AUSTIN. Texas. March 9o.--There Is

tIOn comes from Republicans according
to n certain well known Pepuiist lead

proposition Is that the Popullst place
Republican presidential electors on
their ticket this year and In return, the
Republicans will put the Populist state
candidates FOR state officers on their
ticket BY thus consolidating their vote
the two parties expect 10 defeat the
Democrats party. The returns OF the
last election show that such q move, II
faithfully carried out. would Outyutc
the Democrats. The Popullsts are eager
for the combination, for the reasons
that they have no hope out

II they can get control OF the state gov
ernment that IS ali they want. Many OF
the Republicans are also in favor OF the
combination and there Is some probH-
