There is no time left now to squander and
we want everyone to be up and doing. How
is your precinct is it organized or not?
What are you doing? 1t is hoped that ne
delegate will be permitted to go to the
convention as a delegate unless he has
organized d member of an organized pre-
cinct league club. Now is your chance to
become eligible. Get hump on YOU
The City Committee of the Peoples Party
surprised and offended a large number OF
good Populsts who were recommended as
judges for the Board of Election by the
Ramsey County League clubs of the Peo,
pies Party, and a promiscuous mob OF
every party and no party was placed on the
list instead. We find Republicans Demo
Gratis, Socialists ward-heelers labor-aslta-
tors, leg pu1lers. and political vampires oc-
cupying these places of trust and import
ance We would be glad TO refer IN com
their action if we could rid ourselves of the
suspicion that some of their members were
i'm the employ of the money power to wreck
the Peoples Party. The secretary of the
committee is full Hedged Republican, and
in the employ of the money power (as
speech which he made some time ago in WI
mona would indcate): this same individual
is now masquerading as Peoples Party
man and using his position as a member
of the City Committee to create dissenslon
and strife but the eyes of the party are
open, and the treacherous tricks OF swallow
demagogues like this fraud will not &C
long unnoticed, but will be given their
uuietus like DR.. Fish, Tom Lucas and other
Judas Iscarots who have disappeared into
oblivion and left nothing behind but ar
unpleasant memory.
We are pleased to announce that that
brilliant Young attorney of the Ramsey
county bar Mr.. I. K. Kane. has reported
for duty and that now what seemed
homeless task a few days ago to organize
the Silk Stocking Seventh Ward is now an
assured fact. We glad to welcome
such hustIing Populists Mr.. Kane to
the active participation i'll the success OF
our party's organization. We hope to be
able to say in our next weeks issue that
the Seventh Ward will have live, active
lnnr nly
We will watch with keen interest the
activity with which the few Populists on
the City Committee of the Peoples Party
will join their precinct clubs Keep your
Populist an injustice, even though his as
sociations on the City Committee blinded
him for the time being in assisting TO OF
fend the eight organized ward league clubs
in turning down the president and secretary
of the organized precincts OF each ware
who were listed by the Ward club and
turned into the committee on their (the
committees invitatiOn) by the president OF
each ward club. The whole list of the
in no place was there a selection from our
list except where the committee could not
find anyone to fill their places. then our
list was drawn upon. In this way we got
thirty-one members of clubs on as
Judges of the Election Board.
We find the ward-pluger and saloon-b bum
most yociferous in their denunciation of the
writer because of the. article which APP
peared in last weeks issue, in which we
stated the DAYS of the professional candi-
date-chaser the ward-heeler the plug-ugly
and other political vampires who were SELL
Ing our party to every politician for price
ranging from a glass Of beer and upwards
as the price of their influence and sup
port" We said that the day of the profess
sional leg-puller in the Peoples Party was
over. We reattirm our former statement
and say to those whom the boot fits, let
him wear it," We will now watch how
many of this kind of Pops we have and
we may be prevailed upon to maintain a
register Of the "kckers'' to this article
SO as to put them under the proper head
ing" We would be considerate enough even
to those "kickers'' to register under their
proper heading Speak up now, boys; don't
be bashful; let us hear to what class you
belong to- We propose to conduct the cam
paigns of the Peoples Party. as We said be-
fore, ION an honest, respectable basis, and
candidates warned not to listen to any
individual who claims he can deliver the
Peoples Party nor any part thereof. as
the goods can't be delivered" No one is
authorized to speak for the party, the City
Convention which will take place on the
goth day of April is the only authorized
mouth-piece of the party to say what it will
or will not do.
Another indication of the hostility of the
"so-called City Committee of the People s
Party" is their calling of the City Conven-
ton on the same day and same place as
the Jubilee Week Committee of the Peo-
pies Party League Clubs, who will hold
their initial opening of the Jubilee Week
tertainments in the State" at ST. Paul,
Monday evening, April 10th, at Market Hall
The members of the league clubs take it as
an exhibition of further hostility on the
part of the City Committee to embarrass
the men who have charge of this enter
