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.
