q temporary organization, and began TO
shape matters for the issuance Of d man

A correspondent of the United Press
found Dr. Macune in his room and that
gentleman made the following statement:
Il withdrew from the convention hall
because the national committee of the
peoples party have come here and are
attempting to secure the control OF the
alliance. They have used foul means and
have gone so far as to make up q slate
of officers. Considering that these men
were in control of the convention and
had determined to carry out their meas
ures, contrary to all alliance traditions
and principles, I withdrew from the hall
and shall remain out as long as such meth
of the alliance. The delegates who left
the hall felt the same as | did about
the matter"

DR. Macune is preparing an address
which will be signed by delegates from
every southern state, and which sets forth
the position he assumes, and winch was
made necessary by the action of the conVen-
ton. President Louckes represents what IS
designated by many of the delegates as tn
nolifical fin elton Of the third party and under
his leadership they think he will endeavor
to swing the organization, as body, INTO
line with the leaders of the third party, and
the non-political standing of the order Will
be lost.
Congressman Otis, of Kansas, in second
nr the nomination Of Louckes, said:
aft Macune is elected president we of the
west will have to withdraw from the ma
tional order, for we have had enough OF the
purchased allies of southern democracy.
1t was after these utterances, when were
loudly applauded by the friends Of Loucke'
that General West, of Mississippi. with
drew Macune's name from before the con
vention West went on to say that while
he and his colleagues from Mississippi would
not withdraw from the order, they would
retire from the hall and he left
Ben Terrell, Of Texas, answered Otis's at
tack on Macune and said that his (Otis s.
utterances would drive 10000 men out OF
the alliance in the south.
