Tom Watson in November Throughout the other
states as we'll, many who supported Bryan in good
faith have at last had their eyes opened to the fact
that independent action only is the hope Of the
nations endurance, since the Democratic Organiza
tion as we'll as that of the Republican party is own
ed pure and simple by the gamblers Of Wall Street
The trouble is that these manipulators Of the
cOuntry's business as we'll as its politics have beer
able to so long fool the Masses that they have con
cluded that their lease is for all time. In this We
believe they will be deceived. The masses are mol
ignOraHt. They are slow to act, because they are
busy struggling to meet the demands upon them
but they have been reading and thinking for several
years. and as the yoke OF oppression has been stead
lily and firmly settled upon their necks their eyes
have been pressed open; until now they can see
few inches from their noses and are beginning tC
realize that they must act for themselves or go into
perpetual slavery to the class who dominate the
two old parties.
Everywhere Mr.. Watson, their champion in the
present camaig goes he meets enthusiastic acclaim

thing will be done that money and corrupt politca
tactics can invent and carry out to thwart this pop

polls.
Want Of efeCtual organization among the masses
is the only thing that can possibly preven
Tom WatsOn's election and installation in the whit,
house. The people want him and are willing to
trust him, but as an unOrganized mass, 40 many
sections will be neglected that the tools OF the OLE
parties viii have easy sailing in fixing the returnI
to suit themselves.
II this desperate work in the interest Of the or
ganized classes who are growing richer by sapping
the producers, the machine managers are aided and
defended BY themOst wonderful end corrupt press any
civilization has ever known. Whatever the gods Of
greed want, the press which is owned By them, make
look plausble and the people are kept in utter ig
norance Of what is going on until it is too late tc

But it viii be discovered that these presumpt-
