Questioned in regard to Mr.. Breiden-
thaIs statement in a, Sunday paper re-
f1ecting upon the middle-of-the-road work.
ers RS, IN H!, Kansas. Mr.. Breidenthal said:
Breidenthal We have always been the
closest of friends. ! sympathize with him
In In ms present servitude to Democracy in
him if he would give me his bank commits
sioner position to do so. As a member of
the Popullst national executive committee,
with which body he is debarred from act
ing because as chairman of the sold-out
Peoples party state committee of Kansas,
he Is forced to boom Democracy and do
me bidding OF Johnson, overmyer, John
Martin and Atwood, or resign that chair
manship Mr.. Breidenthal has repeatedly
sad to me, even as late as last week,
that my course is consistent and that his
heart Is with me. He said much. in my
presence. to Mr.. Reed. of Georgia, who
accompanied Mr.: Watson here.
People who do not obliterate the past
Will well remember that on his return from
ST Louis Mr.. Breidenthal gave out an
interview in which he said that the Pop
ullsts of Kansas could not, and should
mol, trade off Watson for Sewall. He went
to the Abilene convention with me pledged
to make a fight against the selection OF
sewail electors in defiance to the St. Louis
fight was made on him for reelection as
chairman, by the same gang that was
there to sell out Watson, he was in
quandary and talked freely about the COM
plication TO me.
Il told Mr.. Breidenthal then that I would
make the fight, overpowerng as the op-
position seemed. and stand by ii: and said
to him in about these words: John. pro-
tect yourself against the infamous as
sault upon you, and see to it that they
do not beat you for chairman. The rest
of us will look out for the Watson electors
In Kansas, no matter what may be the
action of this convention
John thanked me and returned to the
fight TO save his own head. The only sur
prise to- me is that he would now eat his
own words, by impugning the motives of
the loyal Populists who are standing by
Watson in Kansas, when he has repeated
ly said openly that our cause was consist
ent, and Just such a course as he would
pursue if his hands were united
Il never believed that any crowd OF nest
ers could induce Mr., Breidenthal to sell
all the principles. his national nominee,
everything. to hold place as wet nurse
for the dirty crowd of Kansas Democrats
who are running him in this campaign as
though he is but piece of putty"

"Plenty of Money But Not Enough
of Votes.
"This is the situation confronting the
republican party in this campaign" said
r. P. Allison, attorney of New Rockford
yesterday. "The very least thing that
concerns the republican managers is to
get money to carry on the campaign.
Ia other great national campaigns the
party bosses, by hard work, always sue
ceeded in raising vast Gums of money for
places where it would do the most good.
But IN this fight the easiest thing OF all
is to get money. The greet corporations
and money kings are running over each
other to get to the center with unprece-
dented subscriptions for their campaign
fund. Yes, the republican party con-
fronts these two great facts. We have
plenty of money, but are short on votes.
The gold power knows that the tidal
wave ls against them, and that IN this
year of our Lord you cannot buy votes.

your money freely and in vast sums, but
the people will not vote themselves into

Wheat Kernels Small.


There is general complaint that wheat
is not we'll filed, the heads short and
kernel small. I think the reason is on
account Of rust followed by tho hot sun
which got in it's deadly work by ripenlng
the straw prematurely. As it is genel-
ally conceded that there is only one-half
crop in Dakota, Minnesota and Mani
toba farmers should hold onto their
wheat and not sacrifice their hard earn
lnRs by selling &C Congressman Johnson's
price Of 3Oc. for that is about what they
will now get after paying for threshing
And they will get their pay in bank notes
greenbacks and silver dollars at that
price.
II the statements in the gold bug
press be true-that reconciliation OF
silver will double the price Of wheat
certainly farmers should avail them
selves Of the opportunity by holding all
the wheat possible, for We have had all
the conditions against US the past few
years. We have paid higher for ma
chinery, supplies and labor than the
price received for wheat would justify.
It is reasonable to expect, should Bryan
be elected and silver be remonetized,
that wheat will bring 60 to 70 cents
next May. Yours truly.
