 Another Gold Brick
 Another move the republicans made was to put up some cash for the southern BhAre.croppers' movement. These landless farm CTS, they figured, could help puncture the democratic claim of helping the farmer.
 But when c g,O,p. Intermediary approached Gardner Jackson, guiding spirit of the Share-crop. pers, he was turned down.

But this year the great pool of Detroit auto workers, backbone of CouSei1s' strength, has fiocked into the democratic column.
