Various
United States -- Politics and government -- Periodicals
I am one of the charter members of your Magazine and I have been handing
it out to some mighty good men for them to read. I am forty-eight years
old and have read a heap and I believe that I will be inside of the truth
when I say that there is more good sound sense in one of your Magazines
than in all of the newspapers that I ever read outside of the _Missouri
World_ and the paper that you used to publish. I took it as long as you
ran it. I have followed you ever since you were in Congress. I got a
couple of your campaign books at that time, voted for you every time I
got a chance to. I would rather cast ten thousand votes for Tom Watson
than one for the sainted Bryan. I wouldn’t give Tom Watson for all the
Bryans that could stand on Nebraska soil. I don’t think he is good stuff
for reform, or for the plutocrats either. I will close by saying that I
think TOM WATSON’S MAGAZINE is the finest in the world, and I have never
seen anything that would equal it for an educator. Give it to them, Tom.
I believe the boys are leaning your way.

I thought enough of your Magazine to send you a renewal of my
subscription which will carry me through to April, 1907. I have always
admired Mr. Watson as a writer, and as long as he writes as well as
during these last two or three years I shall continue to read his stuff.
I admire some of his politics but am not a third party man, nor am I
populistic in my views. I am an independent, I presume, or “on the fence”
ready to fall in line with an honest party, one foreign to the present.
I see no reason why the Magazine should not reach into the millions. It
is good enough, fair enough, bold enough, and honest enough to give each
and every one a fair deal. Tell Tom to hit Roosevelt and he’ll please me.

You are doing splendid work with the Magazine. I was chairman of the
State Central Committee of this State in 1896, the year Bryan ran the
first time, and the year he destroyed the People’s Party. When he
swallowed the gold standard, Parker, gold telegram, boots and all, he
lost the last vestige of respect I had for him. He has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
