Southern people as the agent by which the
institution of African slavery was destroy
ed, and he was assassinated. William
Goebel, in his canvass for the office cf
Governor of Kentucky, antagonized cor
rupt political machine, backed by strong
corporate influence, which led to his being
assassinated The same combination of
influences brought about the death of E.
w. Carmack of Tennessee. The rulers of
the invisible empire have so far succeeded
in keeping w. J. Bryan out of the presi-
dency; and if Thomas jefferson were alive
in this day of corporate power and indu-
ence they would destroy him. There are
very few American statesmen that have
the courage to openly espouse the cause of
the toiling masses against the classes. If
one succeeds in running the gauntlet the
agents of the invisible empire either buy
him. as they did Joe Baily, or kill him, as
they did E. w. Carmack.
Albert Cummins, of Iowa, and Rob
ert Lafollette of Wisconsin, fought the
big railroads and succeeded in break
and Robert Lafollette of Wisconsin, fought
the big railroads and succeeded in break
ing into the u. S. Senate; but they are both
protectionists, consequently are only half
baked champions of the masses. jeff Davis
of Arkansas, fought his way into the U.
S. Senate, but his enemies never lost his
trail. There is not chief executive of any
State in the Union today, that has the
temerity to stand out openly against the
legislation favoring the classes that is
now part of the statute laws or is being
spread upon the statute books of the differ
ent states. Many of them succeed in
"fooling" the people with the kind of dope
handed out by our own Earl Brewer
James X. Vardaman is the only COVER
nor in the late history Of Mississippi whose
sympathies were with the masses, and
stood out openly as their friend against
the powers that be-; and today the sleuths
of this invisible power behind the throne
are shadowing his every f0otstep; and if
they could have succeeded in their eff
forts to get him into series of Joint de-
bates in 1911, it would have been miracle
if he had escaped the knife or bullet at the
hands of some of the bravo's that they
would have placed at his heels.

their rotten political methods in the secret
caucus, and since that time has been indie
fatigable in making other exposures and
in holding up to public gaze the various
traps that have been laid to ensnarc him;
but he has been too wary to be caught,
which has intensified the malignancy Of
his enemies.
Brewers proposition Of forming coali-
ton with Bilbo was an effort to corrupt
and to bly, his splendid talent, which is al
ways the first move made by the corrup-
ZIONIST in politics, and too often succeeds.
But when BiIbo turned down this PROPOSE
ton, the governor began to scheme for his
destruction and every failure to ensnare
him has increased the activity of the char
acter assassin, and if he could be induced
to engage in a series of joint debates he
would never live to finish the campaign.
His enemies will repeat sIanderous state
ment which may be denied and proven to
be untrue, but only stops long enough to
