AwHEsLER's VIEW.
Mr.. Ellis Has Nothing to Fear From
the Alliance People.

duty. For assure you they are IN p
need of teachers. You advise them S
against organizing third political k
party. You ought to know that one b
of the fundamental doctrines OF the d
order is an opposition to third party a
politics, or any other party politics. c
That the organization as body are i
pledged to vote "for only such men
for Office as can be depended upon to
carry out their views uninhuenced by
party caucus" You say "They have l
made no preparations for political
campaign, and have neither the lead
ers nor the means to make winning
fight in the face of Democratic ma
jority of 3,4O0 in the district, when
has been nearly doubled by recent
gains and changes" Just what pre-
parations are necessary / do not un-
derstand further than to nominate
good man that will pledge himself II
elected to carry out the views OF the
organization as far as he is able, and
let the organization know that such
man has been nominated and they
will without regard to party politics
support him. As for leaders, and
means, you name several leaders in
your article that are well calculated to
carry out their views. While these
parties may be, and probably are
| Democrats, and would if nominated
for Office make the race as such, but
in Kansas, Iowa, and the Dekotas,
| Just as good men can be found that
will carry out the views OF the organi-
zation who are Republicans, and
could be depended upon to work Tor
the interest OF the people as much as
if they were Democrats. Right here
is the rub, aud has always been the
trouble with the political parties as
they now stand. They love party bet
ter than the people. Consequently
party is fostered and the people neg
lectod. And right here is the prin
ciple feature of the organization, to
distroy party lines when any measure
is before Legislative body that is FOL

A. Unity of action is the watch word
y the organization. And the "recel
Il. gains and changes" are due to tn
is fact. The sooner that politicians an
nd others find out that it is not the inte
mt ton of the organization to form
'er third political party, the sooner tn
ns, will appreciate the influence, strengt
id. and power, against Which they W
he have to contend. OF course it is pr
DIS, per, sensible, and patriotic, !
nd the Labor Union people to rely ON t
ad Democratic party to give them I

scs true it is neither sensible, proper, Il

eing clusion let me say so far as Mr.. i

continue to battle for their rights
for advocate their claims. But just
and soon as the people find that he
