"LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
Appeal to Democrats for Bryan and
Kern Campaign Fund.

There are no secrets in this cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not dollar Is to be accepted which
requires any promise, either expressed
or implied, other than for honest, i'm
partial government
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang-
ling alliances, free to serve all classes
of honest citizens alike, or he will
not enter 1t at all.
Hence the course Is plain. The
campaign Of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses If they Want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored
classes, having secured "Swollsn For
tunes" by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBCT-
ED 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 mortgage on the Government
meant that the candidate for Presi-
dent knew few people only in an
entire State.
Bryan says, We will take the
cause of PEOPLES RULE home to
the people Of every county"
You can serve the grand cause of
popular government through the col
umns Of your paper. 1t reaches the
fireside Of the patriot who loves his
country for his cnuntry's GOOD; as
distinguished from the greedy poses
sor 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 hwo favors Govern
ment by the people to pay you, at
once, as many dollars as he can spare
to aid the campaign for BRYAN,
KERN AND PEOPLES RULE. You
forward these gifts Of honest hearts
and homes every week to the Treas
urer Of the Democratic National Com
mittee. with the name Of each con-
tributor and amount given. The
Treasurer will forward you a certifi-
cate like the copy enclosed for each
one, asking you to deliver these GER
titicates.
Once more, you should be a part
OF the Great Organization bearing
the Lamp Of Light to every nook and
corner Of free America.
Our country Is for the People; its
Government must be by the People.
