10 an unusually large demand for demo'
cratic documents from all parts Of the
country. They cover . wide variety, OF
topics, although the greatest demand al
present is for speeches relating to the tariff
question. In districts whore there 10 . largs

great prominence a. Col. Henderson, who
has been associated with Weaver in politi-
cal fights in Iowa. Throughout the south
there 10 also great demand for literature on
the subject OF federal elections and thu
force bill. In fact, many copies of the
