GOOD REPORTS FROM COMMONER READERS
There are good reports of the way Commoner
readers are working to increase, The Commoner's
circulation, and many are taking advantage of the
special subscription offer.
The following letters are self-explanatory:
A. D. Saxton, Lansing, Michigan Send me
ten cards. I think I can dispose of that
number for the paper. I believe you are
doing a good work. Your paper ought to
be in every democratic home in the United
States and as many republican homes as possible.
I have taken The Commoner since it fir3t started
and I should feel lonesome without it.
I. W. McOlary, Huntington, W. Va. You
will please And enclosed money order for $17.40
for which you will please send The Commoner
to the following names on the enclosed list.
You will please Bend me some blanks, I think
I can get you another list next mouth.
E. W. Best, Cunningham, Wa3h.- Please find
enclosed draft for $3.60 to cover the enclosed
list for The Commoner for one year.- This is
the result of five minutes work. Will send more
in the future.
T. E. Moore, Lexington, Ky. Enclosed find
list of 20 subscribers with check for same. I re-,
gret that I will not be able to give the matter
much time in the near future, but will try to send
a few at intervals. I sincerely hope you will
do all you can to increase your subscription list
in every county in Kentucky. Your paper would
accomplish much if it could be read by two or
three million. This would be an enormous cir
culation, but if enough energy were put into it,
why should not two or three million more bo
added? Such an effort would bring into line" the
weak kneed, floating element as well as vacillat
ing committees. (Mr. Moore recently sent 50
subscriptions and this number makes a total of
.70 he has sent in during a few weeks.)
. Ida Alice Westerfield, 130 North Nineteenth
etreet, Lincoln, Nebr. The Commoner voices the
sentiments of true and earnest democrats. Why
can not it reach a major part of them through
earnest democratic agents? , I am passing my
paper along each week, and will strive with better
effort to extend The Commoner's influence.
H. R. Wayman, Princeton, Mo. I take pleas
ure in contributing a mite to the circulation of
The Commoner by the enclosed check for the new
subscribers named, and will venture to suggest to
you that it seems now an opportune time to make
a thorough canvass for this paper. No one cares
.to make the required sacrifice of time to go
over a whole country, but if there could be somo
plan organized that every school district could
have an efficient agent to take subscriptions,
there would be quite an awakening -for what I
call "higher democracy," as I consider The Com
moner the cleanest, and most reliable of all po
litical papers I am acquainted with. The "calam
ity howlers' are surely abroad in the land now,
for all the papers are telling of the great frauds
In high places, although many of them have to
"whistle" to keep their courage up, while they
try to keep in line with the great onward move
ment of the people, in their effort to turn the
rascals down.
A Commoner reader, living at Audubon, la.,
writes: "Please allow me to make a suggestion
to the readers of The Commoner. If, after you
have read your copy, and digested it thoroughly,
you put a one cent stamp on it and send it to some
' republican who is wavering or to some weak
kneed democrat, you will have doubled the work
ing force of The Commoner. Then see these fel
lows occasionally and many of them will order
a copy of their own.. I have done this for a long
time and think it has resulted in adding quite
a number of subscriptions, although my business
will not permit me to be too enthusiastic in a
republican stronghold. The Commoner will be
the means of landing many of the progressive
republicans in the democratic ranks, where they
' fcelong." .' -
