CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-S. M. Scott, as
sistant state lecturer, addressed large
meeting at this place on the 9Th inst.
His speech was listened to with great at
tention and was productive of much good.
The explanation Of the business part Of
the Alliance was very complete, and as a
result some of our best farmers are al
ready shipping their wheat to Kansas
City for storage by the Higgs Commits
sion Company. An effort will be made
to have Brother Scott return and deliver
us another lecture in the near future.
A number of Alliance men say his
speech was productive of more good
than any ever delivered in Independence.
That part of his address devoted TO the
sub-treasury plan was especially inter
esting. Fraternally, J.H. RIToH1E.

To E0ery Patriot:
Now is the time to show your mettle.
Kentucky votes on August Sd. A vic
tory or even a large vote there will do
us more good in other states than hun
dreds of speeches and hundred thou
sand documents.
Chairman H. Z. Taubeneck Is on the
ground and writes me:
FRANKFoRT, KY, July Sd, 1891.
The outlook here is extraordinarily good.
The state central committee met yesterday
and every one is enthusiastic. also met
our candidate for governor-he is sapractical
farmer and was president of the State
Farmers Alliance for five years. He is ac-
quainted in every county of the state and
has splendid abilities as an organizer.
About one third of the state is already or
ganized on the Kansas plan and all the
state will be organized by July 10th. A
man who has not been here can form no
opinion as to the extent of the firm foot
hold our party has in this state. The demo-
Gratis are entirely unorganized. Urge every
one that possibly can to help US at once,
either with money or by sending speakers.
II our friends knew the true state of affairs
here, they would crowd into the state 30 as
to have share in the victory. Two thous-
sand dollars 10 enable US to pay speakers
expenses will carry the state and secure
victory. H. Z. TAUBENEoK.

money you can and forward It 10 H. E.
