will make a hard fight for Barker
and DOnneIly in North Carolina this
YEAR. Editor J. z. Green, of Our
Home is one of the leaders. He says:
I'VE publish elsewhere the platform
adopted by the middle-of-the-road

ism than the verbose concern got
ten out by the Round Bale Trust

convention at Kansas City. We are
forced to choose between these two
and without hesitation we fall into
line with the real POpulists who are
for principle instead of pie

If they had been quiet and decent
and well-behaved this mornings

story. They had the game in their
own hand and their folly threw it
away.

last January, the amendment might
have been defeated by $4,000 simply
because the people did not under
stand it; in other words, were in
doubt, and that the campaign began
