If every regular subscriber to The Commoner would undertake to secure at, least five new. sub scribers, The Commoner's circulation would be without parallel in the history of weekly pub lications.

I think if every democrat could get three republicans to subscribe for The Commoner it would make a big change in election returns if the vote were honestly counted, I wHl also send primary pledge, although I have always voted the demo cratic ticket and have always been active in the campaign. I am now 67 years old, and am pray ing to live long enough to see a good democrat in the presidential chair. Success to The Commoner." W. P,. Priddy, South Greenfield, Mo., writes 'You will find enclosed an order ror $3 and five names for your paper. One of the names is that of my. uncle. He will be 80 years old in Jan uary and has been a democrat all of his life and goes to all of the primaries; His name is D. W. Scott." H. D. Mellen, Fairport, N.
