THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT
To BE Dropped for the Prcscnt-southern
Farmers Democrats.
By telegraph to the Dispatch.

TOPEKA. KAN, December 29.-The fol-
lowing interview with President Frank
McCrath, published to-day would Indicate
that the alliance has tor the present de-
cided 10 drop the third party movement.
He SAYS -" The agitation IN the South over
the Lodge bill precludes the possibility OF
any independent movement 81 this time.
While ia Ocala / investigated the condi-
tions as thoroughly "a my limited stay
would permit and ! came to the conclusion
that more time was needed. IL will come
about in time, but the time - not TINS
year.
A delegation of Kansas editors when
has returned from tour through the
South having made a thorough lnyesti-
CATION Of the farmers movement there,
found that a large majority of the south
ern farmers believe In working for their
reforms within the Democratic party. IN
Louisiana. for example, the editors found
few. il any, advocates of the third party
movement. The president OF the alliance
In that State-Thomas l.. Adams, secretary
Of the State Board of Agricultural con-
versation with . correspondent who &C
companied the Kansas delegation said ;
The political conditions in this state pre-
clude the possibility of an independent
political movement at this time with US.
II is a battle for white supremacy, and any
movement which will divide the white peo-
ple politically will not find favor.
The editors found that Sir. Adams ex,
pressed the sentiment pretty generally held
bv southerners. and for this reason they
also concluded that il would be impossible
70 do anything with the movement at the
present time.
