PAGE TEN ZETTEXJ- t'RO'M THP PP.OPLE. 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. WILL KEEP ON. Wegdahl. Minn., Oct. 28, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.

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! A. P. DAVIS. R. F. D. 1. Thunderbolt, Ga., Oct. 8, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: Find enclosed $2. for
