LET THE People RULE
APPEAL TO DEMOCRAT
For Bryan and Kern Campaign
Fund, from the Democratic
National Committee.

To r. S. Turk, Editor of the Stauntor
SPECTATORS:
! Dear Sir:-There are no secrets in this
Campaign. Strictly practicing what
he breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not wiz
victory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
| Not dollar is to be accepted which
requires any promise, either express OF
implied, other than for honest, impair
tial government.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
| House absolutely free from entangling
alliances, free to serve all classes Of
honest citizens alike, or he will not en-
ter it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The cam
paign of Bryan and Kern must be con-
Quoted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want public
servants who will serve their interests.
Special interests and favored classes,
purchasing favors in the past with mil
lions contributed to control elections,
stand ready to give millions more for
continued favors But that class never
gives dollar unless it buys pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4th,
1909, 'Let the People Rule.
This can come only if the people pay
their own bills, and control their own
elections
"Beware of the Trusts bearing gifts. !"
That policy of the favored few buy
ing a mortgage on the Government
meant that the candidate for President
knew few people only in an entire
State
Bryan says, ave will take the cause
of Peoples Rule home to the people in
every county,"
You can serve the grand cause of pop
ular government through the columns
of your paper. 1t reaches the fireside
of the patriot who loves his country for
his country's good; as distinguished
from the greedy possessor of swollen
fortunes who loves his country only for
his country's goods.
Please carry this letter in Bold Type
at the masthead of your paper, asking
every one who favors Government by
the people to pay you, at once, as many
dollars as he can spare to aid the Cam
paign for Bryan, Kern and Peoples
Rule. You forward these gifts of hon
est hearts and homes every week to the
Treasurer of the Democratic National
Committee, with the name of each con-
tributor and amounts given. The
Treasurer will forward you certificate
like the copy enclosed for each one,
asking you to deliver these certificates.
Once more, you should be a part of
the Great Organization bearing the
Lamp Of Light to every nook and corn
er of Free America.
Our Country is for the People; its
Government must be by the People.
Sincerely,
NORMAN E. MACK, Chairman
Democratic National Committee.
NJ. c. WETMORE, Chairman
National Finance Committee.

Joseph Kings "East Lynne. "

EAST Lynne" is an old play, but it
is one of the best. Joseph Kings compa-
ny will appear at the Beverly Theatre
on Thursday, Oct 18th, and a fine per-
formance is assured. The story of
| "East Lynne is so familiar it seems
almost superhuous to attempt any out
line of it, but paragraph or two in
that direction may not be a miss.
Lady Isabelle is married to Archi-
| bald Carlyle, and though in love with
her husband, is insanely and unjustly
jealous of Barbara Hare, a family friend
and lifelong acquaintance of Archi-
bald. Her jealousy is famed into
hatred by a designing villain, Sir
Francis Levison, and she, after several
years of happy married life, is induced
to leave her husband through the false
| representatives of Levison. Deserted
by the destroyer of her peace, she is
left alone to the mercy of the world
Miserable and remorseful she gains en-
trance into her former husband s home
in the guise OF a French governess and
is enabled to see and be with her chill
dren, although unable to re-establish
herself as his wife, for, on her deser-
ton, Archibald had married Barbara
Hare. She finds some solace and COM
fort, however, in the care of her chill
dren. The death of her eldest, how
ever undermines her own health, and
finding herself at deaths door, she
calls for her former husband, discloses
her indemnity, and with his forgiveness
passes into the great beyond.

POLICE DOG KENNELS OPEN
South Orange Canine Members of Force
in New Quarters.

The police dogs of South Orange had
a powwow in their new quarters, which
they entered for the first time yester-
day afternoon. The kennel is steam
heated and was as warm as toast when
the reception began with Rover, Po-
liceman John Mattle's dog, as host.
The beds for each dog are made of
soft s~haVings and each bed is separa-
ted from the others by a. partition.
Above the beds are places for the
blankets, which are to be made from a
pattern secured by Rowland ID. Perrine.
chairman of the South Orange police
committee, from the chief of police of
Client, Belgium.
The dogs will be trained to come out
from the kennel when a bell rings.
The building as now arranged can ac-
commodate five dogs. with room for
fifteen more stalls.
The kennel was modelled from plans
drawn by Mr.. Perrine and is an addi-
ton to the west side of the police sta
ton. Plans are being considered, it is
said, for the construction of a pool in
the jailyard for the use of the CANNES
in hot weather.
The policemen will now be required
to place their dogs in the kennel after
the night's\work is over. A hot break
fast Will then ,be cooked on a gas
range, which is stationed in the kennel,
and fed to the police dogs.
After the meal is over the kennels
will be darkened and the dogs induced
to sleep.
