sioneF---The Road in which the.
Populist must travel mapped
out--Bossism runs mad
The democratic party of Prowers
county has outlived its usefulness.
At least that is the conclusion which
its chairman has reached II has
therefore, together with its paper,
been transferred by the gentleman
to the men who will next fall try to
ride into fat office on an anti-high-
salary ticket. Two other gentlemen,
who claim to carry the populist vote
concealed about their persons, have
decided that as a separate organiza-
ton the populist party Of Prowers
county has outlived its usefulness,
and that the proper thing for it to
do is to support the independent
ticket, bearing at least one Of the
names Of the gentlemen aforesaid.
These men with several others who
have left the republican party for
reasons best known to themselves,
met on Tuesday evening at the Office
Of L. F. Blodgett- There was pre-
sent q. W. Butler Chairman of tine
democratic county central committee
and proprietor of the Sparks, J T.
Lawless editor Of the Sparks z Z.
Pike treasurer Of the county, A. E
Crawford, comfy superintendent Of
schools. C. Y. BedoI. N. S. Goodale,
D. Il. Dickson and W. A. Swift,
1t was then and there the purchase
Of the Sparks was agreed upon. The
consideration was: No democratic
ticket, S2O0 in cash and $1,000 more
If the independents elected their
commissioner. if not the paper TO re
vert to the old owner. 1t was
further understood that SIr. Lawless
was to give up any ambition he.may
have had to be a candidate for super
intendent Of schools, thus giving
Crawford a clear field Tor the nomi-
nation. The $500 in cash was
! pledged by the men present, Messrs.
Pike and Crawford being the most
liberal contributors. 1t was concced-
ed by all that it was right for them
TO do this, they having more ready
cash than Che other, and being strong
| ly feminist high salaries to county
officials, that being the war cry and
future platform Of the reformers.
It was agreed also that AIr. Law
less who has so long aud ably edited
the Sparks should not lose his Job
but be continued as editor un.
der the new management. In com
pliance with this trade and the agree
ments attending it, the name of AIr.
Butler as proprietor OF the paper was
this week removed and that Of the
Sparks Publishing Company substi.
tuted.
After some further discussion as to
who they would put on the ticket the
meeting adjourned
Since the above was written
one of the high contracting parties
has stated that there was a hitch in
the proceedings, and that the
cash payment was withheld until
satisfactory assuranc. could be given
that the goods could be delivered.
He did not say what the goods were
but he did say that the paper was
all right, so it was not that The
vigorous and general kick that is be-
ing made by the goods" wherever
the deal has become known, proba-
bly, accounts for the delay in closing
the transaction.
