million OF voters who cast their suffrages at
the last Presidential election for the Peoples
party ticket whose platform called for gov

The organizations represented in the Ameri-

approaching 100000. At its last session the
Federation took radical ground on the tele-

The Republicans, being in the minority, as
party have less responsibility on their hands

they have not as much dread of the '.pater-
nalism" Of the thing as their Democratic
brethren-have for years advocated some
form OF postal telegraphy, and, on the other
hand, there are certain others who Will vio-
