WRITER DISAGREES WITH MIR. FITZPATRICK ON STRENGTH
 OF THE UNION PARTY

Waterbury, Conn.
 oct. 29, 1886 Editor of The Democrat: 7.
 I am taking issue with J. w. Fitz- patrick who expresses his own opin- ions and views twice weekly on the editorial pages of the Waterbury Democrat under the classification of By Way of No Harm"
 In an article written by MT. Fitz- patrick, on Friday, October 3, he has vainly attempted to convey to the reading public and mold their minds to the idea that there are, but two presidential tickets in the field which have a chance to win, and that voting for any third party ticket would be 8 vote lost or thrown away. He also stated that a vote for Lemke would be lost and that the only alternative the voters had left would be to vote for candidate Roosevelt. I think MT. Fitzpatrick should have expressed the thought that a vote for a communist would positively be lost because the lpo- liticalr doctrine of communism is atheistic and considers the state supreme, whereas the Union party contains a IS plank platform which is about the most liberal and Americanized platform ever before presented to the electorate by any political party in the United States.
 In his discourse MT. Fitzpatrick compares MT. Lemke and candidate Roosevelt both as liberal progress sives which comparison is of color as far as Roosevelt is concerned. But the issue at stake is not so much who is elected to the pres idency of the United States as is the fact that the Union party will carry candidates for Congress who are pledged to carry out the 15 plank platform of the Union party as well as subscribe to the 16 prin- ciples of Social Justice and there- by win unqualifiedly the support of the millions of members of the NUSJ throughout the entire coun- try. These men must replace the type of congressman who formerly had been representing in Congress, the special interests and the money changers. They also have been misrepresenting the general masses of constituents and 1t is high time that the enlightened and educated electorate who are marshaling pow erful forces should go to the polls on November 3 and register their disapproval of machine candidates of both old major political parties, republican and democrat alike.
 MT. Fitzpatrick's statements just quoted are an insult to the intell- gent voters and it is foolish for him to assume or to express the thought that the people are not aware of the fact that the Duponts, the Mor- gans, the Melons, the Fords, the Rockefellers and other American royalist families in the country, contribute literally to both the re- publican and democratic national campaign funds. What does this mean? It simply means that you are voting for machine candidates on either tickets and that the mon- ey plank in both parties leaves the international banker secure so that he still maintains control over the issuance of our national currency as well as the regulation and sta- bilization of foreign exchange.
 The Union party and millions of members of the NUSJ who are its main supporters and who are aware of the money blanks in the republican and democratic plat forms, realize that the Union party platform is the only one that con- tains a truly constitutional money plank which reads that Congress and Congress alone shall coin, issue and regulate all the money and credit in the United States through Central Bank of Issue.
 MT. Fitzpatrick! the Union party will garner one of the largest votes that any third party ever before received in this country even though it was only conceived 8 few months ago.
 We have marshaled our forces in 43 states out of the 48 and I here- with submit for your perusal and study the complete IS plank plat form of the Union party:
 THE PLATFORM OF THE
 UNION PARTY
