COMPANY L Is UP

Employers and Company is In
Grave Danger.

That Company L is In grave danger
of being mustered out of the state
service, was the statement of Captain
Frank LeBron, today. 1T is more than
likely" said Capt LeBron. that the
local militia will not be allowed to go
into camp because of the action of a
number OF the employers of this city
refusing to allow their men to go. We
now have just enough to complete our
quota, but another rundown and we
will all have to stay at home and sur
render our equipment. Yesterday
morning we had several extra men,
but last night four of them reported
that their employers refused to let
them go and that brought 1t to the
minimum number Of men
Tomorrow Captain LeBron will fur
nish The Gate City with a list Of men
in the company and by whom they are
employed and whether or not they are
going to camp Unless the company
can keep the number they have now,
they will be mustered out and their
equipment, which is one Of the best in
the state will be confiscated by the
state department. The officers and
men OF the company have worked hard
for two years getting their armory ar
ranged and now have one of the most
complete ones and they do not like to
see 1t taken away from them on ac-
count of the action of few business

Hlah Cost Of LJyIno.

The high cost of living is due part
ly to worldwide and partly to local
causes, partly to natural and partly
to artificial causes The measure pro-
posed in this platform on various sub
jects such as the tariff, the trusts and
conservation, will of themselves re-
move the artificial causes. There will
remain other elements, such as the
tendency to leave the country for the
city, waste, extravaganza, bad system
OF taxation, poor methods of raising
crops and bad business methods in
marketing crops. To remedy these
conditions requires the fullest infor-
nation and based on this information
effective government supervision and
control to remove all the artificial
causes

The Old Parties.
Political parties exist to secure re-
sponsible government and to execute
the will of the people. From these
great tasks, both of the old parties
have turned aside. Instead of instru-
ments to promote the general well
fare. they have become the tools Of
corrupt interests which use them i'm.
partially to serve their selfish purpo.
ses.
Behind the ostensible government
sits enthroned an invisible govern
ment owing no allegiance and acknow-
Lodging no responsibility to the peo-
pie, To destroy this invisible govern
ment, to dissolve the unholy alliance
between corrupt business and corrupt
politics is the first task of the states
manship of the day.
The deliberate betrayal of it's trust
by the republican party and the fatal
incapacity of the democratic party to
deal with the new issues Of the new
time have compelled the people to
forge new instrument of government
through which to give effect to their
will in laws and institutions. Tn
hampered by tradition, interrupted
by power, undismayed by the magni-
tude of the task, the new party offers
itself as an instrument of the people
to sweep away old abuses, to build a
new and nobler commonwealth.

with the people and we hereby bind

and nation to the pledges made here
