"LET The PEOPLE rule" "
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS
For Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund
from the Democratic National
Committee.
r Yorkville Enquirer:

Editor YorkviIIe Enquirer:
Dear Sir:
There are no secrets in this Cam
paisn. Strictly practicins what he
breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted which
requires any promise, either express or
implied, other than for HONEST, I'M
PARTIAL GOVERNMENT.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White House
absolutely free from entanglins alli-
ances, free to serve all classes Of hon
| it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The cam
paian 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,
having secured "SWOLLEN FOR
TUNES" by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stans s
CONTINUED FAVoRs. But that class
never gives a dollar unless it buys a
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.
BEARING GIFTS"
That policy of the favored few buy
ing a mortgage on the Government
meant that the candidate, for Presl-
dent knew few people only in an en-
tire State.
Bryan says, 1--WE will take the cause
of PEOPLES RULE home to the poo-
pie in 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 country's GOOD; as
distinguished from the greedy possessor
of swollen fortunes who owes his eoun-
try only for his country's GOODS.
Please carry this letter in Bold Type
every one who favors Government 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 treasurer of the Democrat
ic National Committee, with the name
of each contributor and amounts given.
The Treasurer will forward you GER
tificate like the copy enclosed for
each one, asking you to deliver these
certificates.
Once more, you should be part Of
the Great Organization bearing the
Lamp of Light to every nook and cor
ner of Free America. ..
Our Country is for the People; its
Government must be by the People.
