mulated at Chicago. | had 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-aiiirmation 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 Populsm
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. am an
American and do not see how l can
honorably do anything but sustain the
President"

merly Democratic member of the leg
from the Democrats for clerk of 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 unde,
certain conditions combinations of
capital should be subjected to legisla-
tive CONTROL

i it was true. The challenge was
promptly taken By Banker Ed Pierce
and Colonel Morton OF Fargo
Charles Meter for twenty-seven

ty."
Adam Schauss, head OF the Adam
Sehauss Manufacturing Co., Toledo
D., who supported Bryan four years
80: Bryan stands for the reopen
-uS 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
hat we stand In danger of militarism
requires better proof than Nj. 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, tim Der
buyer: Il worked several years ago at
the business of buying timber and
could barely make 4 living, but after
Mckinley was elected President and
business began to get better, my sal
AIRY was gradually increased, and now
| 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 NE and l
propose to vote for him"

ocrat, and his three sons, Stanber7y,
Mo: "Not ore Of Bryans 1896 proph-
estes have come true"
Michael Doran, of st. Paul, the
Father of the Minnesota Democ-
racy: why should l support what
they call Democratic ticket. There
is not 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.
l supported Bryan four years ago, but
l am glad he was not elected l 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: Il am a
believer in bimetallism. but Bryan is
a demagogue and is utterly lacking in
the essential qualities of statesman
ship. The anti-imperialist issue is
the yeriest rot"
Nelson ]. Palmer, prominent Demo-
cratic leader, Fredonia. N. Y: Pros
perity"
