THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. TOM OABTER. The farmers of Burt county, Ne braska, have been refreshing their memories concerning ono Tom Carter, formerly a swindling book agent, but now chairman of the republican na tional committee. Some ten years or more ago Mr. Carter dropped down into Burt county, and created a regular craze over a book called "Foot Prints of Time" which ho was selling. As general agent, ho sold ter ritory in all part of the United States, to ambitious would-bo agents taking farms, or good and chattels of any des cription in return. He was then a dem ocrat. Since Ihea ho ha? changed his politics, but his business is substantially the same, i. c., gulling and robbing the people. ' The republicans doubtless are very much ashamed of their chairman, but then they had to have somebody you know, and no one else would undertake the job. So Tom CarLer, the swindl ing book agent, must be swallowed. The people's party representatives n congress must not be surprised to nd large sums of money being used to prevent their re-election. The lords of Wall street cannot afford to have hese brave, untrammeled men re turned to congress. They are trouble some to the capitalists of America and urope and must be defeated, if money can bring defeat. Will the people bo bought with a price? Not many cf ,hem. The rank and file cannot be ;ouchcd. Here and there a "leader" ill succumb to the temptation. But the' common people cannot be bought. iUOSb Ol lliem DilVU lllLie yvculu imt they have honesty and honor which the trold of Wall street cannot toucn. They are "needy but they are not for sale. Herein lies the hope of the peo ple's party. The people's party people of Tennes see are wonderfully active and enthusi astic. They talk confidently about electing a lot of men to office, a govern or among them perhaps. One of the best songs wo have for campaign purposes is "The Alarm 138at." It is the trumpet call to action, and will arouse intense enthusiasm. See price in our advertisement of cam paign music in this issue.
