and the Filipino question from the
point that follows.
The whites have begun to establish
their diabolicAl race hatred in all it's

the Bpaniards and FiliPinos SO as to
be sure OF the foundation OF their su-

regime, is established.

Filipino as to his knowledge and views
OF the American colored man that we
might know our position intelligently

Ans Before American occupation

nos knew little il anything OF the col =
ored people OF America. We had read
American history in the general, but

FROM THE PoPuLIs1 VIEW POM

FROM THE POPULIsI VIEW POINT
The Norman Voice (Popul.st), whose

and who deserted Keaton at the last
moment, makes the following state
ment:
The editor of the GUTHRIE LEADER
seems at loss to understand why it
is so distasteful TO Populists TO have
their principles labelled Democracy "
There is no occasion for his cropping
around in sea OF darkness when 1t is
so easy TO blind him with a Hood OF

it is true, as the editor Of the GUTHRIE
LEADER claims, that "Populism stands
for Democracy" why does he so per-
sistently insist on attaching a label
that would spoil it's sale? For the
past twenty-five years the Democratic
party has been trying to palm off on

less with Otis at the head of affairs he
must give way. This is singular
proceeding and proves the fact that
politics rs the chief consideration in
