to the action OF the democratic state

sible that the democrats who are
meeting at Herington today, will
simply demand regulate nominations,
and will ask the state con-
vention TO meet again to re-
consider its previous endorse
ment. The opposition on the part
of democrats to the peoples party
movement is extensive. On August

nomination, all for the purpose of
bringing about the defeat of jerry
