"POPS" TO STAY HERE
National Headquarters Will Be Located in
Washington.
And n Branch Will Be Opened in
Chicago-Chairman Butler Has
Many Things to Think OF.

There was no formal session Of the popu-
list executive committee until a late hour
today, owing to the fact that Chairman
Butler had his hands full OF conferences
with leading democrats and silver men.
Hc talked with Senator Jones a good while
this morning before the latter went to
Chicago and went to the train with the
democratic chairman. After that he spent
good while with Senator Faulkner, and
later talked with Vice Chairman Stevens
OF the silver party.
1t has been definitely decided that Wash
irgton shall be The headquarters Of the
Topulist national committee. and that
branch headquarters will be established in
Chicago. Chairman Butler will announce
tonight or tomorrow the names of the sub
committee which will have charge OF the
work il Chicago.
Charm IN Butler has secured rooms in
the Wormley building, adjoining The head
quarters of the democratic congressional
committee. The subcommittee of the DEM
ccratic national committee Will also nave
re Oms there.
1t is learned that Chairman Butler will
be given the fullest power in the manage
ment of the Dopulist campaign He will
ct only have charge of the national cam
pasn OF his party. but ne has been placed
at the head of the pnpuiist congressional
committee. He will therefore do the work
that is usually given to two men. Al the
same time, he has his hands full OF the
North Carolina tangle.
He doesn't seem in tho least worried over
the complication OF work which has been
put upon HIM. His jaunty blue cap sits
the back of his head in most defiant style,
and he smokes many cigars day as care
s"ssly and as ndiferentiy as he appears to
take in the situation.
The Senator. it is said, will have about
four iieutenants Of note under him at
headquarters here, and will employ as
many people as the pOpulfSt funds :vill per-
will be the getting out of populist litera-
ture. There is a small supply here. ship
ped from the former headquarters in St.
Louis.

come here.
