electoral fusion with the Democrats
and attacks Chairman Jones 1t says:
THE Democratic state executive COM
mittee has passed resolutions which
bear the appearance of willingness to
be fair and reasonable. The real pur-
pose is to try to make a proposition
which no self respecting Populist
could entertain for a moment. then
when such proposition is Indignantly
rejected to go before the people and
try to make it appear that the Popu-
lists are not honest because they re-
Jected overtures looking to the corpora
ton. There is not a Democrat in the
universe smart enough to catch the
ordinary South Carolina Populist in
such trap as this. They are hereby
formally notified of that fact"
The article further says that Chair
man Jones is a strong representative
OF the worst type of bourbon Democ-
racy. and would rather vote for Cleye-

mn and Brice, than support Byran or
any genuine reform Democrat. Jones
is supposed to be the mouthpiece of
Byran. If Jones is expressing the sem
tments of Byran. then the latter is
proving a man unfit for the Presiden-
tial chair. If this young statesman's
head is becoming swelled on account
OF the honors accorded him. he should
be promptly reminded that the same
forces which caused that swelling can
do that which will unswell it, and
very little provocation is needed for
doing it. He is by TO means the ONLY
man in America whom genuine re-
formers are willing to vote for
