I was talking to a friend of mine
just a day or two ago about you,
and showed him that piece in The
Jeffersonian. He stated that you
ought to be our- President. I re
marked to him that it was a pity
that our Congress, our U. S. Senate
and our President could not be men
like you. I tell you, we need men
there with brain and nerve—men
who will stand for our rights.
I think I can send in a new list of
subscribers before long.
You are gaining ground every
day. If the people will lay down a
little old political grudge against you
and read for information, they all,
except Catholics, will endorse you.
Your friend,
Ga. W. A. DANLEY.
READ THIS ONE, FROM ILLINOIS.
Dear Sir: I am sending club of
ten subscriptions to your paper as
per accompanying list.
I claim to be one of the old guard,
as I was a delegate to the Omaha
convention and helped to nominate
General Weaver and adopt the
Omaha platform, the grandest plat
form ever placed before the Amer
ican people, in my estimation; also
a delegate to the St. Louis conven
tion in 1896, and helped to nominate
you for Vice-President, and also at
St. Louis at the last Populist conven
tion where you were nominated for
President. Am 72 years old and still
swearing by T. E. W. Am a farmer
by occupation. Was nominated for
Congress on the Populist ticket in
1892, again in 1894 and in 1898,
and while I have never fully recov
ered from the financial backset as a
result of these campaigns, I have
lived to see the principles we then
contended for either enacted into law
or in a fair w r ay to be so.
