Inc Democracy wants speakers. 1t
wants speakers from abroad to come
into the state. 1t wants the young men
of Minnesota to take the stump. 1t
wants the means for securing their sery-.
ices. For this purpose it calls for pop
ular subscriptions. There are hundreds
OF able takers ready to give their time
and energies without compensation to
teach the people. But their expenses
must be paid. The Democracy has no
railroad passes to give them. Their
tickets will have to be bought; their
hotel bills will have to be met. 1t is not
fair to ask them to do this themselves.
They are contributing enough when
they devote their days and nights to
the cause.
The Democracy of Minnesota calls on
the generous, loyal and patriotic people
OF the state to make up Speakers,
Fund, to be at the command of the state
central committee, and to be used in
this way. 1t calls OH every one to con-
tribute according to his power 1t asks
for the smallest sums rs we'll as the
largest. 1t calls Oh the Young men as
everybody whose soul can he touched
by tho grandeur of the battle which is
Waging.
There are no rich men TO whom the
party can 20. 1t has to depend OIL the
support of the laborer, of the clerk, of
the farmer. of the small shopkeeper. OH
the simple common people. 1t has to
rely OH the men and the women who
love their country and would do what
they can to serve it; ON the men and the
women who have watched the Career of
GROVER CLEVELAND, and have learned
TO respect and reverence his fearless
ness, his strength and his patriotism.
1t has to rely on the men and women
who would emancipate our state gov
ernment from the control of the money
changers. and put III the governors
chair DANIEL w. LAWYER, who is mo
mans man and wears no mans collar"
To this class the Democracy appeals.
Let each one Of them Send what he can,
% cents. 50 cents. 81. So. $500. Much or
little, it will all count. The receipt Of
each contribution will he acknowledged
in the columns of the GLOBE and taken
charge of by the party's treasurer. Al.
together it will constitute the Speakers
Fund. 1t will be devoted to single
purpose, the purpose of enlightenment
and education. When the campaign is
ended. the servants of the people to
whom its distribution is entrusted will
give an account of their stewardship.
The GLOBE will publish an itemized
otofo hot ln,nx
know to what uses his generosity has
been put. The Democracy wants no
corruption fund to buy voters. 1t asks
only for enough to pay its legitimat,
expenses. Its books will always be open
for inspection. 1t will work openly and
in-the daylight. 1t will win through the.
responsiveness of reason, not through
the power of wealth. 1t will appeal to
mems hearts and minds, not To their
cupidity. Will the common people help
it in its glorious undertaking? -s~+

Sonal efforts and moral SuaSiOn to con-
