To boil this down
Demand Of your candidates that they repre-
sent, as Bishop NCCabe says. the 700 per cant
OF the people and not the 10 per cent made up
from some organization. The people can elect
the free man sure II they let the facts be KNOWN
Next. don't fail % go individually or In q
body to demand Of the newspaper that wants
your patronage that Il print as much matter In
the interests Of the free citizens as " does OF tbs
proceedings" and favorable eonlnent or the
labor trust. Then ass the advertisers IN the
papers afraid TO publish this article why they
support a sheet OF that character.

and press. fearing to stand upon the God-S3yel
principles OF human liberty. fearing for votes
and patronage. But they have temp0rized and
compromised too long. and history repeats itself.
Whenever in the affairs Of q nation one class
enslaves another, fear always begets cOwardlCe.
Then there is attempt to compromise with the
wrong. and that sin OF compromise is such a
crime against the eternal principle Of human
liberty that Il brings increased tyranny, Op-
preston and misery by the spread O4 that slay-

now. Every day sees new victims. American
citizens marOOned. impressed and subjected To
the slavery Of the labor trust. These victims
frequently struggle to free themselves. IL they
fight hard enough they may succeed. but many
cannot. Will you stand idly b. and see this
wrong go on? Please read this article over
again and carefully get the facts clearly IN your
mind, and then as you value your native
land and the freedom OF your person and
children, ACT. Demand OF your newspaper
that IL stand for the common people, and de-
