While 10 q mum Der of townships

still some townships which have not

suggest that all nominations for town.

ination papers filed with the county
clerk not later than Oct Sth, in order
to have such names printed on the

We especially urge the democrats
to look after this matter of township
nomiDat ions. In several townships
the silver voters-democrats. pepu-
lists aud liberal republicans-have
already got together and made salts
factory combination township tickets
This should be done, in line with the
state and county nomination, In every
township.
Your own Interests In the towns
ships, as we'll as the interest of the
great cause of bi.metalllsm and better
government for which we are organ
lied as democrats and populists, de.
mands that you do not neglect the
matter of arranging a satisfactory
township ticket, one which will bring
out the full strength and assure the
election of good and trustworthy
township officers. Remember. the

Just before noon "Wednesday Nick
Dick was arrested and placed in jail
on charge of being drunk and dis
orderly. About p. %. the fire bell
sounded and a run was made to the
court mouse, where the bedding in the
city Jail was on fire. Nick says he
did not set it on fire-that it was on
fire when he was put in. Possibly the
hot manner in which he cussed the
whole city administration may have
set the bedding afire.

Methods of local organization wer,

ed to consider the various plans sub
mitted to the state commute. Thil
committee 10 P. f. Yearout, Car
Vrooman, Andrew Shearer, Bert Lo
gan, O. D. Outcalt and T. j. Arnold
The state committee will meet April
20, for the purpose OF definitely fixing
the date for the state convention. II
will probably be held in June.
The following general resolutions
were adopted:
We hereby heartily indorse the
present populist administration for
the noble work they have done and
are doing for the people of this state.
Governor Loedy has been untiring in
his efforts to see that the many px-
cellent laws passed by the last Iegis-
lature are carried into effect Each
department of the state government
has done ,ts part, has gwen full con-
fidence to the people, and is in hearty
sympathy with the governor in carry
ing out the demands on which the
people Of the state have insisted for a
number Of years and which they have
never been able to obtain under any
republican administration.
Among the many valuable laws
passed are the stock yards law, which
has saved to the people of Kansas
more than S25O,OOO annually; the
school book law, which has saved an
nuslly more than 100000; the anti
trust law, whereby many Of the cor
porate combines in Kansas have been
broken up and destroyed, and for the
punishment Of corporations or others
for discrimination against labor or
gsnizations; the fees and salary bill
Of the county officers, which saves
more than 100000 annually to the
taxpayers; the state grain inspection,
which is now under the control Of the
grain inspector, and not in the hands
IF the spectators and boards Of trade
and which has saved to the people
many thousands Of dollars each year;
he banking law which protects the
interest of the deposition and prevents
he starting of wildcat banks, and
many other laws Of almost equal i'm
)ortance that will save to the state
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1898-01-20

hundreds Of thousands OF dollar
each year, for which the Legislature
Of our state should receive the ever
lasting gratitude Of the people of the
state of Kansas
We especially lndorse the insurance
department in its efforts to drive ouI
OF the state all insurance companies
which are unwilling to abide by the
laws Of this state, and protect their
policy holders, and we hereby tender
our thanks to the insurance commits
sioner, the Hon. Webb McNall, for
his untlring energy in standing up
for the peoples rights aud protecting
their interests, and pray for his sue
cess in all his efforts.
Our Attorney General, L. @. Boyle,
is especially commended for his zeal
and ability in the enforcement of all
laws, and for the protection against
the outrages of these insurance COM
psnInies and other combines and
corporations.
While we not believe that the
present exigencies OF the case require
the assembling Of the Legislature in
this state, yet il the best interests OF
the state require Of demand such leg
islature, we have sufficient confidence
in the governors ability and fore
sight to leave the matter TO his care,
believing that he will work for the
best interests of all the people.
We desire to call the attention Of
our people throughout the state to
the dlsorganized condition Of the
party Of monopoly rule. While SEN
ator Chandler in the east is clamorinR
for legislation along silver lines,
Senator Woolcott in the West threat
ems to resign and practically declares
that the monetary commission is a
fsilare, with Senator Hanna in the
Central West in the thrces Of political
dissolution in Ohio, with these and
other indications which point in the
direction OF honest and good govern
nen', we submit this to the people Of
with the assurance that they
will continue to trust the party of the
people to administer the affairs of
his state in the future.

POpuIlst Conference.

A conference, attended by the pop.
ulist state committee, the county
chairman and secretaries and mum.
Der of representative populists was
held at Topeka last week. Several
matters of importance were discuss.
cd. The sentiment was strongly in
opposition to a special session of the
Legislature. Satisfaction was freely
expressed with the state administra-
ton, although occasional criticisms
were heard.
The daily newspapers failing to
get as much information as they de-
sired relative to the work of the con-
ference manufactured story that
prominent democrat leaders were on
the ground demanding that resub-
mission be put in the platform as a
price of fusion. AS matter of fact
no such proposition was made or con-
sidered. In fact, the platform was
given consideration but not as to the
prohibition issue. There was q strong
sentiment in favor of union of all
reform elements. There seemed to
be feeling that this country was d.
vided into two organizations, one Of
which favored the gold standard and
the rule Of monopollsts and one which
opposed all Of this and favored peo-
Plies money, q peoples government
and the general good Of ell. While
union was favored in state politics
no course was outlined, the conference
realizing that it had no power to act
and the matter would be referred to
the state convention, which would do
as it saw fit.
The following resolution was adop-
in regard to special session:
Resolved, by the Peoples party
conference assembled at Topeka,
January 6, 1898, that we are not
aware Of any public necessity or emer-
gency for calling the Legislature to-
gether in extra session in the near
future, and that we deem it unwise
for the executive to issue a proclama-
ton to that effect, and that we earn
estly recommend that the board of
commissioners prepare
schedule Of rates on freight to be paid
IN transportation and that they test
heir powers in the courts of the

For the coming week the Grand

five act play, Gettysburg" The
scenes in the play showing the bloody
angle at Gettysburg the night after
the terrific charge of Pickett's brave
Southern division has been pronounc-
ed the most startling battle scene ever
placed upon the mimic stage. Its
realism is perfect, the posing of the
several figures under the direction OF
the author who served as a drummer
boy in Michigan Regiment during
the war is complete in every minor
detail and it is from this scene alone
tha, the play takes its title. 1t must
not be inferred, however. that Gettys-
burg, deals wholly with grewsome
death and destruction, there is an
abundance of bright comedy and eX-
celent love story running through it,
and il is full of what is known to dra-
mausts as a well sustained heart
