such sentiment as You did and coupl
it with false statement as to tb
facts, and claim to have human sym
patty and human love for suffering
humanity, to say nothing of God ant
christianity. You may write all yol
please about the fatherhood of GoC
and the brotherhood of man, but wher
you utter that strong vituperation and
base charge against this government
for giving freedom to more than tive
millions of crushed, starved, imprison
ed and down trodden people, You will
find it hard to convince your readers
that You have any regard for either.
You keep trying to pound into my
head what you think is christian
mans duty. Mr.. Brannan, you surely
could not expect me to accept your
theology, for it is SO much like your
politics. l have tried to use some
logic on you in taking up your state
ments in this regard. Your abusive
statements in regard to the Christian
people would be sufficient for me to
turn down your theology. can hard

In your copied statements from the
Ripsaw and other Socialist literature,
you are making what occurs to me to
be weak argument for Socialism.
You cannot connect copied statements
and make good argument, Mr.. Bran

Of my neighbors are being converted
to this dangerous doctrine. In my op-

that the people are not aroused or

As to your prediction in regard to
amount of gain in votes in the next 90
years, it may all transpire, as you
say, if the opposers lie asleep on this
question as they seem to be now.
