SIMPSONS STORY OF HIS CAREER
"I'll tell you what he has done in Kansas
We joined the alliance as a non~partisau
organization. We soon found that re-
duction of 10 cents on pitchforks didn't
remedy all our wrongs-that there was
something deeper than all that. We read
oyer the alliance constitution again. We
found that one purpose of the order was to
instruct the laboring classes in the science
of economical government. We hunted
that up in the dictionary and
found that the science of economical
| government means politics. So we went
| into politics. Laughter and applause
| On July % last | was one Of the delegates
to a convention at Great Bend. What are
you going to doP they asked, make {
nomination. What partyp No party
the alliance There were ninety delegates
A REMARKABLE CONVENTION.
"The Kansas City papers said it was thu
most remarka BILE convention in the history
| of the state; that only one man had on
/
in the convention. When you get a oonven
| ton in Kansas without q lawyer in it, thu
millennium is near at hand. Laughter anc
applause Not that we have anything
against the lawyers. Laughter Take
| bedbug: examine him, even with a micro
scope; there's nothing ugly or repulsiv
about him. It's the Internal business he
engaged in that we object to-" lProlonge
laughter aud applause
The sockless statesman then gives an in
teresting account OF his own successft
campaign and of the alliance success ger
orally in Kansas. "And you can do ths
here if you will, said he. There is not
district in the United States that the labo
