Editorial.
ATTENTION, A-LLIANCEMEN!

Secretary Parker requests us to
repeat and urge upon Presidents of
county Alliances the Importance of
having a call meeting of each county
organization that failed to meet in
July. It is important that every
County Alliance having one or more
live Subs. be represented at the State
meeting. Where for any reason a
county meeting was not held at the
regular time, let the president at
once call a meeting to be held before
State meeting, say Thursday, August
9th, or Saturday, August 18th. This
is a matter that admits of no delay f;
let the call be made at once.
To make these county meetings a
success, every Sub. must be repre-
scented. If your Sub. has not met in
some weeks, have a call meeting at
once, let every member be present,
pay his dues, and send a good man as
delegate to county meeting.
The campaign is over. Get your
Subs. together get county organiza-
tions in good shape, and all together
for a great State meeting at Hills
boro, August 18th, and the great
work of reorganization that is to
follow!
The order is, that we go forward !!

THE CAMPAIGN AND OUR POLICY.

Before our next issue the campaign
will be over. Serving no master,
ruled by no faction, circumscribed by
no selfish or narrow policy" The
Progressive Farmer has preserved a
non-partisan attitude, and has spoken
only in the interest of truth, toler-
ance, peace, and moderation. We
are under obligations to no party or
party boss, and whether Democrats
or FusiOnists win, o may
expect from us a fearless and
impartial account of the manner in
which they serve the public and CON
duct themselves regarding their plat
form pledges and all matters in which
the people are interested. We know
that we could have received from two
to four times as much money during
the past six months by adopting a.
partisan course as we have by the
independent policy we have pursued,
but we cannot shut our eyes to the
truth wherever found nor condone
a falsehood because upheld by some
special set of men. We are still
here-an unmuzzled paper for the
masses, and our circulation is consid-
erably larger than at the beginning
Of the campaign.
