THE SEVENTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.
The convention Of the peoples par
ty in the Seventh Congressional dis
trict convened at Great Bend on the
22d inst. A temporary organization
was effected by the election Of w. p.
Brush Of Clark county as chairman
and 0. w. Hendee Of Sedgwick as
secretary. The usual committees
were appointed and the convention
adjourned until / o'clock Twenty
three OF tho twenty-seven counties
were represented.
On reassembling the committee on
permanent organization reported in
favor Of A. s. Hackney Of Harvey
county for permanent chairman and
ID. Il. Armstrong OF Wichita county
for permanent secretary. The report
was unanimously adopted and the
convention was ready for business.
The ST. Louis demands were adopted
as the platform, and resolution adj
ded favoring liberal pensions TO sol
diers and that the government make
good to them the difference between
the deprecated currency they re-
ceived and the money paid to bank
ers and bondholders.
J. Simpson Of Barbour county re-
Ceived the nomination for Congress.
Mr.. Simpson being a stranger to us
we are unable at this writing TO say
anything about him. We shall be
able in due time, however to speak
of him intelligently. The fact Of his
unsolicited nomination is sufficient
guarantee Of his character and stand
ing where he is known. The pro-
ceedings Of the convention, like those
which have preceded it, are in happy
contrast with the proceedings Of po-
litical conventions generally. Office
seekers are at a discount in these peo-
ple's conventions, and all nominations
thus far have been unsought.

to desert their post of duty in time
of war.

the republican party, deems il his
duty 10 come 10 the rescue Of tho
famous $1,000 in Kansas He has
heard that zone Il. Il. Polk, president
Of the national alliance, and one
Ralph Beaumont, styling himself
chairman Of the national Legislative
committee OF tho knights Of Labor"
have been talking to the farmers Of
Kansas and that they, poor innocent
souls, having come 10 believe the
horesy that the war Of the rebellion
is ended, were committing the un-
pardonablo sin Of going by the thou
sand to listen TO these men. He
therefore deems IL necessary 10 en-
Tighten their deluded minds by show
ing them the dangerous character Of
the men and how they are imposing
upon the people and robbing them
of their hard earned dollars.
With reference to the personal in
situations Of dishonesty and coward
ice, we shall not speak until we can
speak with authority. Although !
thoroughly satisfied Of their utter
falsehood and fully conscious Of the
despicablo character OF this attack, il
would bo a departure from our set
tied policy TO speak positively in this
respect until we can speak from the
text which we shall do in due time.
This bitter personal attack upon a
man who has been chosen by the suf-
frages Of the national alliance to the
position he now holds, shows the des-
perate condition Of tho party in
whose interests this letter is written.
It's cowardice exhibits it's author in
his true character. Unable TO con-
trovert Che principles Of the alliance
platform, too cowardly TO attack the
ordor itself in tho state Of Kansas, he
seeks to incite discord in the ranks in
the interest Of the republican party
by the display Of the old threadbare
bloody shirt Had he read the senti-
ment OF the members of the alliance
in this state, as expressed in their
resolutions, he would have learned
that their opinion Of those men who
seek thus to perpetuate sectional hat
red in the minds OF the peopleis not
a very exalted one; and had be been
present at either one of tho three
great meetings whore the national
president spoke while in the state, he
would not have felt any great degree
Of confidence in the effect of the com
munication he has deemed it neces-
sary to inAict upon an indulgent pub
lie.
Let us glance briefly at the shall
lowness Of some Of the statements in
this letter. The motive of President
Polk in visiting our state and speak
ing TO tho people is said TO have been
a merCenary one He is said to be
after the hard earned dollars of the
Kansas farmers, The absurdity Of
this statement is apparent from the

has atlength made the long-hoped-for
discovery.
Mrs. Huntley confesses TO being an
expert investigator She says:
"The habit OF prylng grows on one, and the art
Of finding ont other peoples affairs Is developed
by practice. Many avenues Of Information lead
up 10 the man who sits In that fierce light that
beats upon the throne
Yet Notwithstanding the fact that
this particular investigator is devel-
oped by practice, and basks in the
fierce light that surrounds her sub
iect, she is forced to confess that lit is
a difficult matter TO find out just what
Mr.. Ingalls, is doing from day to
day" We doubt not that il was all
in the line Of the faithful perform
ance Of duty, yet it does seem TO us
as il in the lady's great zeal to en-
Tighten Kansas concerning the labors
OF their senator, that her "habit Of
prying" pressed close upon the
bounds Of propriety, and passed the
verge Of delicacy. Indeed, i do not
think that the most exacting of the
Senator's constituents called for
shadowing Of that gentleman which
brought TO light the fact that he
" rises Rt $50 o'clock, performing be-
fore breakfast two solemn Ceremo-
nies, that Of shaving himself and
writing to his WIFE" why should
this last ceremony be a solemn one0
CHANGING through nearly three solid
columns Of assertion that Senator In
gals is a man Of increasing indus
try" and that his life is one of "real
and increasing grind" we come upon
the discovery at first alluded 10.
This discovery is the result Of prying
into the Congressional dictionary,
where a clue was found in the fact
that the Senator is chairman Of the
District Of Columbia committee.
Mrs. Huntley say: GAS chairman Of
this committe, Senator Ingalls, finds
an important part of his v0rk, re-
quiring as IL does more personal at
tention than any Of the others" Here
we have it. Considering the needs
of the city of Washington, it is not
strange that our Kansas Senator
should have had little time to devote
to matters Of minor Importance. The
correspondent says;
at is claimed that Mr.. Ingalls, is familiar with
every foot Of District ground, having from time
20 tlme In the interest OF disputed measures,
walked over the greater part oft. IL is known
also that he is no lnirequent visitor nc the Office
OF the district commissioners, Of whom there are
three, and that he calls their attention to needed
repairs ON tho streets, which these specially de-
tailed and well.paid officials had failed to see.
Because Of his genuine interest in District i'm
proYements nc is, OF course, continually visited
by residents seeking redress or asking counsel.
AS the district has no representation, and every
charter for this or that Improvement is obtained
from Congress, the demands upon his time from
this source alone can better bo imagined than
counted"
Now to be sure, this discovery CON
corning Senator Ingalls, usefulness
and industry does not come TO us as
an overwhelming surDrise. for we

lleyed OF many hard earned dollar.
Among other schemes clip tho following from
the National EcOnOmist Of June "a ~. H. Tur-
ncr, secretary, has made arrangements by which
no can send alliance seals, preDaid, 10 any ad.
dress for 82.25."
When IL is known that the regular
retail price Of a good seal is from
$3.50 TO $500 without any express
charges, and when Secretary Turner
offers TO furnish the seal and prepay
tho charges TO any address in the
United States for 1926, this gigantic
scheme for the robbery OF the people
will be at once apparent. The writer
exhibits great sagacity in the expo
sure OF 80 stupendous a fraud.
In another place we give something
Of the record Of this yirtuous ex-gov-
ernor showing where he has stood in
former years, and that he himself
possesses quite a faculty for gather
ing in the shekels. We respectfully
refer our readers TO the article en-
titled "Some Tracings OF a Political
Nondescript."
The gist Of the entire letter, how
ever the one thing that Governor
Crawford desires to impress upon the
minds Of the people, is found in the
following paragraph:
The political part OF the scheme Of these
wOuld.bo reyOlutOnsts Is 10 divide the republl-
can vote and 10 capture states enough north
which, with the solid south, would restore the
democratic party 10 power
The National Democrat, one Of
the leading democratic papers Of
America, published at the city Of
Washington, and viewing the alliance
from the same geographical center as
the ex-governor OF Kansas, has this
TO say Of the order:
Whatever may be the real aims OF the organ
Izers and promoters Of the farmers alliance
I'm the southern states aud
these are doubtless various as tho per-
sOna needs and ambitions OF the men
engaged In the work-nO democrat should
al Nn uIta NI.uN tha oIit
ment Is everywhere looked ON with favor by the
republicans because OF the harm which II prom
lses 10 do TO tho democratic party The republl
cans think they see In the alliance agitation
force which will disrupt and perhaps destroy the
democracy and they are lending IL all the sup
port and sympathy In their power They excuse
themselves FOR so doing by asserting that what
they choose 10 call "bOurbOnism' win be abatod.
What they really mean is TO set up Malone
In every southern state,
There seems TO be a lack Of har-
mony in the Judgment and conclu-
sions Of the eminent observers who
assume to instruct the people upon
this vexed question that affords little
hope Of it's satisfactory solution. We
publish the governors letter entire
in another column, believing il to be
as good campaign literature for the
peoples party as can be procured.
The stupendous ignorance of the
concerning the subject Of his
letter, the manifest political purpose
that has prompted it, the prejudice
Of the writer, the falsehood and un-
fairness that appear upon the face Of
