Jeff Bryson, Agent. You are a Democrat. You are a Democrat and, of course, want a democratic newspaper. The Chicago Dispatch is the great democratic weekly newspaper of the country. It advocates the readoption of the platform and the renomination of William Jennings Bryan. There has never been a political campaign that will equal importance that of the one to be fought next year. The republican party, backed by the money power of this country and Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flushed with the victory of three years ago it will seek by every means in its power to maintain its supremacy. Democrats must lie up and doing. They must wage 1 an unceasing war upon their enemies. In no better and effective way can be done than by the circulation of this good sound democratic newspapers. The publisher of the Chicago Dispatch, will send to every new subscriber for three months a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten cents. If you are not already taking this great political weekly, send in ten cents at once. You should not only do this yourself, but you should induce all your friends to join with you. Bv a little effort you can easily raise a club of ten or twenty subscribers. The Chicago Dispatch is endorsed by William Jennings Bryan and other democratic leaders.
