No Chance for Ingalls, In Kansas.
oCALA, Fla, Dec. 1.-The second annual |
convention of the National Farmers ALI |
anee and Industrial union opened here to-
day. Yesterday tire Sub Tropical exposi- |
ton was inaugurated Henry w. Long, |
director general Of the exposition. acted as
master OF ceremonies and introduced Gov |
ernor Fleming, OF Florida, and Mayor
Thomas p Gary, OF Ocala, and President
r. +. Rogers, OF the Florida State Alliance |
Mr.. Rogers said the alliance had revolu
tionized American politics and had flled
up the bloody chasm. Let the solid west,
he said, lead or, and the south in solid
phalanx would march TO its rescue, and to-
gether they would claim the lion Of the
east.
As Ingalls, Successor.
Responses were made by National Presi-
| dent L. j. Polk, J. +. Willetts. who was
| introduced as the next senator from Kan
sas, and Mrs. Anuie briggs, OF Topeka,
Kan, who did some great campaign work
| for the alliance in that state. Col Polk
| thanked God that the day had at last come
| when representatives Of all the states In
| the country had come together on southern
1 soil and that once more there is in this
country one fag-our flag; ono country
| our country.
New Name Wanted.
| Mrs briggs said that the death sentence
/ OF sectionalism had been pronounced in
| Kansas on Nov. A. The need now was for
a new name. Republican and Democrat
bad become Synonymous with mismanage
| ment A man who had been northern
| Republican would fy at the word Demo
crat, and the old southern Democrat had
no use for the word Republican. Hence
new name Is necessary. This sentiment
was greeted with applause.
The Third Party Problem.
The leaders profess absolute ignorance
as to what the convention will do on the
subjects to be settled. IL is generally con
ceded that there will be q full and perhaps
an exciting debate on the question OF the
formation OF third party Many Of the
delegates from Kansas. Arkansas and
many other western states, IS well as fair
sprinklng of southern men, want to cut
loose and 20 it alone. Congressman 9eath-
erstone, OF Arkansas, expressed this feel
ing 70 me in this way; Oar people are
red hot now. II we c0Rfine ourselves to
meeting and resoluting for couple Of years
they will get cold and the opportunity will
be LOST

While this is the feeling which actuates
many Of the delegates, the more conserve

ers-hold that the wisest course would be
to wait until the old parties have indicated
