Sioux Falls, S. D., July 30, 1907.
Editor Jeffersonian:
The storm that swept over South
Dakota on the 13th of this month
removed from earth’s activities one
of the staunchest and strongest men
in the ranks of independent political
workers, in the person of Hon. John
M. Pease.
When the independent movement
swept over this state (in 1889-1896),
Mr. Pease was one of the first to
enter active work in its ranks, and
in the last Watson campaign he was
on the ticket as a presidential elector.
In. the early days of independent
activity and aggressive work, John
M. Pease was one of the leading
speakers of his party in the State,
and a foe that few opponents met
willingly in joint debate, and when
they did, they were usually second
best.
Mr. Pease was engaged for some
years in newspaper work, but for
the past few, he has been on his
farm near Mt. Vernon, where his life
was so suddenly snuffed out. He
bad made his wife and daughters
safe in a storm cellar, and then
went to. a grove near where the boys
had taken shelter to see after their
safety, and on his return was over
taken by the whirling wind and was
killed. He will be missed in the
movement for future reform. Peace
to his ashes. A wife and nine chil
dren, five boys and four girls, sur
vive him. J. A. ROSS.
The last comment Mr. Pease is
known to have made was on an ar
ticle in the July Jeffersonian Maga
zine.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: I enclose check for $1
for the Weekly Jeffersonian, which
you will please send to my address
for one year. I read your Monthly
Jeffersonian, and I must have your
Weekly, also.
I admire you above any other Geor
gian, and I want to read after you, so
long as you remain just simply “the
people’s Tom Watson.”
Let Bryan run for president on the
Populist platform; let Hearst espouse
the cause of liberty; let Hoke Smith
occupy the governor’s chair, elected
on the disfranchisement platform; but
I shall claim, and I know that I am
right, too, that Tom Watson is the
moving spirit of real reform.
God bless you in your unselfish
work.
Yours for Jeffersonian Democracy,
W. B. SCREWS.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: As my subscription tc the
Weekly is about out, I send you by
today’s mail a renewal, and will re
new for the Monthly later. I don’t
want to miss a number of either pa
per. I was a subscriber to the Peo
ple’s Party Paper when it was in ex
istence, and have many copies of it
in my trunk now that 1 love to peruse.
I began with your first number of
New York Magazine, and was delight
ed with it, as long as you controlled
it. When you quit I wrote DeFrance
to step my paper. I began with the
new Magazine and Weekly, and will
say that myself and family prize
them more than any other papers that
we take. I have sent twenty-five sub
scribers, or more, to your paper, snd
have never kept cne cent commission,
and feel that I am amply paid for
my service.
I have kept one eye on vou ever
since the meeting of the National Al
liance at Ocala, Fla. Watched yon
while in congress with admiration.
Sympathized with you when swindled
out of your rights, and admitted that
it was the unwritten law of Georgia
that you should not hold office.
Thank the Lord, the Tom Watson
stock is on the rise, and you are ap
preciated more than any other citizen
now before the public, and my great
est desire is that you may be able
to succeed in your great and laudable
efforts.
Mr. Watson, will you pardon me
if I were to say that the only criti
cism that I hear from your friends
is that milder expressions might pos
sibly do more good!
