Yuba after which Thomas Lee Wool
wine of Los Angeles was called on to
address the conference ON "Insurgery.
Mr.. Woolwines speech elected tre-
mendous applause. and was delivered
In most eloquent and impressive
manner. His address follows:
"Just on the threshold of what I have
to say today | want to tell you that
this imperishable republic was con-
ceived and given birth in insurgency.
In such a spirit was the Declaration of
Independence written, and the same
forces made possible the adoption of
the constitution of the United States.
Patrick Henry himself was one Of the

CORPORATIONS THREATEN
"By this means the corporations
created by the government, nov
threaten the free institutions of thei
creator. They are seeking control o
every branch of government, both ma
tional and state, with more or less sue
cess. From time to time the peopl
