TO THE POPULIsTs OF TEXAS.

By authority vested in me as state chair
man Of the People s Party Of Texas, I here
by call the state committee to meet at the
Richelieu Hotel, in Fort Worth, Texas, at
10 a. NJ, on February 8, 1908, to arrange to
have Texas fully represented in the Populist
National Convention, which is called to meet
in St. Louis, Mo-, April 2, 1908. Other states
are moving, and organizing, and Texas must
get on the firing line with her banner flying
and get back into the front rank again Eel
low workers all over Texas, write me that You
will meet us on the 8th proximo., and be
ready to enter heart and soul into the work
Of recognizing our forces. Let us send a
full delegation to St. Louis, and stand to orr
principles like men, and generations yet I'M
born will call us blessed
Fraternally,
J. M. MALLETT.

OLD POPS, READ THIS.

Out in Texas, in the town Of Abilene, is
true-hearted, Industrious reformer, who is do
ing his level best to stimulate independent
thought and action, and to revive the interest
which tens of thousands of good citizens once
felt in Jeffersonian democracy. He has been
doing this work at his own expense. Being
poor man, this is an imposition which we
ought not to allow We owe it to ourselves to
help the man who is trying to help us.
The Jeffersonian strongly urges upon every
citizen who feels that in the campaign of 1908
every legitimate effort should be made to
bring out full, independent vote, to send
Mr.. H. L. Bentley, Abilene, Texas, contri-
button to help him on in circulating literature,
conducting a national correspondence, and or
ganizing Jeffersonian clubs. IF you can send
81, send it-send it now. IF you can spare
SIS, send that. Thousands Of you can send
$40 and never miss it. Do it, and reap the
reward of that good feeling which follows the
performance of good deed. IF you can send
no more than Is cents, send that amount.
The Jeffersonian can vouch for Mr. H. L.
Bentley, and for the fact that that money will
be honestly applied to the purpose herein in
Dictated.

afford to be without both publications. trust
that your Christmas proposition may bring
results that will make you feel happy for the
entire new year, for the common people

their rights and liberties and give Of their
bountiful harvest the small amount of a sub
scription to your publications that the gospel
Of truth and justice might fill the land as the
waters fill the sea. Wishing for you and
yours happy Christmas and a. prosperous
new year, [ am, as ever,

Wlnchall, Texas, Dec, 1907.
Dear Sir: AS the first year of the best
magazine on earth has expired, am coming
with money order for $3.50 for the year
1908. I am nearly 80 and I cannot sleep
soundly without it.
Well, Tom "a little familiar, you say), as
the national bankers picnic is on us I am
sitting here this bleak, cold December even
ing watching the performance. I see the
ring-master (Teddy) with his "big stick, !"
stirring up the animals (the bankers) and try
ing to keep "the best banking system on
EARTH in decent shape but, thus far, he has
made a successful failure, as all men and gov
ernments will do under the English, Hamil-
tonian money SYSTEM but they got the bonds
all the same. Old friend, as you are person
ally acquainted with "Teddy," please whis-
per in his ear that there is way, and the on
troubles and that is for him and his congress
to enact into laws without delay, the ideas
so plainly and forcibly expressed in the Pop
ulist platform. Greater men than Teddy have
tried it and it worked successfully. Bank
ranics, special privileges and multi-million-
aires would be things Of the past, and "peace
on earth and good will to man. would pre-
vail throughout the land All "Fthe people"
are IN state of unrest since this uncalled for,
unjust cruel panic has been thrust upon them.
May the good Lord inspire you to lead them
out of their troubles to the better way.
I see that some fellow is threatening to put
the innocent little railroads under "govern-
ment CONTROL" unless they stop being so gay
and be good while Then what? Will that
help us any? No stree! Government owner

RUTH COFFEY
Popular Ely Girl Dies Mon
day Evening

It was with extreme regret that
the news was circulated Monday
evening that Ruth Coffey had pass
ed away shortly after eight o o'clock.
Much sorrow was expressed and
many tears were shed.
Ruth was a popular favorite, hav-
ing grown up in Ely. She was
nearly IL years of age when her
young life was taken by the grim
reaper. She had been i'll for some
time with Bright's disease followed
by dropsy and Notwithstanding the
efforts put forth by the physicians
she gradually sank until death put
an end to her sufferings Monday
evening.
The funeral was held Wednesday
and the cortege that followed the
remains to their last resting place
in the Ely cemetery was one OF the
largest ever seen here, all classes
and creeds showing their sorrow
over the untimely demise. Several
classes of girls of the Ely schools,
dressed in white were in line and
the pail bearers were boys of the
High School. The remains were
taken to the Catholic Church where
Rev. Schiffrer performed the inn
pressive funeral rites.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Barth Coffey
and the surviving brothers and
sister is extended the sympathy of
host of friends in their bereave-
ment,
