A Timely Word to Democrats.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's pa
per, speaking of the coming special
election, says:
THE special election in the Sixth
Missouri congressional district to
choose a successor in congress to the
late David DeArmond, will take place
February l. C. C. Dickinson comes
highly recommended by those who
know him intimately. His public rec
ord is clean and his private life above
reproach.
1.-THE voters of the Sixth Missouri
district ought to go to the polls in full
force and give Mr.. Dickinson that
large majority to which his good
character and principles entitle him.
His opponent is not in sympathy with
reform measures and, if elected, may
fairly be expected to become a sup
porter of Cannon and Cannonism.
"Mr, Dickinson, unlike his oppo-
nent, is willing to tell the people
where he stands on all public queS-
tons, Unlike his opponent he may
be depended upon to labor for the
public interests. "
In letter recently written to The
Commoner, Mr.. Dickinson says:
81 concur with Hon. William J.
Bryan in his views upon the tariff,
and especially do agree with him
that a platform is a pledge, to be kept
and not violated, and that a consistent
regard for party pledges is the safest
rule. favor a law revising the
tariff downward in the interest of the
west and the masses everywhere.
Cannonism must end and a fair OPP
portunity given for the enactment of
just laws. The republican party
should 90 out of power and the trend
toward Capitalization cease. "
