' '-X The Commoner. 5 FEBRUARY 2, 1900 TO MAKE 1906 THE BANNER YEAR FOR THE COMMONER - The effort to make 1906 a banner year so far as concerns the increase of The Commoner's cir culation is to have, evidently, the cordial co operation of Commoner readers. The congres sional campaign will soon be at hand, and for this reason it is particularly important that The Commoner's sphere of influence be enlarged through a material increase in its circulation. Every mail brings to this office substantial assur ances that The Commoner's efforts are appreciat ed by those who have been its- regular readers, and this week the special subscription offer makes a particularly good showing. The marked interest manifested by many Commoner readers is shown by the following ex tracts from letters received at The Commoner office : G. W. Stephenson, a merchant of Cookeville, Tenn., writes: "Enclosed find $15.60 to pay for 26 subscriptions, all new except my own. I have taken every paper Mr. Bryan ever issued. I came from Ingram, Texas, to this place, though I'm a native of this state. Today I closed my store, and secured these subscriptions in two or three hours' work, not charging one cent commission to any. These subscribers are representative democrats county officers from sheriff down (lawyers, mer chants, preachers, etc.) I did this work for the love I have for Mr. Bryan and the great, good, patriotic principles for which he stands." John Sullivan, an attorney of Kansas City, Mo., writes: "I take pleasure in enclosing you list of 33 subscribers for your estimable publica tion. Epitomizing, as it does, from week to week, advanced thought, on all questions, of the day, it is an encyclopedia of discussion of current prob lems affecting' mankind's welfare, of inestimable value, to every reader. However else, Mr. Bryan will hold a place in history, as having caused his fellow men, to think more, discuss more, and delve deeper, Jinto all problems of sociological na ture, into all problems affecting man's welfare, than any of his ra, or of modern times." . The following named subscribers have sent in subscriptions in number as follows: "W. H. Fray, Yates, Mo., 27; Wylie Nielson, Valley City, N. D. 30; Wm. W. Weissel, Sr., Bluff ton, Ind., 16; J. A.
