WEAVER TALKS HOPEFUL.
FLOCK TO HEAR HIN
DURING HIS CAMPAIGN OF
EDUCATION

his home at Des MOines, To-, and WheT
he reached the hotel lie was travel
stained and gium. He was assigned
a room and went Immediately to it
He was locked in all morning with
Chairman Taubeneck, who, when re-
porters called, appeared at the door
and announced that Gen. Weaver
positively declined to see a represen-
tative of the press. At u O'Clock Mr..
Taubeneck and his charge started fol-
the dining room for dinner. They
were accOsted by an importunate re-
porter for an afternoon paper. Gen.
Weaver brushed by the reporter in
high dudgeOn. His brilliant black
eyes Elazed with fury.
The Peoples party must be trying
to hide something" tentatively ven
tuEed the reporter while darting
AROUND the presidential candidate
like the agile martin around the hawk
"Get out of my way rOared the
General in furious rage. III you
don't want to be insulted, sir, or treat
ed even worse, quit asking imperti-
nent questions" saying which Gen.
Weaver strobe into the dining
room, leaving the reporter to wonder
what he had said TO give offence.
At , O'Clock Gen. Weaver took n
from his room refreshed in body and
in more communicative mood.
The only thing that have to tell
about my western tour said he to a
representative, s'since
leaving here last month ! have been
through Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming,
Montana, idaho, Washington, Oregon
and California. I am as confident of
carrying each and every one of those
states as that the election occurs. l
am more impressed than ever before
that an OminOUs spirit of unrest is
abroad in the land. The people know
that there is something terribly wrong,
and in sheer desperation they are turn
ing from the corrupt old parties to
ours for relief. 1 never saw such
crowds in my life as greeted me at
every one OF my stopping places. /
have spoken to acre after acre of
people since 1 left here, and all along
my route of 5000 miles the stations
were crowded with crowds of voters to
cheer me ON. At nearly every station
1 had to stop and make Il short talk.
OF course that element of Americans
who depend on the metropolitan daily
papers for news know nothing of the
ovation the peoples party
met with through me as its represent
alive. The Associated Press and the
daily papers are tools for monopoly and
and contTiviug to blind
the people as to the popularity of our
They can't afford TO do
and 1 expect nothing better
from them. There will be an awaken
ing ana a startling shock in NOvem-
Der, however, and the people of GER
tain portions OF the country who are
being deluued by the metropolitan
press will be pretty apt to be heard
from. 1 am no rainbow chaser-I
never was in my life, but you mark my
words now, and report me correctly,
The electoral votes OF the eight west
ern states 1 have named will be cast
for me. Why, in Nevada only one
electoral ticket is III the field, -Four
out of five votes in Colorado will be
cast for me. California is as sure as
Nevada, and L have just received IL
letter from Gov. PennOyer, assuring
me that Oregon is safe. There is no
doubt III The world as to the result i'll
Wyoming, Montana, Washington and
Idaho. These states, you see, will
give me am aggregate vote OF thirty.
''What do you think of the outlook
in the SOuth?'' was asked.
LAS to that, replied Gen Weaver,
with an air of great caution, II am
yet unprepared to speak. L have very
frankly expressed my opinion as TO
the mountain states, and 1 did it be-
cause have been through them and
know what L am talking about.

there to Texas and thence on through
the other southern states. When

press an opinion with regard to the
situation there. 1 am satisfied of one
thing, however, and that IS we will carry
Alabama. tell you, they can't beat
US out OF it. And, from all can
learn, think our chances are fairly
good in Texas
''What about that Gresham matter,
Generalp''
This question caused Gen. Weaver
to cease talking so glibly. He frowned
and looked glum for an instant, and
then said: lit would be manifestly
improper for me to discuss the subject
of Judge Gresham's supposed attitude
in this canvass. I have nothing to
say either about his reported determi-
nation to take the stump for the PEG
pies party, OF the letter ne wrote me
after my nomination by the Omaha
convention.
