Democratic Greed Fixed

Editor Independent: You will find
inclosed my vote for the populists to-
maintain their organization-at least
for the present | know ! speak TACT
and true and hearty sentiment of the
great mass of Independent political re-
formers-and they are legion-when |
say that they want to get together and
pull together and the sooner the pres
ent chaos is Strengthened out the get
ter. Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly the
most brilliant, indomitable leader and
sts tegnan on the globe today, and The
brave, frank, sincere and honest Wat
son is q close second. The eyes of the
whole nation are looking on Bryan,
the Jefferscn and Lincoln reform ers,
with hope, ready, eagerly and anxious
ly waiting to follow him if he will
cut the democratic party loose from
plutocracy, while on the other hand the
benefciaries of special privileges revel7
Ing in their ill-gotten gains are look
ing on with amazement and fear lest
their scrceries will cease to deceive the
people-the great producing masses
who if united in the next election, will
sweep the country. Yes the knees Of
mammon and greed are knocking to-
gother and they are trembling in their
boots. I would suggest that the popu-
list party hold their organization until
Mr.. Bryan reorganizeS the democratic
party and drives the last vestige OF
plutocracy out of it; If he can, and II
he fails in this, the voters will flock
not by thousand, but Dy millions to the
peoples party, but if he Bryan is
successful then it viii! be time for the
populists to reinforce him and storm
the citadel of plutocracy and blot il
out in this "land of the free and home
of the brave" Let me say to Mr.. Bry-
an through The Independent, not tC
wait until tie next election to re0r-
ganize the democratic PARTY, but go at

The Newark journal., 1904-05-27

The editor spent Friday and
Saturday in St. Louis on business,
and while there took advantage of
the opportunity to spend day
out on the Worlds Fair grounds.
We visited the administration
building, went down the Pike and
over to the Arkansas building, but,
having only Il short time to spend
on the grounds, saw but little of
the great fair. Many of the states
have larger and more costlier
buildings than Arkansas, but few
of them surpass US in the wealth
and variety of exhibits displayed.
The mineral resources of Arkan-
sas are something wonderful and
the states mineral and fruit dis
plays are the subjects of much
comment. We noticed, also, on a
table set aside for the purpose, a
nice lot of little books and pamph-
lets, gotten out by the Iron Noun
tain route, telling of the great
mineral and agricultural wealth of
Arkansas, and giving much valua-
bic information concerning the
state. This big railroad system is
doing great work in advertising
the vast resources of Arkansas and
our people should appreciate the
work it is doing for the advance
ment and development of our
great state.
