Plans That Have Proven % Successful
in Holt County
During the past week The Indepen-
dent has received more encouraging
letters, letters full of fight. and en-
tkuSiaSm. than in any previous week
il. its history. The Old Guard have
responded generously with words Of
cheer from almost every state and
territory in the Union. They all real
ize the need for trustworthy and
fearless press through which to teach
the people. For fifteen years The In
dependent has preached the doctrines
of populism and battled for the peo-
Pies cause. Thanks to the loyal sup
port of the Old Guard, it's circulation
has grown steadily until today it has
long lists Of subscribers in every state
and territory and in almost every
county in the United States All are
al work pushing it's circulation into
every locality and helping to increase
it's influence and the good it can do.
State and county committees realize
the value of The Independent as an
educator and in many localities have
agents at work extending it's cireula-
ton. The surest way to make votes
for any. individual candidate or for
any county or state ticket is to make
converts to populism. They can be
depended upon to vote the entire tick
et-for every individual candidate
upon 1t. The candidate who makes
the still hunt" and depends upon
the quiet support of his republican
friends usually gets quietly defeated.
The candidate who is too cowardly to
proclaim the doctrines of his party
through the press, from the rostrum
and the housetops, il necessary, is too
ccwardly to enforce the party prin-
ciples il elected. He is a weakling. a
straddler, cOld-footed, and deserves to
be defeated
In Holt county the circulation of
The Independent has been pushed
steadily until it is to be found in the
majority of homes in the county. The
result is that Holt county has full
set Of populist officials. The county's
Affairs are administered more econom-
lcally and business-like than ever be-
fore. To make sure of the result this
fall, Hon. M. F. Harrington of O'Neill
curing the past week sent in club of
% new subscribers. His letter send
Ing them was as follows:
Well, Frank, here's a starter.
HARRINGTON"
A check for STATS was enclosed.
Other counties would do we'll to follow
the Holt county example. The special
rate for educational subscriptions
months for rs cents-is low enough
TO put the paper within the reach of
everyone.
