IL Is an hour when the people may speak

With this IN view, we offer to the forth
coming conventions and TO the people, the
name Of a man for the presidency OF the
United states whose life In public and IN

virtues which adorned the days and the
deeds of the earlier time of this republic;
return to which virtues is requisite for
the prosperity and contentment of the
people, and the perpetuity and command

That man is Henry M. Teller--a man Of
the people and for the people. He IS of no
section. His experience and service, his de-
Votion to the common justice and the COM
mon cause OF his fellow-citizens has been
as wide as the country, We believe that
the people OF the United States have had
him In their hearts as he had their In
terests In his purpose through all the work
Of an exalted life.

etary reform that we present this man to
the people II Is true. he. has waged a
mighty war for the RESTORATION OF the

mission to the world.
