settled To my mind these define them

oppressive trusts and combinations, and
the immediate enactment OF a just and
honest scheme of colonial government
These would have been issues upon which

Imperialism is simply pretext of the

to the polls and endeavoring to degrade
it. Imperialism is the paramount
issue, despite all efforts to make it so.

evils attendant the acquisition of new
territory, which the inevitable re-
