General Horatio C. King, New York
former law partner of David 3. Hill:
-Four years ago, with large num-
Der of Democrats throughout the coun.
try, l revolted from the platform for
mulated at Chicago. had a fond hope
that possibly they might come back
to reason and true Democracy, but the
reiteration of the same sentiments at
Kansas City, the re-affirmation Of the
same doctrines, the addition of worse
one, that is, to haul down the Amer
lean flag in the Philippines, has con-
WINGED me that Organism is Populism
run mad. l am amazed that any por-
ton of my fellow Democrats Of the old
period should, for the sake Of this
bugaboo of Imperialism, undertake to
crawl back into the so-called Demo
cratic party"
John Kuykendall, Denver, Colo:
The people OF this country almost
unanimously urged the President to
engage in the recent war. l am an
American and l do not see how I can
hcnorably do anything but sustain the
President"
w. H. Kelley, Cheyenne, Wyo., for
merly Democratic member Of the leg
islature, has declared a nomination
from the Democrats for clerk of the
district court saying: ut is for the
greatest good of the country that
President Mckinley be reelected. The
country has prospered. l am not in
sympathy with the position taken by
the Democratic party on the question
Of expansion. Both of the parties are
sincere in the statements that under
certain conditions combinations OF
capital should be subjected to legisla-
tive control
Henry Garvin of Kever, Wells coun-
ty, N. D.: Wrote letter to the Fargo
Forum, challenging a statement that
farm loans could be secured at 6 per
cent, and agreed to vote for Mckinley
if it was true. The challenge was
promptly taken by Banker Ed Pierce
and Colonel Morton of Fargo
Charles Meter, for twenty-seven
years local agent Of the American Ex-
press Company, Pana, ILL.,: prosper
ity."
Adam Schauss, head of the Adam
5chauss Manufacturing Co., Toledo,
D., who supported Bryan four years
ago: Bryan stands for the reopen
ing of the disturbing money question.
The GRIP of imperialism finds no echo.
It is too silly dodge to catch the peo-
pie with. To make us Germans believe
that we stand in danger Of militarism
requires better proof than Mr.. Bryan's
word"
Charles O. Summers, blacksmith,
1r,1. o-n
enough for me and want them to con-
tinue So am making good money and
am satisfied"
Elmer<Thomas, Lynn, Ind, timber
buyer: II worked several years ago at
the business of buying timber, and
could barely make living. but after
Mckinley was elected President and
business began to get better, my sal
airy was gradually increased, and now
I am making plenty of money. Since
McKinley's election l have bought a
good piece of property and have it
paid for and money in the bank Nc
Kinley is good enough for me and
propose to vote for him"
Isson G.. Gillett, an old-time Dem
ocrat, and his three sons, Stanberry,
Mo-: mot one Of Bryan's 1896 proph-
estes have come true"
Michael Doran, of st. Paul, the
Father of the Minnesota Democ-
racy: "Why should I support what
they call Democratic ticket. There
is not a Democrat upon it. l am for
progression and prosperity, and l am
satisfied with the present national ad-
ministration. Bryan offers US nothing
that he was not proclaiming in 1896.
He presents no new arguments. He is
tearing down instead of building up.
I supported Bryan four years ago, but
I am glad he was not elected. / shall
do some hard work for Mckinley and
the Republican state ticket, for l do
not want this country to get into the
hands Of Knockers
Col. C. H. Murray, Elkhart, Ind, a
prominent Grand Army man: II am a
believer in bimetalhsm, but Bryan is
a demagogue and is utterly lacking in
the essential qualities Of statesman
ship. The 'anti-imperialist issue is
the veriest rot"
Nelson ]. Palmer, prominent Demo-
cratic leader, Fredonia, N. Y: Pros
perity.".
