Walter C, KIncaid, Princeton, 111. Find my
enlistment foi the 1908 battle. We want re
form .legislation, we dd not want asset currency,
we may be divided on many points of procedure,
"but we must 'elect TJnited States senators by
direct vote before the law making body will
respond to the people' and I hope our party will
place this Issue squarely as the paramount one,
as when this has beeh accomplished we can then
get whatever rdform that the majority want
which all should be willing to accept.
Being a regular subscriber to The Commoner
since your first issue I attach the name of a.
liberal thinking, republican to whom you may
send the paper for the GO cents enclosed.

three new subscribers. Every friend and reader
of The Commoner in every precinct in every
