PEOPLES PARTY NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.
Office Of Secretary.

Abiline, Texas, March 20, 1908
To the Populists of Texas:
To defray the expenses of a full delegation
from Texas to our National Convention to
convene in st. Louis, Mo-, April 2, will re-
quire very nearly if not quite two thousand
dollars at the average rate of about forty-fve
dollars per delegate. The cost to those who
are at the longer distances from ST. Louis will
run from ffty-fve to sixty-ive dollars EACH
Realizing that it is asking too much of our
delegates that they will give their time and
labors to our cause and also pay all their ex-
penses, State Chairman J. M. Mallett has
called on you to contribute each one small
sum, to be used in defraying such expenses in
whole or in part, and at his request I have
been assisting him in the matter. He and the
other members of the delegation will start
for St. Louis about March 80, to reach there
April l. Are you not willing, each one of
you, my Populist brothers, to help some in
this emergency? IF so kindly send your con-
tribution. One dollar, fifty cents, twenty-five
cents more or less to Chairman Mallett at
Cleburne, Texas, to reach him by March %.
Let US all help some.
Fraternally yours,
FL. L. BENTLEY, Secretary.

to send the paper to such unfortunates. But
everyone knows a number who do read, think
and inquire, and to all such we want to intro
duce the Jeffersonian and ask them to sub
scribe
Send us the names, and help to give the

ever it has gone, it has set thoughtwaves in
motion; and it should go everywhere.
