YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT

and, OF course, want q democratic
newspaper. THE CHICAGO DIS
PATCH Is the Great Democratic
Weekly Newspaper of the Country.
1t advocates the readoption of the
platform and the denomination OF
William Jennings BRYAN.
There has never been q political
campaign that will equal in import
ance that of the one to be fought
next year. The republican party.
backed by the money power Of this
country and Europe, is alert and ap-
gressive. Flushed with the victory OF
three years ago il will seek by every
means in its power to maintain its
supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
Ihey must wage an uneeasing war
upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of a good
sound democratic newspaper. The
publisher of THE CHICAGO DISPATCH
will send TO every new subscriber for
three months copy of The CHICAGO
DISPATCH for ten cents. II you are
not already taking this great politi-
cal weekly, send in ten cents at once.
You should not only do this yourself.
but you should induce all yeur friends
70 join with you. By a little effort
you can easily raise a club Of ten or
Z wenty subscribers.
