Populists should not. fail to writa
upon the ballot the nanes of three Bar
ker and Donneliy electors. To make
sure. that it is done correctly, clip the
names found elsewhere on, this page and
copy them into your ballot as we have
them here. Before the name of each
elector write the words Presidential
elector." and following the name of each
elector write the words 'Midroad Pop
ulist Barker" It is important that
these names. be thus designated as
Presidential electors" and "Midroad
PoDulists" for Barker, otherwise the
election officials might throw the votes
out on the claim that it was uncertain
what Office the voter intended these
three names to fill. Clip from this paper
and copy onto the ballot exactly as we
have it. and if the votes are not then
counted and returned. we will raise
hades with the Minnesota election. If
the old parties, are hunting for trouble
they can find it by refusing to count
Barker and Donnelly votes. E. A. T.

Appeal to Citizens

Honorable Citizens of the United
States:
1t is surprising to us Populists no y
any working man can support either of
the old political parties. when gentlemen
as honorable, intelligent and trust
worthy as Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Donnelly are running for president and
vice-president of the United States, and
who advocate principles as far ahead of
the Democratic or Republican party as
day is ahead of night. They stand on
a platform of which one issue. direct
legislation, means more for the welfare,
equalization, education and liberty Of
the common people of the United States
than the whole Republican and Demo-
cratic platforms combined.
Direct legislation would give every
man free and equal rights and enable the
working class to COMPEL the officers 81

made out. and as the other brother was
able to control the unfortunate one bet
ter than anybody else, he was duly
deputized by the sheriff to carry his
brother to the asylum. The two men
looked SO much alike that the same de-
scription would fit either.
Shortly after the brothers reached the
asylum. the sheriff received the follow
ing telegram from the head of that in

OBJECTS TO THE TERM.

to Pose as POpuIist.

to Pose as PopuIist.
RED WING. Mimi, Oct. 27-(Times spe-
ciaD-John r. Lowe, Mid-Road Populist
mas, through his attorneys, ordered County
Auditor Lien to remove the word "Populist'
which now appears after the name of Albert
j. Schaller, Democratic nominee for con-
gresham, from the official ballot Lowe
claims that there are Peoples" and Mid
Road Populist" parties, duly organized with
in the state, but there exists no ''Populist''
party. In the counties Of Goodhue, Dakota
and Rice the word Populist appears after
Schallers name. while In the other seven
counties in the district the word Peoples"
appears after his name. Schaller has been
cited to appear at Faribault next Tuesday to
show cause II any, why he should be per-
mitted to use the word "Populist" on the
ballots In the three counties mentioned,
Auditor Lien will consult with Judge Willis
ton and will abide by his decision The ma
jority of ballots have already been printed.
and If change must be made new ballots will
necessarily have to be printed, which means
an extra expense for the counties mentioned.
This Is another dirty attempt of
Democrat to steal Populist votes. Mr..
Swain is chairman of the only Populist
county committee in Rice county and
as such chairman the only man with au-
thority to call county convention. Mr..
Lowe was nominated by our state refer
endum ballot the same as P. ]. Seberger.
OF the Sixth district. and H. E. Boen, Of
the Seventh. Mr.. Swain did not call
any county convention. none was called
and none was held. Schaller is Demo-
crat and in collusion with a few of his
Democratic friends took this method Of
stealing Populist votes. Every true
Populist will repudiate Schaller and
vote for ]. r. Lowe, and explain to all
neighbor Populists the real facts.
This attempt of Schaller's to perpe-
trate this fraud upon Populists of the
Third district should kill him POLITICAL
ly for all time.

Ed. Representative: At the present
moment the Midroad Populists are plac-
ed In an anomalous position. having a
national ticket In the field in other states
and being unable to support it in this.
= We have ample opportunity to reor-
ganize our party upon a more sound
basis in the future and be prepared to
take part in the final struggle between
capital and labor. Allow me to prophesy
as to the future if Bryan Is elected, the
day OF final adjustment will be postpon-
ed for at least eight years. The trusts
and combines will withdraw their money
from circulation, close up their factories
and produce repetition of former Dem
ocratic hard times. If Mckinley is cleo
ted the trusts and combines given full
license, they will soon effectually mono
police every avenue of trade and, 1 be-
lieve, take complete control of every re-
tail establishment and destroy the in
dividual business Of our country. Then
will the people be aroused to full sense
of danger. Then, and not until then.
will the people listen to the voice Of
reason. Populists will no longer be
called anarchists and calamity howlers,
but intelligent, far-seeing statesmen.
Noah, in the days before the flood.
could not arouse the people, but when
that flood descended they beheld the
error of their ways and would gladly
have averted the catastrophe. So will
the people Of today hearken to the voice
of reason when the facts are forcibly
presented to their sight.
We cannot hope for reform through
Bryan when surrounded by such evil
influences, but certainly from McKin-
ley no change may be expected, when
the very men who are leaders Of the
Republican party are the greedy exploit
ers of the people.
When our party is reorganized let us
discard much Of our present platform
and make our final stand upon the two
leading tenets Of Populism, viz: The
initiative and referendum and scientific
paper money issued by the general gov
ernment. Only upon these can we win,
but not upon the many isms which we
are loaded with today can we hope to
win.
Give us direct legislation and the i'm
perative mandate and the trusts will
soon be destroyed. But neither of the
twin frauds dare give us them, as that
would destroy corruption.
Sincerely yours,
r. M. ROBERTS,
Midroad Populist State Central Com
mittee.

ance committee Of the West ever waited
upon in the early days.
Where is there a man on the face of
the earth that would allow his hired
men to borrow money and mortgage his
property for the sole purpose of burn
ing that money? But that is just what
the people of the United States have
been allowing their officers to do:
To borrow gold and bond the gov
ernment for millions of dollars for
the sole purpose Of redeeming the best
and cheapest money the people ever had,
which was greenbacks, and burning
them, leaving the people of this country
without sufficient currency to do the
proper amount of business necessary.
Now, honorable voters of this coun-
try, you have chance to overthrow
these two old corrupt parties and put in
their place party that will give every
man an equal chance for life and lib
erty.
Now, gentlemen, for Gods sake; for
the sake of your country; for the sake

coming generation of America, please
don't miss this chance.

This action will give Minnesota q
Barker and Donnelly electoral
ticket. and II the Republicans
dare to throw 1t out. or fail
to count and return such vote, Populists
will be in position to contest the Re-
publican count with possibility Of
counting Minnesota out of the electoral
college entirely.
It seems to us that the Republicans
have their option between counting and
returning our ballots for Barker and
Donnelly and the chance of losing their
own votes for Mckinley.
Let every Midroader write in these
three names and we will give the Repub-
licans q dose of their own disfranchise-
ment medicine. Copy into the ballot as

WIN. BRYAN's COURSE.

If William Jennings Bryan had made
this campaign upon the money issue he
would have triumphed. He would have
held every state he carried in 1896, and
he would have gained those that went
against him in that year of small ma
jorities.
Even his enemies would have respect
ed persistence and would have largely
supported him.
Instead of that he has practically
abandoned the money question, and
given the lie to all his previous argu-
ments about the crushing weight of the
demOnetization of silver, and has gone
of upon issues that were not involved
In the campaign OF 1896.
If he lied then, many say, why may
he not lie now? If four years ago ne
shook the country from center to cir
sumference, what assurance have the
people that he may not be as wrong on
a multitude of small questions as he
was then on the financial issues?
The question of the crime of 1878"
was gigantic one. 1t effected the whole
world, why should he refuse to mention
1t in his acceptance speech? Why
should he practically ignore it in the
campaign, and make the paramount
issue" some of the questions growing out
of the war with Spain?
He found the issue raised in the plat
form of the Peoples party and he ell
bowed his way to the front and assumed
the leadership of the combined move
ment.
He was bound in good faith to carry
1t out. He had no right to end his
splendid periods in smoke; and to rush
off after score of minor issues.
From the first he was the advocate of
the Democratic party and the enemy Of
the Peoples party. His lieutenants
would not have taken the course they
did without his instructions. In every
state they were more anxious to crush
their allay than their enemy. A union
of forces implied equal rights for both,
but nothing Of the kind was even hinted
at.
He has done his best to destroy the
Peoples party. Those who trusted him
he has made Democrats of. If the move
ment is to have any future it is because
of the men who have refused to be
transferred.
We entered, in 1896, into a campaign
which meant an uprising of the poor and
oppressed against their oppressors; we
end in 1900 by seeing our chosen leaders
seated, cheek by jowl with the repre-
sentatives of everything that is repre-
hensible in politics or morals.
We are forced to ask ourselves the
question: els this the man we worship
ed four years ago." Is this the man
who protested against pressing down
upon the brow Of labor the crown Of
thorns?
He is doomed to defeat. To over
whelming defeat. He has brought 1t on
himself. He has furnished the enemy
with all the argument they need

will employ all the people and will sell
to all the people anything they can buy.

these people can buy only from their
employer, and only the amount he pays
them in wages. He can get from them
