we fail TO meet the expectation of the
people il will result in our demoraliZa-
ton" Such was the frank opinion of the
situation that Senator Faulkner ex-
pressed to me as he sat at his desk at
headquarters.
''All we want, - continued he. earnestly,
lis such action as will arouse the en-
thusiasm of a party furnished with all
the means and appliances for conducting
an aggressive campaign and the lack of
it makes the subject of the campaign one
OF grave doubt as TO the result.
The committee has gone in to the most
detailed work. | am satisfied, from what
we have learned, that with a redemption
of our pledges to the peOple-the repeal of
the force bill and the Sherman act, and
with the passage of a tariff bill. reasona-
bic and on line with the pledges made,
we shall retain control of the next
House"
What figure are the popdlists going TO
cut IN the result Have they gained
strength since 1922"
My observation of the matter has
been that the populists are not gaining in
numbers in the states that they were
strong in '92, and that their strength has
not increased any in the othersstates.
The elections Just passed are an agreeable
surprise in this respect. IL is a question,
even, whether they have increased at all
in Nebraska, where they were supposed
TO be gaining rapidly
What will the third party movement
amount to, that is, the labor movement;
will 1t seriously affect the old partiesl"
Third parties are usually uniform in
their effect upon the two great parties,
but they always draw from the majority
party, the reason of which, / suppose, is
the element of dissatisfaction which
always enters into the origin of such new
| movements, for generally newly-applied
principles. such as the old parties have
often made the issue of a successful cam
palgn, are the means of causing diSsatis-
faction among certain number of peO-
pie, who do not seek at once to change
( their allegiance from the one to the other
of the old parties, but gravitate natur-
( ally into some new, but trancient, move
ment. Disatfectants go, as it were from
one party TO another by means of a third
| party. The third party holds toward the
| two old parties the relation of a step, and
they walk up or down, as it happens
! That one party dominates the other. But
| generally 1t is progressive move.
LAS for the populists, | believe that if
any one will take the trouble TO examine
| carefully the results Of the views of these
| people as embodied in the bills which
! their representatives in congress have
| presented, he will be convinced that the
| government of the United States, in the
| hands of such leaders, would soon become
wrecked. They would appropriate so
much money tnat soon the printing press
would be brought into requisition to turn
out money, with the result that it soon
! would become worthless.
senator, what effect will the indus
trial disturbance have upon the parties !'
In manufacturing centers it may have
| a temporary effect to the injury of the
party in the majority. I have SO much
! confidence in the good, common sense of
the working man, in his honesty of pur-
| pose and intention and in his patriotism,
| that | believe after sober second thought
he will be brought to a realization of the
