Assaults of this character have been

aching teeth. After she bad been

TO COMBINE PARTIES
STATE PROHIBITIONISTS AND
POPULISTS TO COALESCE.
Their Aims Somewhat Similar and
Their Combined Strength Would
Be Considerable

Brobon, editor of the Reform, of this
city, who was prohibition nominee for

could unite on a common platform;
that the prohibitionists had gained
considerably in this state since the
party was organized and the populists
have also gained but the latter now
need a moral force and leadership
which the prohibitioLists could give it.

hibition party in Wisconsin, is max
ing arrangements for i conference be-
tween the populists aad prohibitionists
