To the Democratic Clubs. Societies and
associations of the United States:

This is field of patriotic endeayor in
which every citizen of every stale and
territory can be reasonably expected to
take his place. Patriotism can accom-
pliSh little unless it is active brave and
practical. The far reaching questions
which confront the American people to-
day-iSSueS which involYe our form of
government and principles upon which it
mas thus FAR securely rested-sh0uld i'm
pei every citizen to become a politician
IN his own right. The government be-
longs to the people, and the people them
selves must defend it when it is in
danger.
The Democratic party is opposed to thu
establishment of independent colonies
under the American flag, is pledged to in
crease warfare against trusts and every
form of private monopoly. The Kansas
City pla tform has arrayed. against the
Democracy the combined power of those
who profit by tniquitous laws, government
faVofttism and perversions of the consti-
tuition of the United States. A vast cor

Republican party, whose greed is greater

just legislation, and an impartial adj
ministration of the laws. Unless the
control of the government and Its poli-
cies are to be determined by the corrupt
use of money the people must be awaken@

pie are in earnest. All Democratic state
and local committees are requested to
see to it that no precinct shall be without
Democratic club. Time presses and
there should be no delay. The enemy is
powerful, Vigilant and active. A club
organized now would be more effective
than club organized next week.
1t is important that every Democratic
organization in the country should Join

clubs headquarters No. 1870 Broadway

at indianapolis. It is especially in-
portant that the number of clubs should
be greatly increased before the conven-

In Democratic principles, regardless OF
party name or past affiliations; ions
