the president Of the National Farmers Alliance, gives
to-day. in local interview, interesting outline Of
the work for this fall which has been laid out by the
managers OF this new venture in the field OF politics.
Colonel Polk Is as candid ne is light hearted in bis
prophecies and the rainbows he sees almost equal In
