to participate in the election. If these
steps are not taken the predatory cor
porations and their henchmen will be
enabled to send in any election returns

semblyman or any other official.
I'VE already learn that the corpora
lions and the reactionary elements In
both parties are striving to have candi-
dates nominated on both the Democratic

TO force the denomination of Gov
Miller on the Republican ticket They
are equally determined to force the
nomination on the Democratic ticket of
plaster and lath Democrat. preferably
a masked reactionary. who will serve
their interests.
The difficulty facing the people of
this State is to secure the nomination
or the Democratic ticket of a man who
will stand for the principles set forth
by the Women's Progressive Democratic
Alliance. To accomplish this a deter
mined fight must be made with the aid
of fearless. honest and independent men.

Offices Of Governor. Senator and Assem-

Suggests Alliance with Pell.
I'm furtherance OF this worthy cause
know that you will spare neither time
nor effort. The thought suggests itself.
In addition to your personal endeavors
you might deem expedient to take the
matter up with Mr. Herbert c. Pell,
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee. to the end that the State may
be organized along the line Of these def
mite ideas and the sentiment for an
immediate return to popular government
effectively crysta1lized.
ITO my mind this Is the opportune
time for such organization when nomina-
lions are still shaping themselves. To
secure this effective alignment of the
progressive forces. In both the major
political parties is an essential first step
to complete restoration of popular
government in this State. l am sure
that the hearty cooperation of all
honest, right thinking citizens may be
depended upon.

by those whose plundering activities you
have courageously denounced l. too.

tacks of the self-seeking corporate in
terests in both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. With you / feel that
every man in public office. as we'll as in
private life, who honestly seeks to adj
vance the peoples cause. may consider
the malgnment and harassment of GER
tain individuals and interests a badge of
distinction.
II hope that your many other labors
will permit of your active assistance.
personally and through your publica-
tions. in restoring the government Of
this State to the people. This assist
ence might very proftably be extended
to securing the removal from the regis
try lists all over the State of the names
of individuals who are dead. have re.
moved from the election districts or who
for any reason are not entitled to vote.
It might also be extended to securing
the arrest and speedy punishment of the
political tools of the corporate interests
in both parties. who manipulate the
registry lists. permit illegal voting and
send in false returns on election night.
The people throughout the State OF
New York are clamoring for a return OF
