In is said that Alliance leaders

Senator-elect Pfefer as the Alliance
or ''third party candidate for presi-

Mitchell, Of Topeka, remarked that
such thing would not be at all out
of question. Said he: ''Kansas is
going to be leader in the Alliance
movement The election of United
States senator and five congressman
before the party is year old is
greater victory than was ever
achieved by new party in any state
1t puts Kansas in front in this great
movement; and this state may be
called upon to furnish a presidential
candidate. IF Kansas names the
leader IN 1892 it is probable that it
would be the new United States
