tenets of our glorious Constitu-

man Murray Vandiver, of the
State Central Committee. He
also asks for contributions for the

"TO the Democrats of Maryland:
Nominations of candidates for
the offices of President and Vice.

political parties, and it therefore
becomes necessary for the Demo.
Gratis, and all others who will ioin
us III the coming campaign, to or
ganize for the contest, which is
probably more important and will
likely be more far. reaching in
its results than any campaign
since 1860.
"The Democratic party,
through its representatives as
sembled in National Convention
at Kansas City on July 4, has de-
clared that the burning issue of
Imperialism, growing out of the
Spanish War, involves the very
existence of the republic and the
destruction of our free institu-
tons. We regard it as the para.
mount issue of the campaign.
"UpOn this issue the contest
will be waged. Difference of
opinion in regard to the details
of policies affecting our internal
government can and will be toler.
ated. But we call upon all who
stand with us upon this para
mount issue to take active part in
organizing the forces which will
combat Imperialism and mill
tarism.
ORGANIZE AND CONTRIBUTE.
"To this end we frankly say to
all those who will labor with us
in this contest that our main re-
lance for success must be upon
the active support of the individ.
ual voter and the perfect organi-
cation that must be made in each
voting precinct in the State.
We call upon all patriotic Mary.
landers who side with us in this
great fight for constitutional gov
ernment TO contribute cheerfully
according to their means to the
support of our organization in
their respective precincts. The
members of the State Central
Committee for each county and
legislative district of Baltimore
City, the local committees in the
city of Baltimore, together with
others whom we shall select, are
authorized and requested to or.
ganize clubs in each precinct and
invite all to join us who oppose
imperialism and despOtism.
When You have so organized re-
port to the Chairman of the
State Central Committee the
names of the officers of your asso.
citation, with their addresses, and
as far as practicable, the names
and postoffice addresses of the
members. Let this be done in
every voting precinct in Mary.

EVERY Democrat in the county
should read Bryan's speech and see
that their Republican friends read it
also. This is not only fight of Demo-
Gratis against Republicans, but one of
right against might, humanity against
greed and the Republic against the
Empire.
