Was something more than mere intro

1t is reported that populist leaders
have decided to make onemore effort
to build up their party by formation
OF "nOn-partisan' silver league clubs
throughout counties they have
any show. The leaders hope to sue
coed by dropping all other issues ex-
cept free silver. To carry out this
program populist lecturers will hold
meetings in the counties, but they
will be called non-partisan first, and
everybody who fayors silver will be
asked to Join the league, Just like the
''non-partisan farmers alliance" was
organized some years ago. 1t is a
clever political move in the west, but
will hardly prove successful a second
time-especially on this issue, because
men OF all shades of political belief
are friendly to silver, and the only
hope for silver legislation must come
through either the republican or
democratic parties. Or, in other
words, through a party that has a
national existence. There is more
hope for silver men to secure what
they want by working to obtain the
majority and consequent control of
the republican party, and then shape
legislation to suit them. At least
that's the way we look at it, and we
are satisfied the work of such men as
Senator Pettigrew and Congressman
Picker is in that direction.

A unanimous demand goes up from
The republican press OF South Dakota
for clean men and clean methods,
and the politicians will do well to
heed the demand. The party of Lin

pie, despite individual corruption in

party that fails to keep close to the

himself or itself in front of an ava
lanche that will bury either in eternal

South Dakota announcing his desire
