Republicans in Texas have indorsed
the democratic nominee for governor,
and leading democrats of Kansas are
calling conference to put in operation
plan to defeat the peoples party state
ticket and elect the republican ticket
in that state.-Lamar (Mo.) Industrial

There is no excuse for well posted
man voting the CsmOcratic ticket. The
party leaders do not know where they
stand themselves on any question of
vital Importance. The honest voters
are dropping out of that hypocritical
party to vote the peoples ticket-Oma-

We will have no election frauds in
Tennessee if vigilance can prevent it.
Our men must watch both the voting
and the counting. You have under our
law the right to stand by the box and
watch the ballots as they are put in
and taken out. This our men intend to
do.-Weekly Toiler.
Wait for the iorce bill 1t is worse

Both are too much for common people
The moneycrats can afford to monkey
with such things, but the people want
more money, better prices for their
products and equal rights Vote for

The republican national committee,
1t is said, have arranged to send one
thousand speakers and one million dol
lars to Kansas this fall to carry the
state for their party ticket. And this,
too, where the democrats have no ticket
in the field and the peoples party is
going to pieces SO fast. Queer, isn't it?

"A graduated income tax should be
reimposed, so that the accumulated
wealth Of the few shall bear its share
of the government burdens. At pres
ent 50 per cent. of the wealth pays only
20 per cent. of the taxes, while 20 per
cent of the wealth chats YOU pays 80
per cent. of the taxes. Chicago has
men worth fifteen to twenty millions,
and yet not one of them is assessed over
s1Oo,0 900! Turn the animal around
awhile.-Southern Farm.
The peoples state executive COM
mittees of Arkansas, Tennessee and
Alabama have applied for federal super
visOrs at the coming election, being
fully satisfied that they can't have a
fair election without them. Democracy
in those states has set up a piteous
howl and is ranting about this foul
stain about to be inflicted on their fair
(?) fame" This same democracy steals
thousands of votes and intimidates ne
groes and white men, too, without any
fear of foul stain. Butler MOI

One of the most pathetic scenes of
life is to see poor men shivering in the

price of fuel goes up out of his reach
because he and his kind have voted coal
trusts into existence by having had
their prejudice and credulity imposed
upon by political sharpers and conf
dence mon in statesmen's clothing.

1t should be remembered that this

! farmer and common laborer exclusively
| 1t is movement of the people against

legitimate interests, labor, business and
professional, against the class that alb
serbs the product of muscular and men

lent, then our party will fall to pieces
with its own weight There are two
many people in our party yet who. with
tongue and pen, are conveying the idea
that no one is welcome in our ranks ex-

needs correcting. -Cincinnati Herald.
