THE TALKY pops"
Fight Over the Endorsement OF
Newspapers. -


The Populist state central committee
had parrot and monkey sort of tim {
at its meeting yesterday. There was a
sort of fight on between Col. w. W.
Williams, editor of the Representative
who wanted to have his paper Endorsed
as the organ of the party. Ignatius
Donnelly, who is supposed to be prac,
ticaly the proprietor of the paper, gave
his moral support.
Tom Lucas, wild and woody, was op-
posed the Representative, Col. Williams
and Donnelly. He wanted a Popullst
daily, which, he said, is to be started i'll
st. Paul, made the official mouthpiece
of the party. He endeavored to show
that Col. Williams wasn't preaching
PopuliStic doctrine in the Representa-
tive, and called him down for favoring
fusion with old parties In local politics,
also booming Frank Haywood for alder
man, and otherwise dveiating from
Populistic code of ethics.
Then Cal Williams had his innings
and pleaded his case. Next n. c.
Westerfieid and George s. Garfield, who
are interested in the proposed daily,
put in bid for themselves. They had
circular Endorsing their paper they
wanted the committee to sign.
Tom Lucas said that if the Represent
alive was indorsed 1t would wind up the
Populist party in Minneapolis. Don
nelly declared that if the st. Paul daily
was indorsed. it would be an insult to
the Representative. He would not even
listen to proposition to indorse both
papers. Both he and Cal Williams de-
clared that the intention is to make the
Representative a dailV nansr
Finally. the whole discussion was
tabled, and the committee dispersed,
having really accomplished nothing.
The proposed st. Paul daily is to be-
called the Record, taking its name from
small publication which is to be alb
sorbed by the new concern. George S.
Canfield. of ''slow climbing the LADDER
fame, and Willard j. Hull, the Populist
lecturer, are prospective editors on the
sheet.
