ANOTHER ONE EXPLODED.

1t is being circulated around that eff
Weaver carries every State in which
he has an electoral ticket he can1ot be
elected" The idea they try to teach
is that he has electoral tickets in only
a few States. This is false. His
electors are working hard in every
State in the Union except South Caro-
lima, and there is a strong disposition
there to put a ticket in the field yet.
The reform element in South Carolina,
in order to hold the State Government,
promised support to the Democratic
National ticket. But since its platform
and candidates were made, they are
mighty sick in that State. Only four
States were not represented at Omaha,
and three of them are well organized
now and working for Weaver. Tell it
abroad that every State except South
Carolina has electors.

NONSENSE THIS.

An exchange tells of a Sub Alliance
that sent in it's charter because there
was a division on politics. That is
sheer nonsense. Every citizen has a
right to his own peculiar political
views. We have repeatedly called the
attention of the brethren to this fact.
An Alliance leader who teaches one
thing in off years and another during
campaign, is an object of pity. He
is not a safe nor consistent leader. But
the private member of the Alliance,
who, perhaps, has not taught but is
merely a pupil trying to learn, should
not be forced to think any particular
way. Convert him if you can, but
above all things do not fall out with
him simply because he doesn't see.
everything as you do.

THE GEORGIA ELECTION.

Georgia politics are an enigma this
year. From newspaper reports on
both sides we judged that the recent
campaign was a hard fought one.
Naturally it was expected that both
sides would poll a reasonably full vote.
Yet out of a voting population of
nearly or quite 100000 only about
300, 900 votes were cast. True the
votes have not been officially counted,
will not be until the Legislature meets.
It is equally true that the report of a
large Democratic majority is sent out
for effect IN other States Nobody
knows yet. Why only half a vote
was polled is a mystery to us In the
city of Atlanta there are Is, 900 voters.
Only about $500 voted, it is said. It
is believed that there will be a full
vote in the Presidential election, No
