independent movement this year be-
cause Tillman will appoint honest Dem

and fair count.

resign the craftsmanship of the party
1T least until the May convention.
Congressman Shell scored the Legis-
]aturs for what it didn't do and pr .
dicted that the next campaign would
oe hot one. Issues that were neglected
will be revived and those who helped to
Kill them will be left at hone.
He thought the "oppos ton" would
axe some man out Of the Farmers
| Movement ranks and run him against
| Gilman but he felt certain that the lat
Ter would be elected withOdta great
deal of trouble. He believed the ALL
auce was holding its own in the State
and that there was no chance Of third
party.-Record.
