ADVOCATES TIIE BOYCOTT.

corporations that are coercing and
intimidating their employees into
voting for Mckinley.

from tho editorial:
"rhe Democrats ought to return
Gan eye for eye" II "A great cOrpO-
ration, organized to do Legitimate
business attempts to control tho
vote Of the men IL employs, they
ought to bo prosecuted by the OFF,
cers OF tho law"
"The people ought to take their

"Tho Democratic National Com
mittoe has requested to be advised

or Intimidation with the view Of
telling the honest people to boy
colt all such concerns. The India
IN Democrats are fully alive to the
necessity OF meeting intimidation
with boycott and have already put
il in force"
From the above it is clear that
the News and Observer heartily en-
dorses, nationally, the boycott
against corporations that practice
coercion or Intimidation in order to
control the votes OF their employ
es. II it is right to use the boycott
against corporations on account OF
their damnablo methods then why
viduals defeat the will OF the peo

timidation, bulldozing, and VIC
lencef The principle is precisely
the same. The voter by the adop
tion Of ballot-stutling methods loses
his vote and he has no more rights
then than tho employee who is CO.

II the News and Observer thinks
that the "Oemocrats ought to re-

OF the action OF these corporations

who heard him travelling advocate
of our cause. His speech was vote
getting one and made many converts
from the Republican side. His allu
