l will give to the buccaneers a degree
in politics the way and manner re-
ceive them. First, as republican l
take a democrat through the following
degree by asking him il he has voted
the republican ticket at one time, ana
where. If he answers yes, l give MIN
first grade and stamp him one-thlrd
republican. When he votes the repuo-
lican ticket the second time l grade
and stamp him a two-thirds repubH-
can. When he votes the republican
ticket three times.ia succession, issue
him a certificate as full hedged re-
publican, has passed all the degrees
stood good examination by voting
the republican ticket three times, and
then put badge and blue ribbon on
him, and he then passes his certlhcate
over to our chairman and one OF the
republican leaders, and it is read and
passed ON by a two-third vote of the
republican assembly calledtogether by
the authorities to transact such busl-
ness. The certificate of membership is
received and l move the Chair to re-
ceive them all that have passed these
three degrees, and voted three times
in succession. and hold such certitl-
cate of honor, and Bro. Bill seconds
the motion, and the Chair puts it be-
fore the body, and they are received by
a unanimous vote and then we all JOIN
in and extend to them the full hand
of republican fellowship, and the Sec
rotary makes minute OF these demo-
Gratis that have been regenerated and
entered the republican fields, and their
names are properly entered ON the
Clerks register book, and will be
known hereafter as true, converted de-
mocrats into the republican doctrine
and her faith. And the same proceed
ings apply to a republican when he
passes the degrees and votes the dem
cratic ticket three times. The demo-
cratic party may issue him certifl-
cate of membership as converted re-
publican into the democratic faith
and doctrine, and pass him through
the same formality of requirements as
we do. Voting the ticket three times
is all it requires to make him a full
fiedged democrat or full fiedged re-
publican. It only draws line of dis
tinction between the two old original
parties / think the country is per-
fectly safe as long as the two old par
ties rule, but can't say much about
the Socialists, the baby.has to be born
yet in regard to that party, therefore,
/ decline to discuss dead issue.
There is time enough yet to come in
the future, and the people of the ma
ton will take care of the Socialist
party when it comes into power and
existence. The two old parties are all
we can handle just now to keep them
from dividing into four parties.
l see the States coalition is not re-
turned yet What you reckon is the
matterr Oh, how long will we have
to wait yet? The remaining members
that stayed at their post of duty have
put the turpentine to the absconding
members by continuing the term OF
the Legislature right on in session
throughout the entire time to end in
1919. ! will bet you the old family
boss they come lettering in. 1t
wouldn't surprise me in the least that
before the next sitting of the legisla-
ture the members charge each other
with something not very pleasant, and
things, fear, will get chronic and
sensational before the end comes.
bet the old family boss will surely die.
The wife of Asbery Terry is still
alive, has improved aid may live some
time yet. Hope she will fully reeov-
