B. M. Zettler, Candidate For

Commissioner
What he thinks:

w nat ne LnlnKS:
| hold that the chief business of
the State School missioner is to
look after the schools of the rural
districts-the State Common Schools.
l hold that the clerk provided for
by the State should do the clerical
work of the office and the Commits
sioner should get out actively among
the country schools and the country
people. And to do this he should
travel much on the country roads.
His face should be familiar to the
country school children and his name
a household word in every country
home froma the Tennessee line to the
borders of Florida
I hold that it has been due chiefly
to the lack of helpful cooperation by
the State Commissioner with the
County Boards that the custom still
prevails in many counties of employ
ing teachers on indefinite "apportion-
ments' to be paid whenever there
are funds in hand. With proper
management every county in the
State can, in two years, put it's
schools on a cash salary basis; and l
pledge the people and the teachers

paigns ever undertaken for the bene-
fit of the party. Addresses have been
prepared by some of the most promi-
nent and influential Democrats of
the country. These are now being
printed for distribution through the
Clubs, State and County committees.
Speakers Of national reputation will
be assigned, whenever possible,
where speakers are called for, and
the work of club and other Organiza-
ton pushed as rapidly as our funds
will permit. A well-equipped press
bureau will be established to furnish
Democratic newspapers with live po-
litical matter, from time to time, and
country weeklies started wherever
possible to do so.
To carry on a campaign of this
magnitude requires large expendi-
ture of money. We cannot delay or
put off this work until the eleventh
hour. The opposition is now active
ly and energetically at work and
operating twenty-four hours each
day. WE MUST BEGIN NOW. UP
to this time the expenses of the
League have been borne by few
loyal and enthusiastic Democrats
To ask them to continue making
personal sacrifices would be not only
an imposition but ingratitude The
Executive Board feels that when the
rank and file of the party understand
the Importance and nature of the
work which the League has under
taken that there will be willing dis
position to render loyal support.
The National Democratic League
of Clubs has undertaken this great
movement with the firm determina-
ton to succeed. We intend to go
forward and never turn back and
will stop at nothing short of decisive
victory this fall and in 1912.
We are NOW in urgent need of
funds to carry this work forward
and we appeal to you and all Demo-
Gratis to contribute toward the ex-
pense of this campaign, promptly.
We intend to make this the peo-
pies fight and for that reason we
ask the people to help finance this
campaign. We do not expect you or
your friends to make large contribu-
tons, but each give what he can,
willingly and promptly. A contri-
button Of a quarter or dollar will
be appreciated as much as five or
one hundred dollars. every little
bit helps" What we need is work
ers as well as funds, and we want
your cooperation and support in this
great movement whether you are
able to contribute anything toward
the expense of the campaign or not
We ask all Democrats to do their
share, no more or no less.
For your convenience we will send
number of enrolment blanks
Kindly date and sign one of these
blanks and return it promptly.
Please hand the other blanks to
your friends and urge them to do
their part. 1t is an honor to be per-
mitted to contribute to a cause of
this kind, and the list of contributors

will be held in grateful remembrance
by the Democracy of the Nation
Your pledge or enrolment blank
should be forwarded at once, and a

day. The MaSsasoit was struck by the
