your acquaintances an opportunity to join in
the work of building up the "army of a million

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 ofllco and relating
to tho 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 tho faithful on guard."
