hands Of monied aristocracy, that defes law and
morality and bribes courts juries, Legislatures,
gress, United States senators sdbborns witnesses
sheriff and constabes, and stands practically i'm

fuence Of place seeking politicians and stand like a
stone wall for the equal rights Of man, special
privileges to none, and in case it fails to do it
makes no difference who leads in 1908 its demise is
