and seventy-five years ago The con-
dftIon ov France then wux largely
due TO religious bickerin' and tntof-
erance. Our trouble to-day comes
largely from political bigotry and in
tolerance. Vote hit out, drive hit out
and not stop to examine the weap-
ons or tools used 50 long a. you are
goln' forward. The very life or this
republic depends upon prompt, de-
cisive action. One ov the so-called
great political parties in this country
hez bin at this dangerous undermIn-
in work ov treachery for forty years:
al hit controls a fragment ov the
Republican party in this and other
Southern States and uses hit az a
two-handed broom to sweep away
any and awl honest opposition. In

monster, for hit cannot be better de-
scribed than TO call hit a hideous
monster, puts up fairly decent ap-
pearance. But in reality hit hez awl

form but wherever and whenever hit
can, hit tightens the grip which the
trusts hev upon the public throat
Why Because the trusts hev money
and they do not hesitate to spend
hit among Democratic Congressman
and among Democratic legislators.
