j. FL. McDarrow, of Tennessee, a
well known State Populist leader, in
ali impassioned speech demanded
that the Populist party members be
given better representation on the
committee on resolutions. Only one
Popu.ist, he declared, Marion Butler,
of North Carolina. was now on the
committee. The Populists have

list of names to the secretary they
would be placed on the committee.

secretary but had not been read.

Nebuchadnezzars in this work yet,
but they DO not cut much of figure.
If you will just read along little
further you will find that Nebuchad
nezzar found his level all right. For
seven years he had to eat grass We
