in this state. shall, however, do all
that my time, means and ability will
make possible for me to do towards fur
thering our great cause in this section
of the country, and hope to find some
good assistants in the different Localities,
a few, at least, of true and honest Pop
ulists who will stand by our colors and
be willing to make an active fight for
the principles so dear to all true Popu-
list hearts, the grand doctrines so plain.
ly but forcibly stated in the Omaha
platform of 1892-the fundamental doc
ument, now as then, of our party-to-
gether with the Cincinnati platform,
plan of organization and our national
ticket
AS to the ticket-Barker and DON
nelly think it is very good as it is.
but at the same time l am willing to
support any equally good ticket put up
by our party in case future events should
cause it to be changed. think we can
safely say that no party ever nominated
a better ticket for the two highest
places in the gift of this nation. But
no matter how good our ticket is, We
the Peoples party must always bear
in mind that success will not come to us
on that account, not to any great ex-
tent; although it is, of course, strong
point in our favor. Our main strength
must always lie in the greatness, not
of our leading men, but Of our leading
and fundamental principles.
Let us then, as many of us as possibly
can, and as much as we can, as we'll as
as freely as we are able to, preach these
principles to those who do not yet know
or understand them; let us all do our
share, small or great, according to each
ones ability, and thus help to make this
campaign the greatest educational cam
paign this country has ever seen. And
If it be true that right is stronger than
might" success must crown our efforts
In this state the true Populists are
rather scarce, so it seems At least,
have so far not been able to find very
many Of them. If any of the readers of
this paper, in this state or outside of it
will assist us in our work they can do
so very materially by sending to me the
names and postoffice addresses of people
in the state of Idaho whom they believe
to be honest POpulists, and shall glad
ly answer all communications from
Populists In this state and cooperate
to the best of my ability with those who
will help us in the work of organizing
the counties and precincts in the state,
according to the plan laid out by the
Cincinnati convention,
Take your coats off and pull up YOUR
sleeves, Idaho Populists, and pitch in!
There is plenty of work ahead of us.
Our party must be reorganized and
thousands of new members added to it
during the next few months, and only
a united effort on the part of all true
and honest believers in the principles
OF our party can accomplish the work.
Yours for success,
JOHANNES HANSEN.

He is organizer of the Peoples party
for Kansas. Nebraska, Nevada, Utah
and Missouri. He is also editor of one
OF the best and foremost Populist pa

pressing their willingness to aid him in
taking the referendum.
