band dies. He says. “Sign this. I am going to show you how you will get twice as much money as your husband left you.” She signs it and loses everything. They are like the cooties that nip the soldiers while in the trenches.
 However, 1 don’t intend to associate with either mastodon, second story or peewee financier. I refuse to have anything further to do with any of them during the rest of my life.
 The big financiers know and respect Law­son but the people for whom he is battling don’t quite appreciate him yet. Many people still listen to the prattlers who live off of their fees and dues while enticing them into the financiers’ traps.
 Lawson receives no fees nor dues nor pay of any kind for working for the Direct Credits Society and is willing to sacrifice his life and all his ambitions to just fight for the. rights of your children. He wants to establish economic conditions that will breed love instead of hate among the people.
 The money system belongs to the people and not to financiers. They have gotten control of it surreptitiously. The people must reclaim it and operate it themselves. The constitution gives to the people that power and they must utilize it for the benefit of everybody.

 Some of you have a home that you would like to occupy for the rest of your life, wouldn’t you? But here comes the big brute who says, “Get out of that home, it belongs to the financier.”
 People, don’t go that far. If you are strong now, use the strength that God gave you to protect the feeble old people today. Use that power from the Creator to protect these little babies now.
 I use my strength for the benefit of the people. I stand with God and He gives me extraordinary power. He furnishes me with greater mentality each day. I am in my seventieth year. Where is the twenty-five year peewee financier who could stand up against
