The following editorial appeared in The Commoner of. March 17 i "Mr. Bryan has been In receipt of a multitude of letters since the elec tion urging organization for the cam paign of 1908. The rank and file of the party are ready to begin the fight; they only await-jaf'plan of co-operation. This plan haapfeen under considera tion for some'eeks and is herewith submitted. "Let each democrat pledge hiniielf to attend all of the primaries of his party to be held between now and the next democratic national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to use his influence to secure a clear, hon est and straightforward declaration of the party's position on every question upon which the voters o the party desire to speak. "This plan docs not involve the writing of a platform m advance of the primaries; it does not rest upon the paramount importance of any one issue. It recognizes the right of tho democratic voters to control the policy of the democratic party, and to deter mine its position upon public ques tions. It also recognizes the import ance of honesty and sincerity in poli tics. "This proposition will appeal to all who believo in the ruls of the people to -all who are willing that the ma jority shall govern in party manage ment and in the nation. It does not mean that those who exert themselves to secure a good platform will be bound to support a bad platform that is a question which each must deter mine for himself but It does inean that the democratic platform shall give voice to the prevailing sentiment of the democratic party, and that the party shall take the country into its confidence. The pledge proposed is a, primary pledge because the people speak at the primaries. The national convention' ig attended hy delegates and each -delegate represents tens of rthousands of democrats. The state con vention is also attended by delegates, and these represent thousands of dem ocrats. The county conventions are, as a rule, attended by delegates, and these in turn represent hundreds of democrats.. At the primary the voters spealc for themselves; there democ racy has its citadel. "When the work of organization is suHlciently advanced, a time can be set for tho meeting of the members In their various localities. Tho mem bers of this organization, while pledged to but one thing namely, at tendance upon the primaries are urged to co-operate among themselves for tho support of every effort put forth to eliminate corruption' in poll tics. No cause can prosper perma nently that docs not appeal to the moral sense of tho country, andthe moral sense of the country is now be ing awakened to tho importance of purifying politics. "Tho Commoner will do its part in aiding every movement that has"for its object the ascertainment of tho will of the people and tho scrupulous on- forcement of that will. "The Commoner will also furnish' all the information that it can upon the questions which aro before tho public to the end that its readers may be pro pared to render the maximum of as sistance to every worthy cause. "Who will be the first to make this pledge? A record will bo kept in Tho Commoner office of the name and ad dress of each person who enters into this movement. Those who desire to be enrolled can either wiite approv ing the object of the organization, and asking to have their names entered on the roll, or they can fill out and mail the blank which is printed below. . "The Commoner will be pleased to publish a limited number of brief let ters on this subject. Mr. Bryan Is encouraged by his correspondence to 'believe that there will be a prompt and hfearty response to tho above proposi tion." xi THE PRIMARY PLEDGE i : y .v-r 't I promise to attend all the "primaries of my party to be held between now and the next demo cratic national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to use. my influence to secure a clear, honest and straightforward declaration of the party's position on every question upon which the voters of the party desire to speak. - Street, J --.7-Signed ....." . ., Postoffice -.J State County v i A P.fJ jf "Voting precinct pr ward, Fill Vutntts and mai? 3lSwfapner Office) .Lincoln, Neb.' f. t '. l jt-y?vij9 - v-1. 2 Aro you fa tho grip of a Uric Arid DUcaaef Tk& will cure you; proro It frrc.
