From Now Until the Close of the Campaign45 Cents
The Commoner will be sent to any one an-
plying for it, from now until the close of the
1908 campaign, for 45 cents. It is hoped that
through the million army plan, The Commoner
may be placed in every precinct in every state
In the union.
Cut out, sign and return the certificate
printed on this page for your own membership.
Or if you do not care to mutilate your copy of
The Commoner send in a request asking for a
number of blank certificates and they will bo
forwarded to you, thus enabling you to give
your acquaintances an opportunity to join in
the work of building up the "army of a million
plan" and enabling them also to secure The
Commoner from now until November, 1908, for
only forty-five cents.
It is not possible to print in full the letters
received at The Commoner office and relating
to the Million Army plan, but extracts from
some of them are given below:
Hiram Pettey, Stewartville, Minn. Send
me twenty-one million army certificates. I will
try and get them filled out. I have been a reader
of The Commoner since its first issue, have
labored all these years practically alone and in
the dark but now I feel well repaid as I see
the dawn of democracy breaking. We can
easily give battle and rout an open enemy, but
the traitors within our own party, of which my
state has the chief one just now, are our great
est foes. In spite of all this we hope to send
a Bryan delegation to Denver and have a splen
did organization working for that result. Our
mottoes "Put none but the faithful on guard."
