A Talk With the Delegates.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 25.-The Kansas
delegation To the National Farmers AL
lance convention at Ocala, Fla, has re-
turned. They all speak in the warmest
terms OF the hospitality of the Southern
people, and are encouraged to renew
their organization and work in Kansas
'The call issued by John H. Rice for
national conference to organize a third
party was unauthorized by the meeting
at Ocala, and the Alliance North and
South will pay no attention to it" These
were the words of DIR. L. McLallin, edi-
tor Of the Alliance Advocate, official or,
gan Of the Kansas Alliance, on his return
here this morning. Hespoke with earnest
ness and as one having authority to speak
;: for the great organization he represented
: : "We are not ready to consider third
party movement yet," continued DR..
McLallin. ut is too early. and such a
movement is premature. First, We want
relief from the burdens that depress ag-
riculture and make slaves out of the men
I who produce that which the people CON
sumo. We want to elevate agriculture
and secure legislation which will throw
: protection around this most important
. of all industries in this country"
q DR.. McLallip said he found the colored

10 The Senatorial Contest.
to Never was the Alliance so frml
ee united in Kansas as at the present time
ty The leaders who attended the Oca'
NJ convention have returned and are look
i'll ing after the senatorial contest, whic
by Every effort possible will be made b
e. the Republicans to re-elect Ingalls,, an
On this fact alone has put the leaders c
ss the Alliance on guard, and every move
nv ment will be watched from this dat
Ii until the ballot is hal. The situation
il simply this: The Alliance has ninet
members. or seven more;than enough
ed elect. There is no possible way for II
gals to be reelected without Alliane
votes, and Chairman Chase states pos
lively that there is not traitor in tt
peoples party camp. The membt
who disregards his instructions an
casts a vote for Ingalls, will fin
very warm reception awaiting hlI
le- when he returns home. So bitter al
some of the leaders Of the peoples part
A against Ingalls, that they gave vent
'ne their honest sentiments soon after tt
M election, when they declared that the
ate did not propose to make such tigl
la and then lose the fruits of victory, an
that the man who accepted a nomn
,at ton and secured an election as an ant
err Ingalls, man, and who should vote f
rd- ingalls, "would never see his wife again
nd It is openly charged that Ingalls's ma
ISL ayers are trying to buy Alliancemen, al
aid that in one case, in Washington count
ed $4,000 was offered member provided
,od would vote for Ingalls "at the prop
oes time" If Allianeemen should vote +
CIV. him they would be branded as traito
fr and as having been corrupted by In
hat all's henchmen, so that it is difficult
ON figure any chance for Ingalls,. In t
,rt Republican membership of the Sens
,al- and House Ingalls, will fail to secu
hnt them all. Three Senators and two me
nv. bers openly declare that they will T
lltv support him, but stand ready to vote
ish- any other Republican. But Shot
ire. Ingalls, withdraw, the Republicans cot
K not unite on any other man, and
,ore situation to them would be no better.
ori Who the Candidates Are.
Undoubtedly the strongest candld
|. to day is John F. Willis. He was h'
cred by the National Alliance at DC
Es- by his election to the position of natl
al lecturer to succeed Ben Tyrrill. l
has greatly strengthened Willis in K
sas, and makes him at once the lead
dcre candidate for United States senat

Back of him is the machinery OF the
