SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE? Let Them Assist In Bearing the Legitimate Expenses of the Campaign to This End. TO THE EDITOR: There are no secrets in this Campaign. Strictly practicing wh»t he preaches, Mr; Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. - Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, er he will not enter at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special interests and favored classes, having, secured "si wot.T .TON FORTUNES” by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MTEUTONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, "LET THE PEOPLX RULE.” This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS BEARING GIFTS.’ ” That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Government menat that the Candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE’S RULE home to the people and will know people in every country.” You can serve the grand cause of popular government. Your paper reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country’s GOOD; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his country’s GOODS. Please carry this letter in BOLD TYPE at the mast head of your paper. Asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE’S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every two weeks to the Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, with the name of each contributor and the amount given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate like the copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates. < Once more, you should be a part of the Great Organization bear- 1 Ing the Lamp of Light to every nook and corner of Free America. Our Country is for the People; its Government must be by the People. —r - Sincerely, NORMAN E. MACK, Chm. Democratic Nat Committee. n M. C. WETMORE, Chairman Finance Committee. C N HASKELL, Treasurer. r Chicago, Aug. 15, 1908.

Campaign Contributions. The Democrat is authorized to act as agent for the raising of funds for the legitimate campaign expenses of the democratic party this year, and solicits contributions in any sum over 50 cents. All moneys received will be receipted for and the names of the contributors published in The Democrat, unless otherwise requested, and every penny of the amounts forward to the proper headquarters. This, remember, is a people’s campaign, and the people who seek relief-from existing political evils should respond and pay tbe legetimate expenses thereof. This popular appeal for funds for financing- the campaign should meet with a liberal response. Few people are too poor to spare a dollar or two for so worthy a cause, and many can and will give much more. Send or hand in your contribution at your earliest convenience.
