sUNFLOWER POPS SEEM TO HAVE

CHAIRMAN BUTLER SAYS WATSON
MUST DE SUPPORTED.
No Arrangement Which Provides for
Giving POpuIist Votes TO ScyaIl

POpuIists Are Not to
BE Recognized.

Washington, Aug. 1a-Chairman Butler
of the PoDulist national committee. was
asked the following question tonight: I'm
view Of your statement yesterday TO the
effect that the Popuist candidates are
Bryan and Watson, and will be until the
close of the campaign. and will be earn
eStly supported to the end without diScrin-
nations for or against either. what will he
the position of your committee with refer
ence to those states where Democrats and
Populists have fused by the latter taking
the state ticket and the former all OF the
electoral ticket"
I'VE have no official information" he re-
piled, that this has been done in any
state: but if ii has been done, or is con-
templated, the national committee Will not
approve or recognize it. The highest law
in any party is the action of its national
conventions No man or state organization
can be disloyal to such supreme authority
without arraying itself in direct and hos
tile opposition to the national convention.
Our national convention nominated Bryan
and Watson by an overwhelming majority.
and it is the bounden duty of every loyal
Populist to support both of these candi-
dates earnestly and loyalty; and. besides,
Watson stands for what Bryan stands for,
and therefore Bryan and Watson is the
only ticket that represents the principles
4
contended for from the beginning. MIR.
Sewall is no more the candidate of the
Peoples party than is I1r. Hobart.
The executive committee will see that
the action of our national convention is
maintained in every state. but if there
should arise disaffection or disloyalty to
either of our candidates in any state. then
we are sure that there are true Populists
in such states who will support a whole
ticket and such alone will be recognized
by our national committee"
straightout Bryan and Watson ticket in
every state?"
NO: but it means that wherever Popu-
lists and Democrats join forces on the cleo
toral ticket there must be due and prop
er recognition of each party's candidate by
a just and equitable division of electors
supporting the candidates of the respective
parties"
Senator Butler was asked what effect this
announcement would have upon the fusion
in Kansas. where the Populists took the
state ticket and the Democrats the elec-
toral ticket but he declined to go into spe-
cfic details. saying his announcement re-
lated to the general policy of the commit
tee. The statement of Mr. Butler was said
to be the unanimous expression of the COM
| mittee.

HAY FEVER.

Now is the time and season Of the year
for hay fever to take possession of its

are kept SO busy trying to see through

twisting and pulling their own noses that
they have no time to attend to anything

to get any medicine competent to cure
them. Hay fever is no longer an incurable
disease. Sufferers can now get quick and
positive cure. They don't have to spend

FUSION in MISSOURI.
sfderabie Comment in wash
fngfOn Political Circles,

Washington. Aug. l9-tSpeciai) There
is considerable comment in political cir

the effect that the Democrats and Popu-
lists of Missouri propose TO fuse and thus
simplify matters political 10 some extent.
This would place the electoral and state
ticket on the same footing and would pre-
clude the possibility of any one suspecting
that more work was being done for tine
state ticket than for the electoral ticket.
In the event of fusion all interested in the
state ticket would have A common interest
in the electoral ticket. and the real effect
of fusion. as estimated, would be to pre-
vent confusion in the Republican cam
paign.
The impression is gaining in congression-
al committee that the chances for winning
all along the line In Missouri are improving.
The reports are more and more favorable.
Reports from every county have been re-
ceived and hence the committee has at
hand basis for calculation.
An Eastern paper INDUCES in an attempt
ed sensational story to the effect that the
Republican leaders of Missouri are divided,
some working exclusively for the state
ticket. while others are working exclusive
" for the electoral ticket. The story. in the
face of the information in the hands Of the
congressional committee, is entirely un-
founded and there is no reason to charge
disloyalty to any Missouri Republican.
