As this copy of The Commoner may
bo rend by some one not familiar with
tho dotalla of the primary pledge plan,
It Is necossary to say that according
to tho terms of thls'plan every demo
crat Is asked to pledge himself to at
tend all tho primaries of his party to
be hold, between now and the next
democratic national convention, unless
unavoidably provontod, and to secure
a clear, honest and straightforward
declaration of tho party's position on
every question upon which the voters
of tho party desire to speak. Those
desiring to be enrolled can either
write to Tho Commoner approving
the object of the organization and
asking to have their names entered
on the roll, or thoy can fill out .and
mall the blank pledge, which is print
ed on this page.
The following letters are self-explanatory:

signatures.

all they can to aid in the battle against
wrong.
C. Sv Herndon, Ona, W. Va. I send
you pledge with twenty-four names.
I will leave some for my neighbors to
get. There are a few more in my
precinct, but not more than fifty. Some
of them have read the Rip Saw, and
it has made fools of them. I tell
them that I am a democrat, no mat
ter what party may spring up. I
gave the papers to parties who would
appreciate the good they might get
out of them. Several republicans
wanted to read them, and one repub
lican signed my pledge. He says he
will not vote the republican ticket any
more.
J. H. Haughawort, Fairmont, Neb.

Please find herewith primary pledge

and tried democrats. Please send me
about four blanks, for the campaign
is coming. The people are beginning
to talk and I want to be ready to
take signers to the pledge.
Miller Blodgett, Stewartstown, N.
H. I send the primary pledge, I be
lieve in the movement and think it is
doing good. We cannot expect much
in New Hampshire, a state ruled en
tirely by corporations, but we aro glad
to see democracy prosper in other
places. I hope to see Jefferson, Jack
son and Bryan democracy prosper.
J. P. H. Russ, El Paso, Ark.--En-closed
find primary 'pledge signed. I
am 54 years old and have been voting
the populist ticket from Cleveland's
first administration. I am not going
to vote for any gold bug democrat.
I wijl not vote for any of these trust
agents Buckner, Palmer, Cleveland,
Hill, Jones and company. I am going
to try and attend all the democratic
primaries, and if the party will speak
out emphatically on all public ques
tions and nominate a Jefferson demo
crat, I will vote a straight democratic
ticket. If not I will vote the populist
ticket or none. Watson Is a good
democrat; Bryan is a good democrat,
or was before he took the stump for
that old trust agent, rarker. I hope
God has forgiven W. J. Bryan, and
the people will. Mr. Bryan, never
support a gold bug trust agent again.
J. W. Crook's, Cairo, Ind. I believe
The Commoner's plan for organizing
the democratic party the best yet de
vised. We must interest, educate and
organize genuine Americanism against
the encroachments of plutocracj'. It
is high time that tho masses, the
voters should realize that tyranny
has its origin chiefly and its perpetu
ity largely in predatory wealth. The
insatiate despotisms ancient and mod
ern were generally founded on tho
unrighteous acquisition of wealth by
a few avaricious and unscrupulous
men. Strike from the reigning no
bility of Europe the ill-gotten gains
of centuries and every tyranny would
totter and fall. In & republic, prop
erty must be the legal servant and
