writes as follows:
The time has come when all men
who favor free coinage Of silver, re
gardless Of party or party ties, should

The last presidential campaign was
II uch like the one of 1924, when the
Id Hero Jackson was defeated, and /
mink the one OF 1900 will in many re-
poets remind US of the great fight OF
# 1923, when under the same issues Of
# 1924 Jackson was triumphantly
lected to the white house, and re-
lected in 1892. The progress in 1896
vas greater than in 1924. And since
firmly believe that the victory Of
900 will be far greater and Of
rander import to the people of this
ountry, than was the victory of Jack
On in 1923.
Ourswill be victoty Of over fraud,
intimidation, victory of
he people over Clevelandism, Hanna
