ing 1t Hot for Him.


Omaha, Neb., June 16-An day the mid
die of the road Populists have been pros
ecuting their fight upon Senator Marion
Butler, the chairman of the Populist ma
tional committee, but so far Without sue
cess. Through ex-Congressman Weller of

ternoon to have the report of the creden-
tails committee barring out Paul Wander

and seating the contestant from Iowa fav-
orable to the Fusionists reconsidered, but
they suffered a signal defeat.

deliberated on all the afternoon.

agreement that no more fusion PROPOSE

dependently of any other conventions; that
the different states were to be governed
according to the interests of their own po-
htical welfare Individually.
But on the demand of the middle-of-the-
readers that Chairman Butler should re-
sign, the conference could not agree.
The report consumed several hours of an
executive session, and finally it was deem
ed necessary to have an entirely new con-
ference.
Senator Butler said that after the fight
that had been made upon him by the two
other members of the national committee
from his own state and the methods en-
ployed by the Texas middle-of-the- readers
he would not resign.
