V' MARCH 16, 1906 The Commoner. 13 investigation, proposed is conducted thoroughly it will result in giving im munity from criminal prosecution to all persons who are called and sworn as witnesses. He said that considerable money should be pro vided to carry on the investigation, and he thinks that congress should consider whether $50,000 should be placed at the disposal of the com mission to defray the expenses. In one of the bills to be passed by congress is a provision requiring that all government clerics reaching the age of seventy years shall be dis missed from the service. The Ohio state senate, by a vote of twenty-three to thirteen, has adopted a resolution providing for the sub mission to the people of a constitu tional amendment permitting the people to initiate and to vote on legis lation. To initiate a law petitions for the same must be signed by at least 5 per., cent of the voters of the state. PRIMARY PLEDGE PLAN The case of William R. Hearst against the anthracite coal carrying roads has been ordered re-opened by the interstate commerce commission. It will be re-argued March 29. Mr. Hearst expects, in view of a recent decision of the United States supreme court, to establish his point before the commission. As this copy of The Commoner may be read by some one not familiar with the details of the primary pledge plan, it is necessary to say that according to the terms of this plan every demo crat is asked to pledge himself to at tend all the primaries of his party to be held between now and the next democratic national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and 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. Those desiring to be enrolled can either write to The Commoner approving the object of the organization and asking to have their names entered on the roll, or they can fill out and mail the blank pledge, which is printed on page 14. The following letters are self-explanatory: J. S. Morgan, Darlow, Kans. If every one would sign and keep the pledge we would soon have a gov ernment of the whole people. En closed find the pledge with twenty-one signatures. Thomas Harmeson, Clarks Hill, Ind. Enclosed find pledges of thirty-five voters in this vicinity. I have had no trouble in filling the primary pledges that I have submitted to you in the last few weeks, in fact, the only burden of the work rests in the time required to present the list for the signatures of the loyal democrats.

The writer has been in tho servico of the principles of democracy evory since the awakening of my duty to citizenship and throughout my whole life I have ever been found ardently advocating the principles that have given such great impetus to civiliza tion, and all along the journey of my life I have seen those brilliant stars blaze out In their truest brilliancy, the brilliancy generated by the sacrifice of self-interest to champion the cause of others, but I have never yet seen a time when the load seemed so heavy or the sacrifico greater than tho one now being imposed upon the shoulders of our few young champIonB. A life of seventy-seven years permits me in a reminiscent way to review tho ca reers of many young men, and their works but the work of Mr. Brvan with his foresight and force surpasses all that have gone berore. As I havo now grown old and have led out in the past few years the works of the champion of The Commoner, I feel that you might. desire some one in the community who Is younger and who can push the work of organiza tion to higher standards than I now have brought it. Trusting I may ever be able to stand with that un conquerable host that determines to lead our cause to success and that I may live to see the principles of a republic prevail.
