republican farmers from tue alliance,
aud, If the FIRST poll of the state was
not wonderfully defective, the popu-
Isis VIII win $50 caHter- fn Shawnee
county. where the republicans have
the largest majHity in the state, the
completed poll shows Il large people 5
party increase.
Four years aga Harrison received
3, 900 majority ia the county, and two
wears ago the republican majority over
the confined COMPOSITION WAS about
POO. In order TO show the bruggart
claims of the republicans, this district
will illustrate. Curtis, the republican
OTniuee for congress, claims this
county 10y 5000 minority and the
republican leaders declare that it viii
give him +. geo. At democratic head
quarters Saturday 1t was stated That
Wharton, the peoples party NOMINEES
for congress, would poll the entire
/ democratic vote and the entire German
vote, part of which las previously
voted the republican ticket. In order
to win in t-e district, CurLts' minority
must he 1000 in the county, ana TIE
first poll shows that he will have great
/ di9iculty in even carrying it.
What is true of the Fourth congress
/ ionaI district is-equaliy true of all The
others. The democratic vote viii be
! thrown ia body to the popuiist
/ ticket. In fact the democrats seem
10 enjoy the opportunity which the
Q a
/ for voting the Weaver electoral and
Populist state ticket. This state Is
more thoroughly uuteo on the silver
issue than any-uther. 1t would have
/ been 'Ily0embarrassing for the
/ democrats to have conducted an ug-
/ gressive fight for Cleveland but as it
4 is the name Of tie Gray Gables iettor
writer is never mentioned in the cam
paign. The sole dnty of the democru-
tic central committee is to look after
| those democrats whu are reported as
oP?osed 10 the peoples party state
ticket. As Il consequence it finds lit
tie work to do. As tile camp7igu pro
crosses it becomes all the more eyi-
dent that the peoples ticket will receive
the FIJI democratic vote and that nm
less there is 81 change in the Wall
street policy of the party a democratic
Organization ia Kansas viii be impos-
sihle.
Il is the hone of the poPulist leaders
to absorb the democratic party la this
state and they are succeeding to snch
ain extent That t3e old time leaders are
beginning to get badly scared. In
nearly every school district there are
several democratic leaders who have
burned their bridges behind them.
These leaders look for the same relief
from the peoples party and declare
that the time is quickly coming when
the south ana west will unite on free
silver and tariff reductions. The pee
PIES party is nominating throughout
the state for the legislature men who
represent this idea and the coming
legislature which is certain to be con-
lioled ~ The new party, VIII he com
= posed of able and conservative men
who Will elect - successor TO SeuItUr
Perkins from their own ranks.
In tile first Congressional district
peoples nominations have been made
and with one exception the chances
are decidedly in favor of the poplHist's
II lminees. The First is the only dis
trict -where tbs peoples party is in
grave danger OF losing. and that is
because democrat is in the race upon
whom the peoples party leaders can
not unite. When King WAS withdrawn
. g
Moore, the democratic candidate, the
strIis,t-out democrats in the First
expected the withdrawal of Close. peo-
Iple'S, in favor of Carroll, democrat.
Carroll is a national banker ANA the
lpco2le-s central committee has an
nounced that it wouli lie better to lose
the district than TO Joopardize tI;e rest
Of tile state by C.,rg0Is Endorsement.
In the Third district JEFF Hudson.
the populiat nominee, is IL democrat
who went of with the people's party
on the silver question, He is having
every thing hjs own way anal Governor
Humphrey, his competitor, will be the
worst defeated mau in tile state. Many
of the republicans in this district are
openly lighting him, while Hudson
solidIy mites the opposition
Wharton, the populist NOMINEES in
the Fourth, Thoroughly UHites tie
opposition 10 repuhlic.tnism. Tie is an
e2l-demncrut but is thoroughly identi-
fed with the peoples purity
In the Fifth district there are three
tickets ia the field, bat Davis, populist
candidate, had 6,oOo plurality in the
district two yeurs agn and the poll
which has just been taken slows that
the peoples party is stronger there
t!utn evf.r before.
The sixth district, with its purely
agricultural reputation, is aH ONE way
and Congressman Baker vill have "a
walk AWAY.
Tile hardest fight iu the state is
