JOHN LINZ
JOHN LIND
The Views of Twenty-Year CID
POpul1st.
(By J. B. Dukes,)


Populist
(By ]. B. Dukes.)
A straight Populist ticket from top
to bottom will suit me. Thus only can
we end decentralization and renew re-
form agitation. We cannot consider
John Lind, because, first, he is not
a Populist; second, is not candidate.
and third, if he was would not pledge
himself. He states himself above all
political parties and creeds. In other
words, he sets individual judgment su-
perior to any or all political bodies of
people. DID EVER THE CzAR OF
RUSSIA USE STRONGER LANGUAGE?
What has ever John Lind done for the
Peoples Party to advance it's PRINCIPLES?
Nothing. On the other hand, HE HAS
DONE MORE TO IMPEDE ITS PROF.
RESS AND DESTROY ITS ORGANi-
ZATION THAN ANY OTHER MAI IN
THE STATE. In '94 the Peoples Party
polled $4,000 votes. But under this in
sane shouting for Honest John Lind"
we now find ourselves without legal
party. And it will cost us from 5000
: to $4,000 to make our party throughout
the state legal. See what one honest
man can do to set reform back. A dis
honest man could scarcely do more.
Away with this lukewarm Republican.
Because thou are neither cold nor hot
will 1 spew thee out of my mouth"
saith the Lord. John Lind, if we NAV
trust the records Of congress, voted
against the free coinage of silver three
times on different bills, and to please
the bankers and money loaners. On one
of these occasions his vote alone was
needed to have carried a free silver bill.
But out of congress he makes brilliant
free silver speeches to please the people.
We have plenty of good men,
as Ignatius Donnelly, DR.. john
son, DR.. Ames, P. H. Rahilly, T.
]. Meighen, L. c. Long, Mr.. Seberger,
Senator Borchert, and hundreds OF 9TH
ers. In almost any school district you
can find Populist who would make .
better executive officer than Minnesota

JOHN LIND? NO.
Are Peoples Party Chairmen in League
With the Devil?


With the Devil?
(By G. 0. Rud)
Suppose for the sake of argument,
we nominate John Lind and that he
should be elected. How in the name of
common sense will that benefit our par
ty, il his election comes with the help
Of Republicans and Democratic votes
And how will it benefit the Populists
who will be put upon the ticket? Be
cause we know only too we'll that the
old party voters will never vote with
the hated Populists. Take, for in
stance here in our own county John
Lind carried it, but our magnificent fu-
sion ticket fell through with sicken-
ing thud. Some of the Republican
candidates running up a majority Of
over 1000. Through the unwarranted
neglect of our county chairman we have
no primaries or county convention, AS
HE HAS FAILED TO ISSUE ANY
CALL. We are Populists here, not
Democrats.

vention with outsiders, the true Popu-
lists should leave the hall and name

OUR COUNTY FOR A STRAIGHT
TICKET.
(By J. R. Steele)
Am not in favor Of fusion with any
party, and never was, although l had
to swallow the medicine of voting for
Bryan. I did not leave the Republican
party to be made a Democrat. My

road principles. Put up straight Pop
ulist ticket. Let us sink or swim.
ANOTHER CALL FOR DIR. JOHNSON.
(By Charles H. Smith.)
I wish we had a lot Of such men as
DR.. Johnson, of Wilmar, in our party I
most sincerely wish to see the day when
we shall have a party of, by and for the
people.

how noble it's purpose, will accomplish
. for the people without the ref
C 4 than the old parties have. Fu-
sio.. would have had little or no show
if Mr.. SWANS referendum plan had been
adpoted, and certain members Of the
state committee that voted it down must
have known it. If the public see that
we are unwilling to govern our party by
the referendum, it will be difficult for
us to persuade them that we will believe
in it after election. We must adopt
Mr. SWANS referendum plan or let the
rank and file know that they will con-
tinue to be the foot ball Of politicians
Without the referendum, as fusion
teaches, the rank and file will accom-
plish as much by not voting at all as by
voting. With the referendum the farm
ers can have an equal voice in selecting
candidates and deciding party policy as
any one else, and without the expense Of
travelling to and from conventions
Read the political tricks employed and
described in these letters and then con-
slider how much better it would have
been to have avoided them, by having
Mr.. Swain's referendum plan in opera
tion. 1t is useless to talk of reforming g
state Or national affairs until the refer
endum is applied to party politics.

to work with those Of another party as

can never be obtained through the
Democratic party or the Republican
party. Both old parties are owned by
monopolies. l helped organize the Peo-

If there were no other reason to give
against fusion it would be enough to
point to the fact of all this talk for it,
The mere foolish question as to whether
the Peoples Party ought to stand on it's
own feet is enough to make one sick
For Gods sake let us get rid of this
fusion talk. Organize a genuine Peo-
pies Party, however few in numbers,
and let the fusionists go lowell where
they belong. 1t seems they are pos
sessed of an uncomfortable hankering

JOHN LIND is NO POPULST.
Not Even In Principle.
(By c.. u. Webster.)

(by u. u. WeDSter.)
When I think of the influence the
Peoples Party gained and the influence
it occupied, and now, behold the de-
plorable condition it is reduced to bv
trying to get good water out of filthy
puddle, I am aggrieved. I find quite a
few good, substantial Omaha Populists.
While always considered John Lind a
good man, he does not claim to be any
thing but a Republican. If a man don't
want to be called by any other name,
however good silver man he may be,
l would say, simply keep on calling him
a Republican. He is nothing else. II
he is not Populist before he certainly
will not be after election. It is easy
enough to talk before the convention
about getting a full Populist ticket,
with the exception of Lind, but when
they come together as mongrel con-
vention they will find the Democrats
and Silver Republicans have got the
body and we have the tail only. Ano
they will fail to elect Practical Re-
publicans- -Populists before the election,
are practical and pure Republicans or
Democrats after election I am will
ing every man should enjoy his honest
opinion, but do like man who has all
opinion. The methods of our party are
SO different from those of the old par
ties that we cannot work with them. l
would never allow the enemy to scut-
tie our ship, but would rather nominate
no one if he be not Populist.
A FUSIONIST CAN'T BE A POPULIST.
Fusion Subscribes to Frauds.
(By H. Selover)
l desire to support the reform party,
which means reform dead sure, whether
any one in the party ever gets an office
or not. I do not believe in Democratic,
Republican or fusion reform, but Popu-
list reform does not go an inch too far
to suit me. l want to see a straight
Peoples Party organization If there is
not more than corporal guard of true
men to inaugurate it new AS an old
Republican formerly, I believe there is
not single election board that could
not be chosen by the Democratic party
but would stuff the ballot boxes with
fraudulent votes to gain an election. To
fuse with such party would mean to
subscribe to these frauds, which l do
not propose to do. l also believe the
Republican party would intimidate ev-
cry laboring man in the country if pos
sible in order to win an election This
fraud is as villainous and Infamous as
the ballot stufing, and fusion with It
also means subscribing to this fraud.
ALL POPULISTS WHO FAVOR FU-
SION ARE SUBSCRIBING TO THESE
RASCALITIES. Neither of the old
parties are capable of reform. They
are led by men past reformation. The
millions of honest and deceived voters
in the ranks of the old parties can join
the Peoples Party when they get tired
of frauds and deception. A Populist
is not fusionist. A FUSIONIST CAN
NOT BE A POPULST. If the con-
vention has been called for a Populist
convention, no other party has any right
to intrude on the convention. II the

WHY CO-OPERATORS WILL FAIL

-
The sentiment is unanimous among

other, causes me to doubt the sincerity
of the so-called honorable co-operators.
Their only excuse offered SO far is Ito
win," and to do this they must have the
solid Peoples Party and Democratic
votes, and about 10000 Republican votes.
l know if there Is a combination ticket
put in the field they will not get one
half the Peoples Party votes, none OF
the Republican votes and not all of the
Democratic votes. They must know
this as well as l do. l am satisfied this
whole combination has no other excuse
except to down Donnelly and others
who have won their hatred Their ha-
tired Of Donnelly exceeds their love OF

BOSSES VS.. THE PEOPLE.
(By James ArnOld.)


The Peoples Party was founded to
combat both old parties. History records
but one way of revolution without
blOOdshed, and that is the Swiss refer
endum. This must be the means that
the Peoples Party must use to be sue
cessful. 1 don't believe in bossism. AS
to nominating John Lind or Bowler, or
any other man the bosses have been
quarreling over, think would be poor
policy. Better to take new men alto
gether. If only certain nationalities
can be nominated to give success it Is
proof positive that you cannot change
the nature of lot of ignoramuses. If
the bosses have already partitioned out
the offices, why call the convention at
all and give us the trouble and expense
of coming to Minneapolis? What Is a
convention for if everything is arrang-
ed beforehand?
