TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
Democratic Congressional Committee Appeals
For Popular Subscriptions.

To ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:-If
there ever was time in the history OF
the Democratic party for the mani
festation OF loyalty and patriotism on
the part OF its members, it is right
now.
If we are to win victory and elect a
president two years hence, we must
first elect House of Representatives
this fall. A Democratic House can
and will investigate every department
of the Government. With all of them
honeycombed by graft, the edges of
which, only, have been touched by re-
cent exposure and prosecutions, there
will he revelation Of rotten0ess that
will astound the country, and create a
demand for a Democratic Administra.
ton to clean the Government work.
shop.
To win the House we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get out
our vote. We have no protected mon
opolies from which TO draw to fill our
Golfers, as they do those of the Repub-
lican party. We must, therefore, ap-
peal to loyal Democrats for contribu-
tions.
Will you send US 81 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies
of our campaign literature issued by
the Committee. You will have the
thanks of the entire Democratic party
for your favorable response to our re-
quest.
Address all remittances to

authority on the subject of fruit and
who has had many years experience in
the nursery business as we'll as in the
growing of fruit. Hear him:
"When | was on my fruit ranch last
week | met Mr.. LOOMS, who is one of
tho firm of E. P. Loomis g. Co., Of
$500 Barkley ST., New York. The
house which he represents was founded
in New York by his father in 1863,
hence Mr.. LOOMS has been brought up
in the business. He wants forty or
fifty carloads of strictly fancy apples
for their trade. He said that they
could handle but four of our apples,
these being the Yellow Newtown,
Esopus ISpitzenberg), Arkansas Black
and Winesap. He says that our iona
thans are too soft and that he can get
better keeping Jonathans in Colorado
| have no doubt but this is so, for the
higher up you can grow this apple the
better it keeps. Those who are run
ming wild on the Jonathan would do
we'll to make a.note of this fact. There
are some other facts l wish to call at
tention to. l have said again and
again that the Arkansas Black was
bound to come to the front. Ten years
ago the American Pathological Society
refused to put this apple on the trial
list. know this to be so, for was
member of the Washington committee
ADD called attention in my report to
the omission, but no attention was paid
TO my recommendation. Last year a
man from New York City wanted to
buy our Arkansas Black apples and
now another man from that city is
looking for this apple.
Another fact I wish to mention and
that IS, If we raise such apples as the
four varieties named above we will
never lack for a market. This year
there is a big crop of apples in the
Mississippi valley, notably in Illinois,
Montana, Arkansas and Kansas, and
yet here is man away out on the Pa.
ctic coast hunting up apples for the
New York trade, Why: No such
apples can be bought in the Mississippi
pi valley. l know this sounds like
Boosting, but it is simply the naked
truth. Evidence accumulates going to
to show that in tie inter.mountain
valleys and on the Pacific slope we can
raise a grade Of apples that cannot be
equaled anywhere else in the world.
We ship some of our apples every
year across the continent and across
the Atlantic ocean to Liverpool sad
