Manipulation of the Range


next! Democracy means something, or
rather under the rule OF capitalists, it
means nothing. Is il possible that the
people are going to stand quiet and see
the last morsel of the God given right
swiped from them and thea ask us for
socialism, Are you Socialists, when you
get in power, going to take the land away
from us?" My God, people, what is
Democracyf Have you read the Kent
RANGE Billr And can you understand the
meaning OF il after you do read it, and did
you vote for it when you voted the Capi-
talists ticket? Go to your Capitalists
vote for profit, then ask your self if this
abominabe Bill would ever have been
put before Congress, but for profit. Don't
the range as it is now belong to the peo-
Pile? Then, why vote it into a few elect.
those who swiped some surplus values off
some poor women and children, little by
little into the capitalists sweat shops. Now
get your Lickspittle' Kent and others OF
your Representatives to make law for
you SO that the stockyards pet can swipe
enough by law to buy up the range. And
if you would read the Bill, you will find
out that after the law is put in operation
if you turn a COW out on the range, you
are liable to a damage suit, and ;f you do
it the second time, you are liable to fine
of $40 to $1,000 and one year imprison.
ment. Let me ask you Capitalist voters,
are you really going to stand quietly by
and see this grab made, and still call it
Democracyp Again what is democracy?
Isn't Democracy the voice of the people?
Then after the control Of the range is
placed in the hands of the Secretary of
Agriculture, won't it be Democracy for
al of us voting Democrats. Wake up,
you sleeping would be Democrats, 10 to
your Dictionary, see the meaning OF the
word, Democrat. Then If you who yet
claim to have Representatives in the
House of Miss.Representatives send them
petition stating your wishes. As for my
self, have no Representative there, only
hope to have one after the next election.
Still | wrote Taylor a letter concerning
this Bill and told him what thought but,
pshaw. If anyone reads this bill and don't
see it as | have, show me, but still if il
suits you vote her straight. After YOU
carefully read the Kent range bill please
compare the identity OF it to the Dick
military bill. Remember the people once
had the right to declare war, now the
dear president has the sole right to call
war and to call every man over eighteen
and under forty-fve years of age and every
dollar available in every state. Demo.
cracy, ha. Suppose you people lay off
day, who think you vote democratic, and
let your brain work a hit, otherwise Dick
and Kent and their henchmen, backed I'D
by your representatives, may pretty soon
&obble all the democracy and you can get
off the earth. Now my brothers, who
we're jsspers enough to elect such mis-.
representatives, you better get busy if you
want any benefit hereafter from the old
standby OF this country, the RANGE; God
gave it to the Indians, as l understood,
then the white man wanted it and took It
by might. Now the man with the surplus
value is about to get it by law, and we
make the laws; therefore make no apoI-
osy for calling you jaspers.
Yours very respectfully,
Nj. M. BROWN.
