a party exercises great influence in the
selection of national officers, from the
president down to the village postmas-
ter. A political party cannot, in the
nature of things, remain true to any
other source than that from which it
derives its support. Whenever a ma
tional committee, through some secret
and unseen agency, collects large sums
Of campaign funds, then it is sure that
thar party is mortgaged to those who
contribute such funds. In fact, such a
party is sure to pass laws giving to
the monopolists and trusts who
furnish these campaign funds such
special provisions as will enable
them to receive back the amount
of their contributions When con-
tributions TO campaign funds come
from such sources they do not
come as a gift, but as an investment,
upon which they expect a return of a
hundred fold.
If this were not so, the trusts and
monopoiists would not throw their
money away in campaigns; therefore,
the people must contribute the neces-
sary funds for some political party dur
ing the campaign in order 10 have that
party to guard their interests after
election. If the Peoples party is placed
in power it will serve the people; and
to be left free to do this, your national
committee cannot and will not accept
contributions from the monopolists who
seek special laws to enable them to
PREY UPON THE PEOPLE.
The Peoples party proceeds from the
people, and is for the people, and must
receive its support from the people di-
rect in the form of small contributions
from the individual voter Such small
contributions from the individual vo-
tiers of any political party would fur
nish an abundant campaign fund for
all legitimate purposes and enable the
party receiving it to successfully COM
pete with any corrupt organization of
bankers, corpOrationiStS and Venal pol
iticians.
Therefore, in behalf of the people of
the United States, who produce wealth
and pay taxes the Peoples party ma
tonal committee appeals to all who
are able and willing to do so, to con-
tribute the sum of one dollar to our
national campaign fund A prompt
response is urgently requested to en-
able US to prosecute a vigorous cam
paign in
