MAN TIE NATION REQUIRES.
Jehn a. Iohnsor the Ideal Occupant
CT the Presidential Chair.

As president, Gov. Johnson would
Lave the qualities that might described
as logically and historically ncedful
At tbs time. representing both in
thought and by coucrete achievement
ali Of the progressive reforms to which
the american people are now thorough
ly committed. His personality and
his methods are such that, coming into
Office after the strenuous and ever
terrifying political and financial eX-
reriences Of recent years, he would be
prepared to hold all that has been
gained, restore an era Of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
legislation as the times require. In
word, Gov. Johnson is precisely the
kind of a leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
servative in his methods. The same
confidence-inspiring, vOte-gettlng at
tributes that have made Gov. John
con so popular in Minnesota that there
is absolutely no question that he
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
of the nation, once they have an Op-
portunity to become acquainted with
the man.
Every political campaign has its In
dividual conditions. Ii is found in this
contest that Gov. Johnson possesses
strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain TO bring to the
Democratic party upwards OF a million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
ton insures beyond reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov.
johnson in the following states: Min
nesota. North and South Dakota, Iii
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa Kansas, Ne
braska. Colorado, Montana, Washing
ton and Michigan

GALL FOR JOHNSON
LOGICAL STANDARD BEARER OF
THE DEMOCRACY.
APPEALS TO THE VOTERS.
In His Name and with the Great
Cause Victory is Assured to
the Party Of the People
Why Court Defeat?

Friends OF Governor John A. John
son Of Minnesota have ISSUED a letter
and pamphlet that together consti-
tpte an address to the Democrats of
the country. Both make strong ap.
peal to Democrats everywhere to ex-
,ert themselves to see that the Denver
convention shall be a deliberate body
That will look the field over and
CHOOSE a candidate Who, while repre-
Wanting modern Democracy, can win
,at the polls.
Tho letter, which is signed by Fred
le1ck b. Lynch, treasurer OF the Min
A1sota Democratic State Central Com
INittee, who has opened Offices in the
Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, is as fol
lows:
Dear Sir: You are a Democrat and
1t is because you are Democrat that
this is addressed to you, with the feel
ing that You will exert yourself to give
the party one OF the greatest essen
,}jAls to victory, a strong and accept
Able candidate for the presidency.
The Democracy OF the nation have
Tor II years been losing ground and
HE belief is general that under the
.e3d conditions defeat is certain. For
months the party has been drifting
howard an autocratic convention,
where popular choice is to be subor-
!dinate to personal will.
Minnesota Democrats, feeling that
party duty transcends individual in
,tcrest have had the courage to
break away from the drift and offer

the party a candidate who. # nonli-
mated, can carry more states than any
other living Democrat and who would
be practically certain of election. Re
Jbelling against the doctrine Of despair,
we take 1t for granted that there is
no necessity for the ravens Ct defeat
ito perch ON the banners Of Dc moe
racy in 1905. simply because theN did
in 1886, 1900 and 1904
Conditions industrially, financially
and POLITICALLY are such that We have
this year the opportunity Of genera
ton to win the presidency
If Yea and the otter Democratic
leaders eff the country will bat re
spoud to the invitation and the Gppor-
tunity extended TO You by the Demo
Gratis of Minnesota. We can escape
from the hlishting tradition of defeat,
and rehabilitate the party and the ma
ton by a great political victory next
November.
There is still ample time to see
that enough do!eSates ave elected to
the Denver convention 10 make that a

Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tariff
question, insists that residents of the
United States should be permitted to
buy homemade goods at home at as
low price as the foreigner can buy
American-made goods abroad. He also
insists that our government should be
by and for the people as whole, rath-
err than by and for the trusts, and adj
ministered in the interest of a few
benefciaries of the trust system. He
believes that national legislation for
the purpose of better regulation and
control of interstate commerce and
common carriers should supplement
state legislation, and not be substi-
tute for state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Commoner,
reflects his opinions each week on ques-
tions of public Importance and in its
columns may also be found his maya
zine articles, public speeches, addresses
and lectures, which are referred to in
the daily press from day to day.
If you are interested in politicalques-
tions, if you desire to keep in touch
with the progress of the campaign and
to read Mr.. Bryan's campaign speeches
send sixty cents to The Commoner,
and the paper will be sent to you each
week until the close of the next presi-
Dental campaign.

stamps will be accepted. Only sixty
