who will utter slanderous statements against

nounced Populists who vote for Republicans.
Guthrie this evening issued an address to tho
Populists in reply to the newspaper attack. He
asks Populists IF they will, on tho eve Of an
election. desert their principles and be ailured
into the camp OF Mark Hanna and be politically
slaughtered"
He tells Populists II they elect Repu blcan
to the Supreme Court they will give the Repub-
licans majority Of the Judges. and then every
Populist will hang his head In shame. Guthrie
says his personal candidacy gives him little
concern. but the future status of the Populist
party gives him the deepest concern. In con-
clusion he says:

OF professional of1ce seekers, but . band OF

shivers chasing up and down my spinal column.
Nearly all voters have got their minds made up
on the main issue. so that any changes which
