A Bit Of History.

The term, middle of the road Popu<
lists, had its origin in Williamson
County, Texas. The year 1892 was the
first the Populists, or third party, as it
was then called, became q factor in
Texas politics. In that year William
Shaw, of Georgetown, conceived the
notion of becoming a candidate for JUS
tice of the peace. Uncle Bill" as he
was called, avoided a direct expression
Of opinion concerning the new party,
but in the heat of the canvass a mass
meeting was called at which the can
didates were expected to declare them
selves. Uncle Billy indiscreetly attend
ed the meeting, and as it was drawing
to a close was called to the platform.
He made a few brief on-committal re-
marks, but some secret enemy called:
whats your politics? This was the
fated question that he had wished to
avoid. but there was no escape now, so,
facing the people, he said: Gentlemen
you viii always find Uncle Bill in the
middle Of the road" His happy evasion
caught the people, and he was triuln-

Williams, editor of Il Populist paper in
Georgetown, bolted the action of his
party and through his party advocated
the calling of a convention and the
naming of another candidate who
would be, as he expressed it, like
Uncle Billy Shaw, strictly in the middle
of the road" The sobriquet as applied
by Williams was taken up by the press
and very quickly became well-defned

me rest meath the shadow of the everlast-
