As this copy of The Commoner may bo rend by some one not familiar with tho dotalla of the primary pledge plan, It Is necossary to say that according to tho terms of thls'plan every demo crat Is asked to pledge himself to at tend all tho primaries of his party to be hold, between now and the next democratic national convention, unless unavoidably provontod, and to secure a clear, honest and straightforward declaration of tho party's position on every question upon which the voters of tho party desire to speak. Those desiring to be enrolled can either write to Tho Commoner approving the object of the organization and asking to have their names entered on the roll, or thoy can fill out .and mall the blank pledge, which is print ed on this page. The following letters are self-explanatory: C. J. Fisher, Centralia, Mo. -I en close primary pledge with thirty-flve signatures. Alexander McDonald, Peublo, Cold. Enclosed And list of Pueblo demo crats. They are men who attend all of the primaries, nevertheless they havo endorsed the primary pledge plan. R. L.

Enclosed plenso find money order for $7.20, the within subscriptions to The Commoner.

En closed herewith find the primary pledge which I have signed. It gives me much pleasure"- to do anything that will advance true democracy. It be hooves the people, without regard, to party lines, to rally to the cause ad vocated by The Commoner and to 'do all they can to aid in the battle against wrong. C. Sv Herndon, Ona, W. Va. I send you pledge with twenty-four names. I will leave some for my neighbors to get. There are a few more in my precinct, but not more than fifty. Some of them have read the Rip Saw, and it has made fools of them. I tell them that I am a democrat, no mat ter what party may spring up. I gave the papers to parties who would appreciate the good they might get out of them. Several republicans wanted to read them, and one repub lican signed my pledge. He says he will not vote the republican ticket any more. J. H. Haughawort, Fairmont, Neb. I herewith send list of eight' signers to the primary pledge. W. G. Adkins, Mllford, la. Enclosed find primary pledge with the siena- tures of six good democrats, and still ! rnma nra wnro rv PMnm J. M. Wright, Kellys, Kans.I think tho primary pledge is a good thing. Herewith is pledge with list of nine signatures. T. J. Griggs, Granville. la. I de sire to bo enrolled on the primary pledge lists. I have always attended not only Nour county and state con ventions, but our township primaries the most important place of all as it is tho beginning of politics. The only salvation of this country is in the tiiumnh of real democracy, -A. B. Yates, Midway, W. Va. I en close my own signature and" that of another good democrat to primary Died co. I P. C. Crow, Garnott, Ark. Here with find primary pledge with twenty signatures'. Please send me moro pledges for I know I can get moro signero. Jackson McCall, Rushville, Ind.

I could have had it filled long ago, but am not away from home very much. I got most of these names by being at qourt a few hours. Not more than two or three refused to sign it. H. L. Taylor, Netvdale, W. Va. Please find herewith primary pledge with the signatures of thirty-five true and tried democrats. Please send me about four blanks, for the campaign is coming. The people are beginning to talk and I want to be ready to take signers to the pledge. Miller Blodgett, Stewartstown, N. H. I send the primary pledge, I be lieve in the movement and think it is doing good. We cannot expect much in New Hampshire, a state ruled en tirely by corporations, but we aro glad to see democracy prosper in other places. I hope to see Jefferson, Jack son and Bryan democracy prosper. J. P. H. Russ, El Paso, Ark.--En-closed find primary 'pledge signed. I am 54 years old and have been voting the populist ticket from Cleveland's first administration. I am not going to vote for any gold bug democrat. I wijl not vote for any of these trust agents Buckner, Palmer, Cleveland, Hill, Jones and company. I am going to try and attend all the democratic primaries, and if the party will speak out emphatically on all public ques tions and nominate a Jefferson demo crat, I will vote a straight democratic ticket. If not I will vote the populist ticket or none. Watson Is a good democrat; Bryan is a good democrat, or was before he took the stump for that old trust agent, rarker. I hope God has forgiven W. J. Bryan, and the people will. Mr. Bryan, never support a gold bug trust agent again. J. W. Crook's, Cairo, Ind. I believe The Commoner's plan for organizing the democratic party the best yet de vised. We must interest, educate and organize genuine Americanism against the encroachments of plutocracj'. It is high time that tho masses, the voters should realize that tyranny has its origin chiefly and its perpetu ity largely in predatory wealth. The insatiate despotisms ancient and mod ern were generally founded on tho unrighteous acquisition of wealth by a few avaricious and unscrupulous men. Strike from the reigning no bility of Europe the ill-gotten gains of centuries and every tyranny would totter and fall.
