General Horatio C. King, New York,
former law partner Of David B. Hill:
-Four years ago, with a large num-
Der Of Democrats throughout the coun-
try, I sreVolted from the platform for
mulated at Chicago. | had a fond hope
that possibly they might come back
to reason and true Democracy, but the
r~eiteration of the same sentiments at
Kansas City, the re-attirmation Of the
same doctrines, the addition of a 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" e
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 / do not see how / can
honorably 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: 1T is for the
greatest good Of the country, that
President Mckinley be reelected. The
country has %prospered. I 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 a letter to the Fargo
Forum, challenging a statement that
farm loans could be secured at 6 pei
cent, and agreed to vote for Mckinley
il 1t was true. The challenge was
promptly taken by Banker Ed Pierce
and Colonel Morton of Fargo"

Adam schauss, head of the Adam
Schauss Manufacturing Co., Toledo
o., who supported Bryan four years
ago: Bryan stands for the reopen
ing of the disturbing money question
The GRIP of Imperialism finds no echo
1t is too silly a dodge to catch the peo-
pie with. To make us Germans believe
that we stand in dangereof militarism
requires better proof than Mr.. Bryan's
word"
Charles o. Summers, blacksmith
Winchester, Ind: Times are good
enough for me and want them to con
tinue SO, / am making good money and
am satisfied"
Elmer Thomas, Lynn, Ind, timber
buyer: 81 worked several years ago al
the business of buying timber, and
could barely make a living, but after
Mckinley was elected President an6
business began to get better, my sal
airy was gradually increased, and now
I am making plenty Of money. Since
McKinley's election I have bought q
good piece Of property and have il
paid for and money in the bank. Nc.
klnley Is good enough for me and
propose to vote for him."

ocrat, and his three sons, Stanberry
Mo-: mot n Of Bryan's 1896 proph.
estes have come true"
Michael Doran, of st. Paul, tn,
Father Of the Minnesota Democ
racy: why should I support what
they call a Democratic ticket. Their,
is not a Democrat upon 1t. I am fol
progression and prosperity, and j an
satisfied with the present national ad
m~inistration. Bryan offers us nothin.
that he was not proclaiming in 1896
He presents no new arguments. He ii
tearing down instead Of building up
I supported Bryan four years ago, bu
I am glad he was not elected. I shall
do some hard work for Mckinley ant
the Republican state ticket, for / d.
not want this country to get into thu
Hands of knockers"
Col. G. H. Murray. Elkhart, Ind,
prominent Grand Army man: Il am /;
believer in bimetallism, but Bryan il
a demagogue and is utterly lacking ii
the essential qualities of statesman
ship. The .anti-imperialist issue il
the veriest rot"
