WILL ISSUE MONTHLY
The Commoner, Bryan's Paper to
Change From Weekly to
Monthly.

Beginning August Is, The Com
moner will appear as a monthly
publication-this issue, July H.,
being the last weekly issue of the
paper. Mr. Bryan will not only
continue his editorial work on The
Com1noner, but under the new ar
rangement will be able TO give his
personal attention to the prepara-
ton of larger part of the paper
than he has been able to do for
the weekly. 1t is believed that
through this change The Conmo-
ner will be made stronger and more
n active, v1gfIant sup
porter of the great work to which
the Democratic party, is conseera-
ted. The administration of Wood
row Wilson is making history very
rapidly, and readers of The Com,
moner will be able to keep in close
touch with the public discussion
of affairs.
In every possible way within the
limits of publication of this
sort, improvement will be made.
New departments, instructive and
entertaining, will be introduced from
time to time, and the readers will
be kept informed as to the efforts
being put forth in every section of
the country in behalf of progress
sive government = municipal, state
and national.
In editorials written by Mr.. Bry-
an himself, The Commoner will
meet the attacks of those who are
opposed to Democratic reforms, and
the clever Misrepresentation made
by the organs of special interests.
1t will give timely discussion of the
great questions of the day and will
provide the missionaries in the
Democratic field with arguments
with which to confound those who
would mislead well-meaning men
of other political parties
Agriculture has come to be Of
such absorbing interest to all sorts
of men and is of such special in
terest to large number OF Com
moner readers that an up-to-date
agricultural department will be add
ed to The Commoner This will
be prepared under the immediate
supervision of an editor well in
formed in modern agricultural
methods and thoroughly appTecia
tive of the printed things deman-
ded in this line.
Under the new arrangement The
Commoner page will be the same
size as at present, but the num-
Der of pages will be increased from
sixteen to thirty-two.
Charles W Bryan, who has been
in charge of The Commoner since
its establishment, will continue in
direct control of the paper, and
will devote his time and energies
to the papers improvement
In its initial number The Com
ulUH6T printed dH euIlOIldl WulCh
concluded with this sentence: THE
Commoner will be satisfied if, by
fidelity to the common people, it
proves its right to the name which
has been chosen Regularly at
the beginning of each new year
The Commoner has reproduced that
sentence and, leaving to its read
ers the judgment as to the manner
in which it had fulfilled its mis-
sion, has consecrated its efforts
for the new year to the sacred cause
which it has the honor, in part to
represent. In this beginning of a
new and greater effort for the
defense of the public welfare in
the present generation and for
the advancement of the cause of
popular government for the bene-
fit of geneTstions yet to come, The
Commoner renews its simple pledge
OF fidelity to the public interests
through loyalty to great principles.
The Commoner, July II.
