NO MORE CONSERVATIVES.
James Butler Says Conservatism is
WHAT is Killing the Populist Party.


The radicals, those who possess pos
, tive convictions favorable to the Peo-
pies party, are sure to organize. They
must do so to preserve party princi-
Pies" said James Butler today. &c. Q.
Clemens interview in Monday even
ing's Journal is in line with my letter
of q few weeks ago. The great rank
and file of the Peoples party are de-
handing radical measures and they
have now learned that conservatism
cannot be relied on to enact radical
laws.
The action taken by the Saline
county Populists is right and should
be followed by every county or dis
trict where the representative or SEN
atOr was elected on a POpulist plat
form and failed to stand by the de-
mands of the platform upon which he
was elected. In the last campaign
success of party was the one great aim
and was placed in front of party meas
ures in our conventions Those who
did not know it before have now learn
ed that it takes more than party sue
cess at the polls to carry into effect
party measures. Men who have posi-
tive convictions will not be manipulat-
ed again by men who have none.
Creafer care will be used in our nOm1
Mating conventions and some men
with positively expressed views Will be
selected. Men have learned that when
they want a race horse not to select a
donkey They will in time learn (1f
thew have not already done so in kan
sas1 to select radical men as represent
atives when they want radical laws en-
acted.
TT is no use to tell US that radicals
can't be elected in Kansas. The con-
servatives can't scare US any more. The
corporations will have to act through
some other agency. Look, II you
please. at Leedy and Doster. They
were denounced as radical, wild-eyed,
impractical socialists of the most dan
eerous class; yet they received more
votes than any other candidates on the
state ticket The people of Kansas
love brave honest men, possessed OF
positive convictions, and when man
is advertised as a radical in the inter
est of the masses the people rally to his
support when given the opportunity.
1t is not at all discouraging that some
of the men we elected have proven IN
worthy and recreant. rms was TO De

is q good lesson and will result in max

Asa NJ. Bum has been appointed to
draw up plans and specifications for
the diagonal walks in the state house
grounds, for which the contracts will
be let at the regular meeting of the

The subject was considered at a

other than the appointment of Mr..
Bum to perform the work specified.
The walks will be of asphalt, but the
kind has not been determined. Bid

to use, a provision which will be con-
sidered by the members of the council
in making the awards.

ed from the board of regents the offer
of the place, but has signified his will
hngness to consider such a proposition.

proposed offer, he declined to discuss
the subject in any manner.
However, Mr.. COburn's friends say he
