The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1924-10-24

When in the development of our
political and industrial life, it becomes
necessary for US to dissolve the poll
teal affiliations we have had IN the
past which deprive us of those rights
and liberties guaranteed US under the
constitution, decent respect to the
opinions of mankind require that we
set forth clearly the reasons which
impel US to organize a new political
party
We hold these tvuths to be self-evi-
dent-that all men are entitled to an
equal opportunity to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness that, to Sc
cure these rights political parties are
organized deriving all of their pow
ers from the consent of the people;
! that whenever these parties becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the
rights of the people to abolish such
i parties, and organize new ones, laying
4 their foundations on such principles
and organizing them in such a way
as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness.
All history and experience teach US
that mankind are more disposed tt
suffer, while evils are siderable, thar
to correct them by abolishing the ole
political parties responsible for sucf
abuses. But when years of abuses
and ,usurpations, pursuing invariabl!
the same end, evinced a design to re
duce them under absolute despOtism
it is their right, it is their duty, t.
abolish such political parties, and t.
provide new guards for their politica
4 security The history Of the presen
political parties, is a history of re
peated injury and disregard for tn
happiness and prosperity of the com
mon people, To prove this let fact
