day. Our support of any
political party Or any candidate for
Cfi "a, unpledged to cur Alliance de-
mands principles as set forth in the
Omaha platform, would sound the
death knell of our grand Alliance or
~ganization. Recent events have only
served to strengthen the conviction
that it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to or
gaUiz3 our forces more closely and keep
Up CONSTANT communion, consultation
and lecturing among our ~long-sutfer-
ing people. We must keep up a o
slant agitation on Alliance reforms,
and whenever a libel against the Order
or any of it's members appears, we
should nail it promptly without delay.
Remember that the uniaiieted are
locking on, and only need conviction
to make the Alliance cause theirs.
Ceaseless agitation and education of
true Alliance principles must be per
sisted in. An honest investigation Of
Alliance principles and aims By the in
telligent farmers and citizens of our
country will do more towards swelling
OUR ranks with the most desirable ele
ment than any other method OF organ
~ization. Ny experience has bean that
the ruen who deliberate long before
j0injDgany great 0vemtnt are ueually
the onts who deliberate long before
leaving it to the merciless graep Of the
goldbug robbers and unprinc}p'ed pc
litical dsmagogues. They demand the
best evidence to convince them to either
step.
TIE goldOug conspiracy is making
slaves of U people, and having re-
cejved numerous solicitations to take
the field for active work, I have decided
to again give battle to the National
Bank Conspiracy against Our people.
The facts OF that conspiracy should be
thoroughly understood by eli, and for
that reason will demonstrate is on q
