No Annexation to Democracy.
IOHN OIRsON.

Now that the election is over interested
parties are Canvassing the causes OF Re-
publican success or Popullst defeat. The
reason most generally assigned by the Pop
uiists Is that too many Populists stayed at
home on election day. Probably true But
why did they stay at home? For cause.
Let us inquire into the causes
AS a POpuhst who claims 10 be one OF its
charter members and who has constantly
worked for it's advancement ever since II
was organized, nor has ever asked or eX-
pected any official or political recognition,
will, with your permission, try to briefly
outline some OF the causes, according to
my observation, that made many OF them
stay at home.
First, when we nominated Bryan, at St.
Louis, we were placed in a false position.
And, afterwards, when the Abilene con-
venton assembled II made deal with the
Democrats that turned down the gallant
Tom Watson and substituted the pluto
crat Sewell. And those who opposed II
were insulted and called Hannacrats. The
convention sacrificed our Vice Presidential
candidate for the State government, and
principle for an expedient. A bad bar
gain. But we went ahead and helped to
carry out the contract, hoping that would
be the end of 1t. But ever since, as we
watched the schemes Of that political scala
wag, Marion Butler and his assistants,
have been led to believe that IL he is al
lowed to succeed that the Popullst party
will be annexed to the Democratic marty
by 1900.
Many of US are opposed to the annexa-
ton. 1t is not a pleasant recollection to
a true Populist when we remember that the
Democrats at Augusta, Ca, in 1894 officially
reported 1900 votes for their gold STANDARD
candidate out of a population of about a."
COO, TO count Tom Watson out. Then, the
Democratic Representatives in Congress,
both north and south, voted solidly to seat
the man (Black) who received the fraud
ulent vote As for myself left II a few
years ago because II was too long on prom

Two Reasons for Defeat.
GEO. W. SUTTON.

AS so many have attempted to tell why
the Populist party in Kansas was defeated,
and as / dissented l will say what I think,
First and foremost, fusion. Fusion killed
the old Greenback party and so warned
them that it would be our death. The same,
1 said, would be the fate Of the Peoples
party II it fused with the Democratic party.
l said If our principles were right and the
best for the whole people that they were
eternal, and II we unfalteringly staid with
them and maintained them that they would
loom up in and before the minds Of the
great masses Of the people like solid steel
shaft and would attract all men unto them;
but If we let go Of them in the least the
people would lose confidence and would
commence to ask Where are we at?" and
would leave US in disgust.
The next apparent reason in Kansas was
that our delegate conventions were packed
with Leedy delegates. Before our conven-
tion met every man that got to go to the
State convention was known before nomi-
mated whether he would favor Leedy and
the old crowd or q new deal; and Leedy
delegates were elected and the feelings and
opinions Of the old crowd that was opposed
to Leedy and in favor of righteous and
Just enforcement of the law were ignored.
They intended to teach the party that they
would nominate Leedy and ignore them, but
it took votes to elect. In the above is the
reason Leedy was defeated and the reason
the people stayed at home

8 VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS


ported that Wehrle was two ahead. That
would not do. The returns must be doc
tOred. read letter written to Mr.. Wehrle,
written by one Of the most reliable men In
Seward county, saying that his precinct
polled "A votes-11 for Wehrle and l3 for
Wiley; that the county commissioners in
canvasslng the vote credited the said pre-
cinct with 25 votes, giving Wiley IA and
Wehrle II. Thus they added one vote to the
returns, giving 1t to Wiley. In this county
the commissioners threw out the entire re-
turns OF Crooked Creek township on ac-
count Of informality Of returning the same
to the county clerk. These returns gave
Wehrle more than two to one given to
Wiley There was the same objection to
canvassing the returns OF Sand Creek pre-
Cinct that there was to canvassing those Of
Crooked Creek precinct, but the former
gave Wiley a majority and was counted
for him. Besides, l have heard of three
votes which the voters, 1t seems, by mis-
take marked for Wiley, but before coming
out Of the booth discovered the mistake
and rubbed out the mark and marked for
Wehrle. OF course, the rubbing out could
be seen on the ballot, but the marks for
WehFle were perfectly distinct. These votes
were thrown out by the election board.
AS the house is strongly Republican 1t
would be perfectly useless for Wehrle to
contest Wlley's seat, no matter how good
a case he had.
l think before two years roll around the
people will begin to get their eyes open.
Many of them will, and empty pockets be-
fore that time.
To the credit of quite number Of Re-
publicans in Meade county they voted for
Wehrle on account Of the disparity between
the two men, both mentally and morally,
| am happy to say they embrace many Of
our best citizens. Although this Is a Re-
publican county, counting Crooked Creek
returns Wehrle received II majority. Both
the men have been citizens of Meade for at
least ten years The vote SHOWS their re-
spective standing at home.

How It Was Done.
c. @. ALLEN.

With regard to the results Of our late
election have read several theories as to
how it was done. can tell how 1t was done
in this 124th) representative district, em-
bracing the counties of Meade and Seward,
without guessing or conjecture. 1t was
done by whisky, beer, money Doodle and
false counts. John Wehrle, of Meade, was
the fusion candidate for representative. No
more worthy man can be found in the State
than he G. w. Wiley, also of Meade, was
the Republican candidate. l said before
the election he would not scruple to employ
any means that he thought would aid in
his election. In that l am certain now that
was quite right. / believe his highest con-
ception of politics is sneaking. dishonest,
uDscrupulous intrigue and the like. He has
beeen taking lessons of Cy Leland for two
years. He rides on a pass and made fire.

The Cause Of Free Silver.
A. c. sHINN.

Let all who believe in the free and unlm-
tied coinage OF silver at the ratio OF lG
to l rejoice. Our cause is not lost Phllos-
ophy teaches that all large bodies start
slowly In politics We all know that Il
takes time to center the thought OF 75,-
100000 people on one question. We have the
greatest cause to fight for that has ever
been allotted to man. Other countries and
ages have had questions OF great magni-
tude to decide, but our cause is the cause OF
all humanity.
Since the birth OF history silver and gold
have been used as money OF ultimate re-
demption by all or nearly all nations.
Neither can be spared without great loss,
without readjustment OF the laws OF
nearly all nations in all matters pertaining
to money, as salaries, licenses, interest,
debt, etc. The United States is the battle
ground on which this question must be
settled.
Our traditions, our history, our produc-
tlons, our debts, all alike, incline us to the
side of the bimetallist. Let us not be faint
hearted, or imagine all is lost because in a
sklrmish, when the issues were obscure,
when the air was full OF the noise and dust
OF local questions, when owing to our Coun-
try being blessed with bOuntiful crops and
our neighbOring nations were so unfortu-
nate as to have great crop failures, so that
we were favored by good prices for our sur
plus, when We, as a nation, were just issu-
ing forth from a successful (but unfortu-
nate) war, we have lost in some local cleo
tions, while we have gained in others.
Let us remember that men form their po-
lltical affiliations mainly by what they be-
lieve to be for the interest Of the nation AT
large, and not by some small geographi-
cal part of the nation. So, when our cam
didates appeal to the voters to indorse them
and their acts locally without regard TO
its effect on the larger issues Of the nation,
as was done in New York, Kansas and
some other States, we should not get dis
heartened as to our main cause, however
much may be deplored the loss on our
local issues.
With about the same value OF silver and
gold in the world at the ration OF l6 to /,
1t is utterly impossible to destroy either
without a complete upheaval OF all llnan-
cial matters. We have just started In on
this innovation, and 1t is much easier to
return to the solid footing Of the ages than
to go on without a guide or compass, no
man knoweth whittier.
VIII we allow private property and the
individuality OF man to be q thing Of the
past in one short generation by combina-
ton of the single gold standard on one side
and socialism on the other? No, no, Let
all true bimetallists rally as one man to
the party that will make the free coin
age of silver at the ration of l6 to its
leading issue and then with no side issues
to weaken, but only those that strengthen
the main cause, 80 press our leading ques-
ton that all men may see 1t as "a pillar
Of cloud by day and as pillar of fire. by
night to lead them the way

MRS. EMMA TRoUDNER.

TO advocate principles for growth and
upward progress Is the privilege of true,
manly, independent Americanism. AS O.
unit in our commonwealth each has an I'M
questionable right to deduct their opinions
from the facts in the case. 1t Is useless 10
waste time and breath combating the
question with the narrow mind which con-
dennis all things unheard excepting his own
opinions, until harmonl2ing influences lead
him to higher conceptions of the rights Of
others; while the broad-gauged citizen is
always ready to concede fair and intelli-
gent discussion of any measure that bears
the stamp of true American principles.
The laws of our country are continually
changing through legislation or the prece-
dent Of non-enforcement AS long as there
is breadth and expansion Of mental growth
among men new and better laws will grad
ually and certainly take the place Of many
of our present ones.
The law relative to the election Of State
and county officials is unlimited in the
specified terms they may be consecutively
elected to the same position. Precedent has
confirmed the fact that the man elected
for his first term of Office is at once fille0
with an ardent desire to so well and ably
manipulate such forces at his command as
shall insure a second term at all hazards
Hence, every official act has been made
from this policy ground which shall control
or govern the largest number Of votes for
second term. From this mistaken policy he
frequently overreaches himself. Were our
laws such that no one should be elected
two consecutive terms tand let the term be
for four years. an incentive would be added
to give the best administration to the az
fairs Of state. Justice and right motive will
have exchanged places with politF and nep-
otism. Let us remove the stumbling block
and secure an honest administration in the
interests of all the people

Was the State Election COnstltu-
tlOnalP
LINUS s. WEBB.

L. H. Phillips, deputy county attorney Of
Crawford county, Kansas, gives it as his
opinion that the election Of Governor and
other State officers on the Sth of NOVem-
ber is unconstitutional and void. He cites
the first section OF the executive article Of
the Kansas constitution, which reads as fol-
lows:
"The executive department shall consist
of Governor, Lieutenant Governor Secre-
tary Of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney
General and Superintendent Of Public In
struction; who shall be chosen by the cleo
tors of the State at the time and place Of
! voting for members of the Legislature, and
shall hold their offices for the term Of two
years from the second Monday Of January
after their election, and until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified"
And then Mr. Phillips refers to the case
of the State VS.. Robinson in the first vol
ume Of the Kansas Supreme court reports,
page l, and from the opinion Of the court
Mr.. Phillips quotes the following:
Members of the Legislature as here
used [Sec. /, Art. of the constitution held
to include members of both branches of the
Legislature The executive officers can on
ly be chosen at an election In which are
chosen members of the House of Represen-
tatives and OF the Senate. The stat
ute approved May g. 1861, entitled AN act
to provide for the election Of State, district
and county officers, Senators and members
of the House Of Representatives, etc., pro-
vides that members of the House Of Repre-
sentatives shall be elected at the general
election in 1861 and annually thereafter, and
members Of the Senate at the same election
in 1862, and every second year thereafter.
III thus fixing the year 1862 as the time for
electing members of both branches OF the
Legislature, that time is held to be the
one prescribed for the election Of the Sec
ond Governor Of Kansas"
In 1875 the constitution Of Kansas was
amended, the terms Of Representatives be-
ing fixed at two years and Of Senators at
four years. In 1876 members of both houses
were chosen; in 1878 only members of the
house were chosen; and since 1876 members
Of both houses OF the Legislature have beep
elected at the same time and place only
orce every four years. And 1t is contend
ed by Mr.. Phillips that the election of State
officers every second year since 1876, when
only members Of the house were chosen,
including the election Of 1898, was and is
null and void because such elections were
in controventlOn Of Section Of Article Of
the constitution, as construed by the Su-
preme court in the case Of the State against
Robinson.
II Mr.. Phillips is right in his opinion it
would, seem to be a strong argument in fa-
vor Of a constitutional convention. But
whether he is right or wrong, II Is not at all
likely that the Republicans Of Kansas will
surrender the fruits OF their victory upon
the plea that the election is unconstitution-
al-after the lapse Of twenty-five years

In some cases the present shortage In
the available supply OF coal in Kansas
Is attributed to inability to secure
miners. Various reasons are given for
this condition. One is that many miners
enlisted in the army. Another is that
strikes cause many men to be out. The
fact probably is that the lot Of the ay-

the operators that every one who can IL
