TOPEKA, KAN, June 18.-President
b. II. Glover, of the farmers alliance,
who was in the city to-day attending
the hearing of the freight rate discus
sion before the board of railroad COM
missioners, in discussing the recent ac-
tion of the farmers and knights of Ia
Dor In organizing a new party, SAID:
THE organization of this new party
was necessity. 1t may become a
national party or it may perform its
work and disband. If either of the old
parties act on the demand of the ST.
Louis platform and give the farmers
and industrial classes the relief they
ask, its mission will be ended. If they
do not its principles are broad enough
to commend it TO the favor of enough
voters to control the politics of this
country. The republicans say that
when the time comes to vote the re-
publican farmers in Kansas will be
found voting the old ticket. The dem
Ocrats say that their party men Will
by them. Both reckon without their
hosts. l am in position to know and
l tell you that the industrial classes are
desperately in ernest this year. You
will see more stiff backs in Kansas
this year than has ever been seen be-
fore.
Il heard one of the old crowd say the
other day: Wait until Ingalls, gets
back and makes one of his old time
speeches and the old men will drop
back into the party lines l want to
say that if Mr.. Ingalls, was to 90 to
COwley county to make a speech the
farmers would not even go to hear him.
They are tired of speeches. Results
are what we are after. You hear it
said that Senator Ingalls, will get all
the old soldiers. l do not believe he
will get majority of soldiers. Soldiers
are something like the farmers-they
are after results.
Il see that they say that Mr.. ingalls,
will have the total vote in the senate
which means thirty-nine on joint bal
lot. He won't get any such thing. Sen
atOr King Of my own county for in
stance says he will resign before he
will vote for Ingalls,. There are num-
Der of others in the same frame OF
mind. If we succeed in electing ma
jority of the members of the lower
house the senators who are representa-
tives of the people cannot refuse to vote
against Mr.. Ingalls,. The time serving
politicians who are members of the
senate will be afraid to vote for HIM
and there are others who will not want
to. 1 believe that Mr.. ingalls, will dc
well if he gets more than One-half OF
the senator's"
How will HalloweIl run in the Sew
enth district?"
II think the republicans are banking
on him carrying large alliance vote
because he makes such oily speeches to
the farmers this year. But it won't
work with the farmers this year. Oh
course there will be a nominee of the
peoples party in the Seventh the same
as there will be in my district, the
Third, and every other district"
What about the secret conventions
the alliance and knights of labor
have been h9lding2"
There will be no nominations made
in this way. The committee meeting
here the other day was held with closed
doors just the same as a committee
meeting of any political party is held
but when the convention proper
is held 1t VIII be open and above board
In few of the counties the conventions
which select delegates to the state aD6
congressional conventions will be held
with closed doors because friendly
discussion as TO who will be the most
available man desired -
