will probably 60 from New York. Ben
Terrin will be another shining light In
the convention hall
The party has determined to make It's
nominations on July 4, and to insure
this Chairman E. II. Taubeneck, of the
national committee, will call the conven.
ton to order in the Coliseum building
on July for the purpose of efecting a
temporary organization only. After
the welcome by Mayor Bemis and the
naming Of officers the gathering will
resolve itself into a mass meeting and
listen to speeches from all the leading
men present. Now as to the platform,
/ can tell you good deal more than !
can about candidates." said one of the
New York peoples party enthusiasts.
THAT will be simply a reaffirmstion of
what was so well stated at the ST. Louis
conference. There was no equivocation
then and there will be none now. AS
to candidates, it is possible that we
may surprise the older parties by nom
mating a man who now represents a
coast state in the senate and who is I'M
derstood TO be a republican. He is i'm
mensely wealthy, but we have been
given to understand that he conceded
heartily with our views on financial
and industrial topics
But we have Gov Tilman. of South
Carolina, also in view. We want and
will not be long in centering on the
strongest name in the field. The south
favors Congressman Livingston, but 1
believe he is too good a democrat to
pose as candidate of the new party.
Livingston is politician first and an
alliance man afterward.
''Then, if the women suffragists final
ly nominate their candidates, we will
be ready for q high old political time,
with candidate and platform to suit
the tastes of the most fastidious"
This is what Chairman Dickie wrote
about the consolidation of prohibition
and alliance interests:
There is no prospect Of consolidation Of prohi-
btion and alliance interests for the campaign Of
1862 This Goes not grow out OF any lack OF inter
est on the part OF the prohbitiouists in many of
the reforms for which the peoples party stands
Many believe that we are better anti-monop-
oily party than they. That is, there can be
no industrial reform while the saloon is In the
saddle The saloon breeds the purchasSble
voter and is the convenient clearing house for
the Doodle politician Organized wealth can
buy its way'to power so long as the saloon con-
trolls political parties The peoples party ct It's
St. Louis conference manifested no disposition
to indorse the principle of prohibition and prao-
tically puts itself IN the field as third among
the parties proposing 70 divide the whisky vote
Of the nation Many OF its leaders, and have
no doubt majority OF It's rank and file, believe
IN the principle and policy Of prohibition but
the party contains a minority whom the major
ity dare not offend and who viii not consent
that their party organization shall be
placed in an attitude OF open hostility to the
liquor trafn It Is this attitude OF the peoples
party which renders union with the prohibi-
Ionists impossible. Added 10 this are some
financial vagsries which do not commend them
selves to the average prohibitionist as either
SAFE or practicable. The time may come, and
probably will come, when the various reform
organizations viii be able TO unite their forces,
but that time will come only by process Of
dwelling up TO the highest standard rather than
the reverse The prohibttionist party stands
first Of ell for pohibition. with its consequent
emancipation of political affairs from saloon
domination Il stands as well for a more COM
pete control CT corporetions for legislation that
shall protect and elevate labor, and last. though
by no means least, IL believes IN placing the
ballot in the hands OF women For these prir-
cip3cs II has commended in the past and II VIII
desert none OF them In tbs future

All Of which may be summed up in the
words of great but obscure prophet:
