out investigating the aims of its domi-
mating spirit, or where the League

A Trick To Make Socialists
The plan is to first fool the peoDls
into voting for national, state or MT
nicipal ownership of these important
factors in the economic life of the ma
ton, and then to change banking and
manufacturing to public ownership,
and the Socialist Party mould then
announce itself.
This process of camouflaging the
real motive behind the effort is evil
IDENTIFY chosen because the socialists
well knew that their sophistries and
generalities would not find among the
people Of Georgia enough disordered
brains to form the nucleus for an eff
fective political machine but with the
cunning Of their kind they have
branded their effort the Municipal
League of Georgia and committed its
activities to Messrs. Key, Jackson and
Eagan.
Lenine and Trotsky learned THAR
esson from the same school.
