PAGE TEN ZETZEAS TRCm THE PEOPLE Xenia, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1907. Tom Watson, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I ran across a copy of your magazine the other day and liked it. It seems to give some new views of our history and of our dealings with Indians. I enclose check for $1.50 on subscription for it. Send to J. E. Hawes, Xenia, Ohio. Respectfully, J. E. HAWES. Note. —Here is a young lawyer who happened to “run across” a copy of The Jeffersonian magazine, and it evi dently set him to thinking. But if he really wants to be kept wide awake, he should have the Weekly, too. THIS ONE IS FROM A MAGNANI MOUS EDITOR OF THE NORTHWEST The Outlook. J. R. Lowe, Editor and Publisher. Centuria, Wis., Oct. 12, 1907. Hon. Tom Watson. My Dear Sir: There is nothing that I enjoy more than to read your pub lications, and it amazes me at the wide range of thought and faet that you are able to grasp. I have watched your course from your entry into b Congress, and at no point have you m< ide-stepped to secure personal ad vantage, but your action has been in £ ( perfect tune with the hungering de f maud of the common people of the country for reform, which is vocal ized in conversation and desire, but not yet into voting power. The evolution is progressing rapidly and ere we are aware of it a mighty change will come over the spiiit of the people as in 1854-’56. May honest, big-hearted Tom Wat son ride on the crest of the wave. And wouldn’t it be the hallelujah time for a shouting lot of Pops. Yours most sincerely, J. R. LOWE. Kirby, W. Va., Oct. 10, 1907.

Such publications, whose mission is to strike the shackles from the oppressed and to establish the square deal to all classes of so ciety, are few and hard to rind. I have been a subscriber to all of your publication beginning in 1891 or 1892. Yours truly, R. 8. DAVIS. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 14,1907. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.

Dear Sir: As my time is about out for The Weekly Jeffersonian, I send P. 0. order for $1 to keep the paper coming. I want to keep in sight of the “other fellow,” and the Jeffer sonian is the best paper to find out what the “other fellow” has done and what he intends to do. Yours truly, G. W. WHITE. R. F. D. 1. Bowling Park, Fla., Oct. 14,1907. Hon. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. My Dear Sir: Find below a few names that you may send a copy of The Weekly and Monthly to. I think they wiirsubscribe. I will, all along, as I can spare the time, do what I can to increase your circulation. It is useless for me to say that I ad mire your work and stand for the plain people of this country, and it deserves the heartiest co-operation. May you live long and be crowned with eternal happiness in the world to come. I first heard of you at Mid ville, Ga., when I was a lad of seven teen years, when you ran against Barnes in the 10th on the Alliance platform. Have voted for you when I had a chance to. Yours truly, G. L. AGNEW. Manhattan, Kans., Oct. 9, 1907. Hon. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: Your notice of the expi ration of my time for your Weekly Jeffersonian just to hand. Right you are, Tom, in saying that I can’t well afford to do without the Weekly dur ing the coming battle of next year. Consequently I have already renewed my subscription to the Weekly and Monthly through Dixon & Langford. Perhaps you will get word soon. Don’t stop either of the publications, for the money is now on the road to you. Perhaps I should have sent sooner, but as the old saying is, “Bet ter late than never. ’ ’ Yours for the success of all reform movements, S. A. BLACK. R. F. D. 2. Winchell, Tex., Oct. 9, 1907. Hon. Thos. E.

I will soon send you $1.50 for another year of the maga zine. lam too old and faable to get out much, but I think and “talk much” in my neighborhood. Tell Nye that he has a staunch friend in WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. * my wife. She and I have been Pop ulists since 1860. The label above is taken from The Weekly Jeffersonian. The one on the envelope is from the amgazine. Much success to you and the cause, I am, as ever, Your friend, J. W. WHITE. A FEW WORDS CONCERNING THE JEFFERSONIANS. After being treated in a most ridi culous manner by Colonel Mann and C. Q. DeFrance, Mr. Watson severed his connections with the New York magazine and began the publication of, a weekly and a monthly magazine in his native state, the two periodi cals being his individual property. About October 4, 1906, appeared the first issue of the Weekly Jeffersonian, and the month of January, 1907, brought forth the first issue of the monthly Jeffersonian, these two pub licatiuns being filled with true Demo cratic principles, edited by the noble spirit of Mr. Watson, give to the people the most interesting literature that ever circulated throughout the United State*. There are many subscribers whose subscriptions will goon expire. Are they going to renew their subscrip tions, or are they going to stand idle and refuse to assist Mr. Watson in the coming campaign of 1908, which will be the most interesting election that this country has experienced in many vgars? The two Jeffersonians will afford great assistance in this campaign, and it is the duty of every subscriber to renew his subscription, and those who are not subscribers should subscribe and gender Mr. Wat son every service possible. He only asks the people to subscribe for his paper and magazine, and be will spare no pains or labor in making them equal to the best. He offers them both for the small sum ol two dol lars. The editorials alone are worth more than that amount, and, besides the editorials, there are many other articles contained in the publications that are considerably interesting. Mr. Watson is the truest friend that the common people have ever had. He has been fighting the bat tles of the people for many years; has been cursed, abused and ridiculed more than any other man in the United States, but he is standing as firm to-day as he stood in the dark days of the past, speaking and writ ing for the rights of the people as no other man has ever done. The day has been when Mr. Watson had many enemies on account of his political views, but those days are hurriedly passing by, and may he live to see the day when all will know the truth and become his friends. The time will come when Mr. Wat son ’s principles and ideas will be ad vocated and extolled by every intelli gent being in this land of civiliza tion. But why should we wait until the cruel angel of death has called him from our midst and mother earth has infolded him in her arms, before praising his name? Why not appre ciate him now and offer every service that is within our power, so that he may see the results of his work? * It was Mr. Watson who, while in Congress, led the debate on the bill which required the railroads to put automatic couplers upon their freight cars, which has saved the life of many a poor brakeman. It was Mr. Watson who, on Febru ary 17, 1893, secured the passage of the first resolution which was ever passed in the United States provid ing for the free delivery of mails to the country people. The present sys tem of rural free delivery of mails is considered one of the greatest ser vices for the benefit of the farmers that is in existence. The time saved the farmer, which would otherwise be spent in going to the post-office, is estimated at from $50,000,000 to $60,- 000,000 a year, the number of routes now in operation in the United States being about 38,000. It is to be hoped that the people will show their appre ciation of this great service which was originated by Mr. Watson, by subscribing for his weekly paper and monthly magazine. T. J. SHIELDS.
