HOW TO DO IT!
n LIB e RIAL OF FE r.
Six Copies of The Representative
for Three Months for One
Dollar.

You want to see the Populists carr
Minnesota next year. OF course yot
do. But you despair some times. Lee
us look at it.
How did the vote stand on governor
last year: Here are the figures as they
APP ear n the Blue Book:
Ne sons vote .................. II T. VI.
BeckerS vote. .............. %, oc1
owens vote. c'.oV
Remember that in four years the
Populist vote had risen from nothing
to 81 800. Suppose each Populist voter
secures one convert before November,
1885, and that this increase is drawn
in proportion to their numbers equally
from the two old parties: that is, we
will say, two-thirds from the Republi-
can and onc-third from the Democrat
ic forces; then the vote would stand
in 1896:
Republican vote. ~. 3ol
Democratic vote. 4,2So
POpulist vote. ................. l.o, iSo
They told me in Montana that the
cattle raiSers al first aughtered great
numbers of wolves. by poisoning the
carcasses of dead calves, etc. But in a
little while the wolves "got on to it, >
and would not touch carcass how
ever cunningly inlaid with strychnine.
Surely the old party men Of Minnesota
have as much sense as Montana
wolves. A continuation Of 40 cent
wheat is a great eye-opcner. II is a
logician and an orator. Demosthenes
is nothing to it. All the ld-party
promises have been proved to be lies
Times are as hard as ever in the midst
ground. Knute humbugged them to
the top of their bent last year; but
knute has crawled into his hole, land
u golden hole it is), and dragged the
hole in after him. 1t is mis- interest
that the G. O. p. should realize that
it is powerless without him as can
didate. From every quarter we get
the same report:-that. the converts
are flocking in not singly but in
couples, in squads, in regiments. in
brigades. The Democrats feel like
the famous hard shell preacher. IA
strange woman" said he, 'took in
your beloved pastor, in New Orleans,
to the tune of two dollars and seventy
five cents,-but she can't do it again!
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.'
They can't play the Becker game
again,-Hallelujah
The Democrats are asking them
selves. all over the prairies and in the
woods:-"We know what Becker got
for reducing the Democratic vote
from 100000 cast for Lawler in 1892 to
1854, cast for himself in 1S94.-but
What did WE get' Where did WE come
in, an these money-shines?" And echo
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
But if each Populist will convert
one old party voter to the faith we
need not care how the Democracy
vote;-we would have nearly 100000
plurality over the highest competitor,
and 81, al majority over both united.
Well how are you going to get that
convert? Pick out neighbor and
lend him Populist newspapers and
books until he gets his eyes open.
Work on him quietly all winter.
And to help along the good work, we
will make this offer. Send mS dollar
and re aUW send THE REPRESENTATIVE
for three months to SIX parties to be named
By you.
lfyou can't spare the dollar then
club with two or three others and make
it up; pick out intelligent, reasonable
men, and not unmitigated fools, to
send the papers to; and then notify
them what you have done, so that
they will not reject the copies when
sent to them.
Tnts arW make the papers cost less than
II cents each for three n1OnthS;-ABOUT II
CENTS A WEEK.
You can surely afford to invest d ol-
lar in this way to help save the coun-
try for your posterity. But if you are
too poor to give any financial aid, and
we know how desperate is the condi-
tion Of many of our good friends.-
then lend yo,w copy Of THE REPREsEN-
TATIvE around aatH 1t Is acO,n ont.
The PluLOcratS are working, with
the industry Of the imps of Sheol, to
destroy liberty and enslaye you. Are
you not willing to put in few days
work to defeat them? You are the
spoil Of the mighty game.
For Gods sake, for your children's
sake, for liberty's sake, for the coun-
try's sake, take oil your coat and 90 to
work.
