VOICES OF THE PEOPLE.
U. Sem, Sr.-"Both old parties are
The parents OF the trust, only they WORK
In different ways to deceive the people,"
Mrs. Frank Stay-'I am a Midroader
Voters ought not to have the right to
vote If they will not take the time and
trouble to find out for themselves what
men can be depended upon to nomi-
late on the referendum ballots"
John Reagan-"I indorse the Mime
'ota plan of direct nomination. Here is
30 cents, wishing the good cause sue
,ess.''
George W. Green-"Bryan's Chicago
platform might have been good 30 years
ago, but for a nation such as ours has
become it is fallacy, terrible blight
m the outlook, as monstrous In it's re-
dictionary effects as is the present mon
tary policy of the Republican party"
Vote for Barker and Donnelly, our
rue and steadfast candidates. Then
'ou will vote for the Peoples party's !
principles. Even If, in doing so, you
tand alone the soundness and honesty
+ your position is not thereby in the |
east affected. It is each ones individual |
uty, regardless of appearances, to do |
his before an honest habitation can be
uilt for principles. Let us not be dis
outraged because our short lives can
OF accomplish all we wish. Our work |
I'LL live forever and truth, justice and
lercy is sure to triumph over false
ood, injustice cruelty and fusion for
lere party pelf, the bogus coin of the
resent commercial system"
Tom Brenan-"All Democratic pa
ers shall indorse Goebelism and the
epublican papers Taylor. Shall we
ave free ballot-or monarchy?
"Give us Barker, Donnelly and Popu-
SIN. We are tired of the sham fight of
lutocracy with Winchesters and post
ectiOn revolvers."
H. CelOver-"I subscribe to the Simon
IRE, straight and true Populism. / de-
re to support reform party which
eans reform dead sure, whether any
ne in the party ever gets an Office or
ot. do not believe in Democratic re-
'rm, Republican reform, or fusion re-
'rm; but Populist reform does not go
4 inch too far to suit me. I want to
'e the straight Peoples party organic
ion in this state live.
II believe that not a single election
bard could be chosen by the Demo-
attic party in this whole country but
ould stuff the ballot boxes with
