Ritohia Nominated.

In the Thirtieth district Populist Ju-
dicial convention, held at Tescott, Au-
gust 1S, David Ritchie, of Salina, was
nominated The district is composed
Of Lincoln, Ottawa, Ellsworth and
Saline counties. The candidates were
T. L. Bond, r. A. Lovitt, David Ritchie
and G. A, Hitler, all of Salina, and Pro-
bate Judge Lott, Of Ottawa county,
Three ballots were required to nomi-
nate. On the first the vote was as fol-
lows: Ritchie Is, Bond Is, Hitler /,
LOvitt 2, Lott /. The second ballot
gave Ritchie Is, Bond 10, Lott 3, Hitler
/, LOvitt l. On the third ballot the vote
stood as follows: Ritchie 19, Bond 15,
Hitler l Bond was seriously handi-
capped in the fight because of the fact
that he had been employed as local at
torney by railroad company. Many
delegates feared that this might influ-
ence him ON the bench. OF course
those who best know Judge Bond had
no fears of this sort, as is shown by
the fact that he had his home dele

would be forced to indorse him or go

The Ray-McBride Contest.

In the matter Of the protest Of Judge
j. A. Ray, of Wellington, against the
placing of the name of w. T. Mcbride,
the Peoples and Democrat nominee for
Judge in the Sumner-Cowley district,
on the ballot as the nominee of any
party, the State board heard arguments
Monday. Judge Ray contended that
the primaries had never been legally
called of, that the convention was not
legally held, and that the convention
did not nominate Mcbride or any one
else. Ray was candidate for the nom
ination, but, as will be gathered by a
clipping from the Wellington Voice, in
another column, he frlttered away his
chances and was defeated. At the hour
Of going to press the board was still
considering the matter. County Attor-
ney Rogers, Representative Hackney,
Messrs. Copeland, HerTick, Naugle and
others from Sumner county appeared
in Mr.. McBride's interest.

STATE TRIES INJUNCTION
II Their Use Can Prevent the Enforcement
Of Law, Why Cant the State Use
Them to Enforce It2

What the stockmen Of Kansas, who
are complaining Of the burdens inn
posed by the new 100-pound rate in
augurated by the railroads, want is
immediate relief. They want the order
OF the Board of Railway Commission
ers enforced. They believe that this
order was legally made. Attorney
General Boyle proposes to help them,
and to that end has decided to try
the injunction method. He finds that
the injunction is very efficacious
piece Of machinery when 1t comes to
the matter of o corporation endeavor-
Ing to escape the provisions of law
when It's attorneys see fit to assert
that the law is unconstitutional, and
he can see no reason why 1t should not
be equally satisfactory in preventing
a corporation from violating law. On
Saturday he filed an application in the
Probate court OF Shawnee county the
District Judge being absent from the
district, for an order restraining the
railroads of Kansas from continuing
to charge the 100-pound rate on stock.
He also fled similar application with
District Judge Randolph Of Emporia.
The court was asked to act immedi-
ately. Judge Randolph, in accordance
with a rule Of his court, declined to do
so until all Of the parties at interest
could have a hearing, which was set
for Wednesday at p. m. Mr. Boyle
says that he wished an order issued
Immediately, in order that the roads
might have an opportunity to discover
the force Of the proceeding which they
always take when they desire to evade
law This injunction business with
out giving the State hearing in the
first instance was used In the stock
yards case, the insurance matters, and
Is the favorlte weapon of those who
don't want to comply with law Mr..
Boyle has no complaint to make rela-
tive to Judge Randolph's action. He
says that In his opinion the granting
Of the order would not have been
as vicious as the recent order OF Judge
Williams, for the reason that Randolph
has authority to issue the restraining
order asked for and that Williams had
no such authority. Attorney General
Boyle will make q fight all along the
line to compel the railroads to respect
the order Of the Railroad Commission
ers and to secure reasonable and just
rate for the shipment of stock.

is offered to the change Of the No. 2
grade from flfty-nine to fifty-eight
pounds. The objection Is that this
grade ls understood and samples are on
exhibition in the grain markets Of the
world, and that change would cause
great inconvenience in handling 1t.
Inspector Culver has taken these OBJ
jectlons under advisement and will, by
September /, have arrived at con-
clusiOn In the matter II Is undoubt-
edly true, though, that the new No. /
grade will be retained, and as vast
amount Of wheat Of that quality is in
the hands Of Kansas farmers, they
will be benefited by the introduction Of
q fair and satisfactory test which will
bring them prices for their wheat at
what 1t is actually worth.

Want a License Now,

The attorneys for the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, Of New York,
have served notice on Attorney Gen
eral Boyle and Superintendent McNall
that on September II, at Wichita, in
Judge Williams court, they will ask
that that Judges temporary injunction
be made permanent. An order will
also be asked requiring Superintendent
McNall to issue license to this COM
pany upon payment Of Its fees, The
Attorney General will have an oppor-
tunity to show why such injunction
should not be made permanent and
why such order should not be made.
This means that the fight is now on
in good shape and that there will come
a time when people will know whether
1t Is advisable to spare thmselves the
expense of State government and
State officers who will be absolutely
useless If the usurpatiOn Of power of
Federal Judges Ia sustained.

Advocate took up the matter Of re-

Messrs, Hathaway and Frasius kindly
gave readers the benefit OF their know

pounds per bushel, The No. grade
will weigh not less than tlfty-eight,

was made that prosperity would not
come without a change in financial and
economical conditions, free silver was
demanded, Governor Leedy was In

The Future Of the PEOPLES Party.

The Future Of the Peoples Party.
An old friend Of the Advocates, Mr..
L. G. Bateman, of Auburn, Maine,
writes us the following letter.
Editor Advocate:-Will you kindly
grant me space to make few sugges-
tions as to the future management of
the Peoples party? That our party is
badly torn up it is useless to deny The
fusion wing will undoubtedly continue
to work for Bryan and the Democratic
party. On the other hand, the middle
Of-the-rOaders are more determined
than ever to have nothing to do with
either in the future. 1t requires no
prophetic eye to see that unless a COM
promise is effected this quarrel will
completely disrupt and destroy the
party. The great Nashville conference
has demonstrated that the rank and
file of the Peoples party will never con-
sent to be handed over to the Democ-
racy. We do not believe in the SINGER
ity of that party OF that any reform
will ever be brought about by the or
ganizatiOn led by Bryan. All history
proves that no reform was ever yet ac-
complished by an old party.
Silver as an issue cannot last four
years, and already the Democrats are
weakening in it's advocacy. The Mary
land Democrats have virtually thrown
it overheard and have no doubt that
the entire party will be found strad-
ding the question in 1900. There is
another point that lessons Of history
prove, and that is that all great re-
forms go farther than their Origina-
tors intended The French revolution
began with simple question of eti
quette; it ended with the overthrow of
monarchy and the bloody work of the
guillotine. The slavery agitation COM
menced with the simple demand of
non-extensiOn into the Territories; it
ended with the complete overthrow Of
the whole system. In like manner has
the present financial reform contented
itself with the simple demand that
silver should be restored to its old-time
position. Had the money power
granted this moderate request it would
have stayed the onward march Of re-
form for full generation. That power
blindly refused and the consequences
will be upon it's own head. The spirit
Of reform is now fully aroused and
nothing will stay its progress. But the
silver question is a very small part Of
reform. The government ownership of
railroads and telegraphs Is Of vastly
more Importance to the people OF this
country, and in my judgment will be
the great and dominant issue in 1900.
MIR. Bryan and his Democratic friends
may shout silver until they are hoarse,
but they will shout in vain. The peo-
pie have got beyond that question.
Still they are an unorganized mass, and
the great question now is, How can
they be made to act in concert? Under
the Democratic flag with it's horde of
hungry oflce-seekers? Never! There
are million Populists in this country
who will never again be led into that
trap. There are millions of Republi-
cans ready to break away from their
party as soon as they can be satisfied
that such action will not result in
building up their lifelong enemy, the
Democracy.
How can these men be united? Let
me suggest a plan. The leaders Of the
fusion wing Of our party profess to be
anxious that no split shall occur in our |

all matters Of personal opinion. AS
POpulists and as party men, you would
reasonably be expected to abide by all
regular agreements along party lines;
but not a State convention, nor State
committee, nor a national convention,
nor any power on the earth, or in
heaven above the earth, or in the
waters under the earth, can lawfully
transfer your allegiance to any other
party without your consent, or compel
or require you to unite with or ally
yourselves with any other party even
for temporary purposes. That is for
you and you alone to determine.
The only other further criticism l
have to offer is this: Let us understand
one another. If any of you are of Opin-
ion that the principles of that party
are better than ours; or, If for that or
any other reason, you would feel more
at home there than with us, it would
be cOnsiderate on your part, it would
be frank and manly, If you would re-
lieve your old associates from further
responsibility on your account; lay
aside all Populist disglises, cast off the
Populist overalls, don the uniform Of
the other party and go-camp with it's
recruits, sing its songs, and pray its
prayers, let its God be your God; train
with it's soldiers, march under it's ban
ners, fight under its leaders, and in all
things appear before the world to be
