Please send me ten of those membership certificates. I wish to make a few of my republican friends a present of a year's subscription to The Com moner. I have already a few of such readers and they are now with us in the faith and will vote for W. J. Bryan for president this election. In fact I have never in my life (in the forty years that I have been voting the democratic ticket) seen a better chance to elect a demo- crat to the presidential chair. Our opponents freely admit that we will elect our man this year, but there is work for every democrat to do. S. II. Ford, Telford, Tenn. Enclosed here with please find GO cents for The Commoner. I live in upper East Tennessee, a regular hot bed of republican standpatters, where but u short while ago it was almost considered by them a crime to vote the democrat It ticket. Some of them have commenced to think for themselves. I am just in from a trip through Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. I find that W. .1. Bryan is gaining strength and favor every day. Those who are wise enough to know and honest enough to acknowledge that the republican party is responsible for every panic with which the American people have been cursed are desirous of a change of some kind, knowing that it can't bo made worse, even if the devil himself were elected and inaugurated. I am glad that I have an opportunity to join the million army. I shall use my every effort and influence for the great cause of the serfs and slaves of America. W. G. VanKuren, Roulette, Pa. Enclosed please find money order for $1.80 for three subscriptions to The Commoner. Kindly send me some more blanks and I will see what I can do. A. II. Holloway, Bucklin, Kan.
