POLLING DAY.
i i; j BOLL CALL. Thej; are slaves who will not choose, hatred-suffering and abuse. Bather .than in silence shring from the truth they needs must think. —Russell Lowell. Hosts of night'■with banners waving, Striving heroes bent on saving— The feared or truckler-slaveling! Self and plunder—shouts my neighbour; Damn the worth of Love and Labour, Justice cither! Crafty scheming, sad ones dreaming, All the world with sorrow teeming; Act and pray! Hope for aye! .Cast a fearless Vote to-day. Oh, my sister, oh, my brother! Manhood, Freedom, Truth another! Shall you let them smother? Honest toiler, earnest doubter, Foarless both of knave and flouter, -'ln" or "Outer." May she lead you still who freed you! "Honour-bright" to-day who needs you — Act and pray,! Hope for aye! Cast a fearless Vote to-day. You that have a truth to utter, Speak it in no secret mutter, In fea* of "bread and butter": For those whose soul for Freedom smarted, They the mocked, the Great Departed, Bo true-hearted! For visions splendid, home and kindred, Love and Labour never ended: Act and piny! Hope for aye! ' Cast a fearless Vote -to-day. EVELYN MAODOXALD. •
