THE ARMY OF THE PEOPLE

Opponents of the movement for reform now
making such rapid and significant progress in
Rhode Island pretend to regard il as popular
spasm that will quickly pass away.
This is pretence only AT heart they know
the forces of reform are animated by no feeting
sense of injury momentary feeling of injustice.
Unless utterly incapable OF correctly nerpret-
ing the true spirit and attitude of the people, they
must realize that the present movement has behind
Il the firm and stern determination OF intell-
gent and loyal citizenship that will neither halt
nor waver until the work of rescung Rhode Island
from the political immoraites and iniquities that
have made her name by-word among her sister
states, and that have caused shame and sorrow
TO the decent man within her borders, has been
accomplished.
The army of the people is made up of men
of courage of conscience and of conviction.
In its ranks is the flower of Rhode Islands
manhood-men who think right, who vote right
and who will fight without falterng until right
rules in this commonwealth
They know what they are battling for. They
are not the sort that follow the crowd ignor
ant as TO its aspirations and careless as its pur
poses.
They know they are warning for the same
principle, for which the founders OF this republic
fought from Lexington 10 Yorktown free and
representative government.
Today the government OF Rhode Island is free
in name only because it confers the few prvi-i
leges that are the inalienable right OF all
1t is not representative because under it mi-
nority rule has entrenched itself and defanty ext
ercises the governing law-making and administra
tive functions
The army Of the people understands that per-'
version and subversion of these cornerstone prin-
ciples of our American institutions is the causel
of conditions which Col Goddard forcefully and
truthfully characterizes as Infamous"
The source of all this evil is constitution
which has been made of by designing men
TO place the majority of the people in positonl
OF almost helpless subsection to insignificant
minority
1t is the rrevocable purpose of the army OF
the people TO change all this 1t has begun already
its campaign for new constitution and in that
campaign it will be victorious
The proposition that will be submitted to the
people will be no such sham that offered by
Governor Utter during the recent session OF the
general assembly
1t will provide fair and just representation
to all the people on the floor OF the convention !;
and the work of that convention will restore to
Rhode Island majority rule and real representative
government

DOING WITHOUT"
FADS MULTIPLY

There Is a new doing without fad.
The doing without breakfast" habit.
which so many people have been labori-

"ooing without luncheon" system OF life.
and those who have tried 1t pronounce 1t
as easy as IL is cheap.
There are said to be good reasons back
OF the luncheon fad. 1t divides ones fast
more evenly than to go from dinner to
luncheon unfed. IL reduces the labor OF
housekeeping for both mistress and
maids. and 1t gives the little stenographer
or naughty saleslady a chance TO shop

sist in doing without dinners.
