help of the publications, it has also been possible to bring new teachings to the campaign, using, instead of long-read magazines, bulletins of a few pages, with simple instructions and practices written in a style completely within the reach of our rural inhabitants.

Batlle kept a handwritten list of how the Senators stood on the linked issues of the eight - hour day and the Colegiado .
