game is up. that power is slipping out
of their hands, and whose unhappiness
is commensurate with the calamity that
confronts them. The truth of the mat
ter IS that what they expected to follow
the choice of four Populist electors to
fill up the Democratic ticket, that is, a
breaking away of voters from the Peo-
pies party, has not transpired, and in
consequence they are greatly enraged
and sorely perplexed. The report is
groundleSs; dissatisfaction is not only
not growing, it has not even sprouted.
And it wont sprout Why should III?
P0pullsts are pretty good politicians.
They will vote their own electoral
ticket, and they have too much good
sense to kick against independent DEM
ocrats. or Republicans. supporting a
portion of their ticket. You see.o ne
of the tasks to which the Populists
have set their hands is the smashing of
the Republican machine, and they are

to find others ready to come far enough
out of their way TO do the job with neat
ness and dispatch. There is no more
real ground for this claim of Repub-
lican newspapers than there is for that
made by some of their candidates for

been that they are going to be elected.
Why. some of these community poll
ticians. with notion in their heads
that they are rising statesmen, really
seem to think their election certain in
districts where there is 10 necessity of
holding an election, except for the form
and legality of the thing. The result is
already known to majority of the
voters, and Republicans who have been
nominated with only one apparent OBJ
ject, the reelection of G. X. Davis. will
split their shirts in rage after Nov. s
because they were so easily deceived
by the Republican press clamor that
this movement for reform was all wind.
There are plenty of districts where a
Republican has no more chance than a
house-fy in gale of wind"
How do you account for such con-
dition?"
''At bottom it is owing to change in
the public mind, brought about by two
main causes; first, a change in indus
trial conditions through the modern
combine and syndicate, and the dis
placement of old ideas by the new
thought of the cranks and Missionaries,
SO-called, OF the Alliance and the labor
organizations. 1t is going to be made
effective by unifieation of these forces
with the honest and progressive demo-
cratic element in this state. for the eX-
press and unconcealed purpose OF
breaking down Republican rule in
Minnesota and the nation at large.
Very naturally, Republicans object,
they call it a plot fors
control OF The spoils' and AN infamou
conspiracy
We'll. Populists read the address of
the Republican committee, bristling
with such choice gems and frantic eX-
hortatiOn, then throw it into the gutter
and keep right OH in the middle of the
road There Is really nothing in the
nat ure of q plot or conspiracy on the
part of. the people. The conspirators
are the rings, combines and political
brigandS whose powers are going to be
paraiyZed at the polls next month.
That's the trouble with the party rep
resented by Jamison, BiXby IL Co., in
st. Paul, and that jabberiug
Victim Of Alcoholism,
Col. Plummer, OH the stump. The peo-
pie are laughing everywhere at that
address. Incorporate in language, alb
Surd i'll assumptions, 1t IS everywhere
taken as a confession of defeat for the
God.- and-morality-o only safe honest
and-p&triotic party of the spoils, by the
SpOils and for The SpOiiS.'
why, the Minneapolis Journal folks,
who print an independent newspaper
between elections), sent out great bum
dies of extras containing that address,
and in Que town L walked OH a carpet
of the hypocritical thing from the hotel
to my meeting place. The address
says of the determination of the people
to have representation in the national
legislature: 1t is an attempt to de-
prive this great commonwealth of her
vote and rights in the selection of a
president and of her rightful share in
the national legislation Not so; it is
the first and necessary step towards the
ultimate overthrow of a political party
that. protesting to be the friend of
labor, leg.slates in the interest of mo-
nopolistS. Ii is righteous combina
ton to rid this great commonwealth of
an organized hypocrisy with the most
capaciOuS stomach for office and cap
itaistic plumber this world has ever
seen. 1t is a very proper and highly
approved attempt TO secure to a large
majority OF the people of this great COM
monWealth their right to defeat Tor tie
office of president one who secured his
nomination by and with the support of
great railroad corporations and an order
known as the Il. .. p, which, being in
terpreted. means, Gould OF Official
Parasites and whose policies are not
designed to promote the general well
fare. 1t is an attempt to secure to a
majority Just and rightful share in the
national legislature For. be it remem-
bered, that at the last state election the
Republicans were i'll minority of
$4,000. That address represents a waste
of gray matter of the brain. white paper
ana much money taken from honest in
dustry without an equivalent.
I'VE are on the threshold of a newer
and better Democracy; the people are
getting opinions Of their own. The Re
publican party leaders have taken po-
sition on our line of march. with 10
vision of progress, but only record be-
fore which we are expected to PROSTATE
ourselves. But we are going 10 put
them to rout, capture their works, bust
the machine ana then-the way will be
clear for more conqUeStS.
just add. if you please, that the
GLOBES splendid and effective fight in
this campaign against the combined
tyranny of Republicanism and our
greedy modern commercialism is every
where applauded.
LO A GOOD SOLDIER.
