I find in the literary department much to commend and little, if anything, to find fault with. In the editorial and political department, I can not say as much. You advocate many things which men of all parties have always been agreed on—that is, honest men of all parties. If you could only get the people to take you seriously and make the ten commandments a partisan issue, you would win out hands down, for a big majority of the people are honest in principle and want an honest Government. I dissent from very much that you are trying to teach in the way of political economy and you make many assertions and statements which I believe to be errors. But that does not count. The greatest fault I find with it as a magazine is the tendency toward being a common scold—with a good deal to denounce and little or nothing to commend. * * * * * _C. E. Hedgpath, Centralia, Mo._ Mr. Watson, allow me to say that while I admire your talent and much more your honesty, I cannot agree with you that the “great middle class” are the only ones needing protection. There is a party in the field fully organized and standing for “all the people”. “Government ownership”, with the Government as it now stands, would only add to our burdens. But first—Let the people own the Government. For this the Socialist Party stands. * * * * * _O. E. Samuelson, Kiowa, Kan._ I have received two numbers of your Magazine and have studied them when I could spare time. I was in the Populist movement one time. It was all right in its time, but its time is past and now we have something better—Socialism. So your Magazine is not enough revolutionary. * * * * * _P. R. Richardson, Gardi, Ga._ “Hon. Hoke Smith, Atlanta, Ga. “Dear Sir: There are so many high-flying silver-feathered Democratic office-seekers that unless a man is well posted he can never tell the real man from the political tool. But seeing that Thomas E. Watson has promised you his support for Governor of the great State of Georgia, it explains away and clears up all doubts. So around our fireside cane-grindings we will talk and drink to your health, and when the day of the primary comes along we will roll in our votes. “Yours very truly, “P. R. RICHARDSON.” Being a subscriber to the Magazine, I offer the above letter for publication in the Magazine. * * * * * _D. C. Pryor, Uvalde, Tex._ I send you a “legal tender,” A thing you have often seen, For which, please send to me, “dear Tom,” Your splendid Magazine. Whilst I am a Democrat Its ranks I’d hate to leave, But I’d vote for you, “dear Tom,” Before I’d vote for Cleve. * * * * * _Dr. H. P. Boyce, Los Angeles, Cal._
