BRYAN POPULISTS
In CONVENTION

since political parties were first or

same unselfish devotion to principle as
has the peoples party. Several weeks

Der Of the party. from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from the lakes to the gulf,
expected to see the national convention
that met at St. Louis nominate a
straight peoples party ticket for pres
ident and vice-president; but at the
democratic national convention which
assembled in Chicago a few weeks be-
fore the unexpected happened.
The democratic convention, which
had for many years been following
false gods, returned 70 the faith Of
Jefferson. and adopted platform
and nominated a candidate that came
near standing for the great funda-
mental principles Of good government
which Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln
advocated and amplified by their ca
reer. True, the platform did not spe-
officially declare for all Of the creeds
Of Jefferson and Lincoln, as had the
populists' party platforms from the be-
ginning, but the convention named a
candidate that commanded the respect
and confidence Of every follower OF
Jefferson and Lincoln to SO great a
degree that the peoples party put
patriotism and country above party,
refused to nominate another candidate
but accepted the democratic candidate,
and had the nominee for vice -presi-
dent stood for what the nominee for
president did, that candidate also
would have been accepted.
with the help Of the peoples party
and patriotic silver republicans under
the lead Of Teller, Towne, Dubois, Can
non and Pettigrew, we polled for that
ticket more votes than any ticket Of
any party had ever before received In
the history Of the nation. Today We

POLITICAL NOTES.
Something More About Mr.. Lyman and
His Views on the War-Re-
publican Rally.

In trying to evade responsibility for
his utterances. Candidate Lyman alb
ruptly closed several days ago "a dis
cussion which was evidently becoming
distasteful to him. in a letter in which.
he denied that he had placed Agulnal-
do on par with George Washington.
II It were not for the fact that Mr..
Lyman is seeking TO control the schools
of Clatsop County, 1t would hardly be
worth while to follow up his record on
the Philippine question, since he. and
the others who think as he does. are
In such a hopeless minority in this
country as TO create no concern as TO
their attitude toward the United
States.
But do the citizens OF Clatsop County
want a man to govern the education
OF their children who. over his own
signature, publishes the following as
his belief and convictions?
Greetings to you, Aguinaldo.
Aid and comfort. II you please;
Greetings to you Aguinaldo.
Waited down the Western seas.
"Aguinaldo. you're a hero,
Such as swells our heart with pride,
To our own and all the heroes.
Aguinaldo. you're allied"
and a half dozen more verses of the
same tenor.

And the section of the statutes fol-
lowing the above. after providing for
the punishment Of traitors-which
shall be death or Imprisonment at
f, hard labor for not less than five years
with a fine of s1O,OOO-says that such
traitors shill be incapable Of holding
any office under the United States.
II Mr.. Lyman never placed Aguin-
aldo and George Washington on a par,
what does he mean by saying the Ia
gallo is "allied" to all our heroes? Mr..
Lyman has now an opportunity to
write another letter-but he will
have hard work in eradicating from
the minds OF the loyal voters. CT all
parties, the sentiments Of hostility to
our government and praise for its enc
mics. he has so freely expressed in
the past.
Let the youth Of the land be taught
loyalty in their youth and not have
held up to them as an example Of

While Pohl has been doing no ex-
planning some of his friends have, and
the result is that Mathena's friends

Pohl's declaration-are more han an
cry. and now propose to bring him to

Pohl can hope to be coroner. z. P.
Parker, the republican nominee, viii
carry the full strength of his ticket and
that will easily elect him. But it will
be amusing to watch the little row
in the Independent camp when Mathe-
ma drives Pohl into corner and makes
him either admit that his friends have
explained him into trouble" and that
ne did break his word with Mathena
or else deny that he ever gave his word
not to run as an Independent.

to hurt Pohl in his canvass than all his
