that ne would do nothing al all for the

In fact. as see their situation they
can't do anything FOR him They are be-

proposition. There Is no more affinity
between a mid-road Populist and a
Bryan Popuiist than there Is between a
Digger Indian and Greek god.
But owing 10 the peculiar conditions
which have prevailed In this county. these
two elements have not yet separated
