THE COMMONER
CLUBBING RATE
THE JOURNAL AND MR.. 6RYAN's
PAPER ONE YEAR FOR $3.50.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through
the columns of his paper, The Com
noner, that the principal cause OF
democratic defeat this year was that
the men who secured control OF the
party organization at st. Louis sound
ed a retreat when a charge should
have been ordered all along the line.
He insists that conditions demand
radical action, and that the people
want something definite upon which
they can rely. The Commoner, ne
announces, will carry on campaign
of education, advocating tariff reform,
the overthrow of private monopolies,
labor legislation, municipal ownership
Of public utilities, public ownership
of railroads and telegraph systems,
On income tax, the election OF federal
judges by the people, the election OF
United States senators by popular
vote, direct legislation, and the selee-
tion of postmasters by the people
whom they are TO serve.
1t will be necessary to regain con-
troll of the party organization. To do
this the friends of reform throughout
the entire country must work togeth-
er. A democratic paper Of national
scope offers the best means for car
rying on this work, and The Common
er occupies this field. The campaign
of education and organization which
Mr. Bryan announces will be carried
on through The Commoner will not
only be interesting and instructive,
but every democrat and independent
thinker should receive The Commoner
regularly so as to keep in touch with
the progress the reform forces are
making, and to fortify himself with
facts and arguments to convince his
republican neighbor that the demo-
cratic party offers the surest relief
from class legislation and trust DOM
nation.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted us on his paper enables us to
send you The Commoner and The
Journal both one year for $3.50. Get
your neighbors to join you in circu-
lating democratic literature, and the
election returns in 1908 will not call

The DeSoto County News pays the
following tribute to Governor william
S. Jennings, who retires from once
at noon to-day:
Whatever else may be said of Gov
ernor Jennings the News does not
hesitate to say that Florida has never
had a more progressive and aggres-
sive chief executive. The state has
prospered under his administration
money has poured into the Golfers of
the state treasury and altogether he
has given an example of a business
administration of which his successor
would do well to follow. AS he re-
tires to private life he carries with
him the best wishes of Floridians for
a prosperous and successful business
career.
