Y. 1.00 Send nil Orders to The Commoner, Lincoln, Neb. democratic party for president since that time, with tho exception of ono, and that ono waB Parker, in 1904, and why I did not voto for Parker? Well, I will tell you and your thous ands of readers why I did not voto for him. In 189 G, and again in 1900, when W. J. Bryan was tho candidate for president, tho Now York World, with a number of other papers that pretend to be democratic, but who generally support the can didates of tho republican party, with aH tho plutocratic Wall Street bank ers and trust magnates, threw their influence against Bryan and gavo thousands of dollars to tho republi can campaign fund to defeat him in stead of throwing their influence and giving their money to help to elect him; and this they did after Bryan was each timo nominated by tho overwhelming sentiment of tho troo democrats of tho entire nation. After ho was twico defeated by tho crowd already mentioned, I mado a vow as thousands of democrats all over tho country did, that I would never voto for any man for president who pretended to bo a democrat and yet threw all his influence against the election of William J. Bryan. In this promise I mado, I also include any man who Is put forward for president by the crowd spoken of, for if ho will allow them to groom him he is one of them. Tho New York World, with the balance tho pretended democratic trust ma nates, stands for the same polici (with perhaps the exception of the tariff issue) that Aldrich and Can non stand for and which has been carried out by the republican party for the last fourteen years- without any interference from such pretended democrats as are now coming to tho front and asking the true Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan democrats to take the rear seats. I am a democrat who fights for principle and not for office and I had rather vote for the meanest stand-pat republican in tho country than to vote for a pretended demo crat who, if elected, would advocate the same principles the republican paTty is now forcing on tho country. If the policies now advocated and put in force by the republicans are to be continued I want the republi cans to continue them and get the curse and not the democratic party. W. D. Wilson, Houston, Texas Should not the democratic party, oppose the placing of some tens of thousands more ofifce-holders post masters, the great majority of them republicans in life positions with the government as recommended by the president? The republican office holders have for years been the government-paid active political workers and contributors for the republican party all over the country. How much doeB $10 or $25, contributed by each republican office-holder amount to, to be yearly sent to some of the doubtful stateB? They con tribute else human nature and gratitude are no loinger a part of man's make-up. Is it not detrimen tal to tho public welfare to have tens of thousands of office-holders of one party or the other, holding lifo positions in tho government service? Even sections that are entirely demo cratic are wholly officered by repub licans, and now it is sought to make their position life-long. Why should this condition bo perpetuated? It seems to the writer that tho demo crats havo long consented to life long positions being madefor those who are holding office, while tho re publican party goes on packing tho list from their party by the thous ands.
