for tell you as one that highly appre-
ciated and respected your letters, they
were at the point of issue, and right
up to date l will agree with you'
"Wild West" that there might posi-
bly, be enough of the Socialist party II
they were all put together, to consti-
tute a quorum. They might cut flg-
ure and dash in the general govern
ment of this nation, but you see, how
ever, they are like thinly settled in
habitants of wild country, not
enough to do any business, They re-
mind me very much of small bunch
of wild geese. They make a heap OF
fuss and stir up big racket, but 1t S
hard indeed, to get close to them in
their belief, or get them to light in
any one locality. They skip from pill
low to post. mean they are one day
a democrat and the next day repub-
lican, the third day a Socialist, and
the fourth day they are nothing. But
ON the fifth day they give the original
republican and democrat down the
country, and they make them out as
corrupt from start to finish, and the
very fact in issue is that at one time
they were either democratic or repub-
! lican, for know some of the advocates
and from whence they come. One of
them sucked a good old republican
mother and the other gentleman suck
ed dear old democratic mother to my
knowing, so now you see since both
mothers of these two old political par
ties have quit giving them milk, they
got very indignant and raw. They
quit the two grand old parties and
Topped over in the arms of stepmoth
er of the Socialist party to try to suck
again, and this Socialist mother prob
ably has promised them teat to suck
by and by is why they are cutting and
carving and knitting these two grand
old parties to the heart. The general
government of the United States GER
tainly knows the difference between
the republican and democratic parties,
and the difference between a Socialist |
party, and whether or not it would do,
and the nation would be safe in the |
hands of such party OF not. My hon.
est opinion is that neither the republi- |
can or democratic party of the country |
would risk them just now, either on
land or water, unless they grow and
increase to greater extent than what |
they are just now, and in fact, they
will have to change their platform
from what it is just now, for l tell
you, readers, they are beyond recogni
tion of the people of the nation, al
though they could come in time In
ages to come they might accidently
fool enough fools to join in with them
and probably carry the country and
run the nation, and the result would
Do she would have to go into bankrupt
sy and fall into the hands of foreign
'eceiver This socialist don't know, |
Inn lead to believe, just what it costs
20 run this nation one day, let alone
our years All I will say is when you
90 to sleep at night, boys, keep one
Eye at least open on this socialist
and wait until it fully de-
yelops itself, and if it proves to be TIE
'eal thing to the full satisfaction of all
My motto is and has al !
ways been in the past, to let whatever |
,arty that can get up majority of I
qualified voters of the nation, to carry
lis party and platform to success, and c
rown her with victory and let her I
ule and reign over this government. @
ct it be a democrat, republican or So c
ialist. I
We were shocked to the very depths '
# our soul to hear of the sad death of s
