Mr.. Clemens will obtain the notorietv
he so much loves and Republican papers
may continue to deny charges that
have not been made and make explana-
tons that do not explain.
If the Republican papers, led on BY
the Kansas City Journal, wish to take up
the old American Book Company fight,
we are Just as ready to meet it as we
were three years ago. when we made the
charge still unanswered of attempted
bribery of the legislature and interior
ence in the educational affairs of the
state against it.
We have but a country week
ly paper and limited experience
and ability in this capacity as compared
with the large array of talent which for
some strange reason has turned its bat

the lie to the contention of our fathers
that there should be no taxation without

Out of the imperialism which would
force an undesirable domination upon the
people Of the Philippines, springs the I'M
American cry for large standing army.
Nothing in the character or purposes Of
our people justifes us in ignoring the
plain lesson Of history and putting our
liberties in jeopardy by assuming the
burden of militarism, which is crushing
the people Of the old world. We de-

efforts to substitute a standing army for
the citizen soldiery, which is the best
safeguard of the republic.

We extend to the brave Beers of Soutl
Africa our sympathy and moral support
in their patriotic struggle for the right o.
self-government, and we are unalterabl,
opposed to any alliance, open or covert
between the United States and any Other
, nation that will tend to the destruction
of human liberty.
And further manifestation of i'm
perialisn is to be found in the mining
districts OF Idaho. In the Occur d'Alene
soldiers have been used to overaws
miners striving for greater measure Of
industrial independence. And we de.
nounce the state government of Idaho
and the federal government for their at.
tempt to abridge the civil rights of the
people and to enforce an infamous per.
nit system, which denies to laborers
their inherent liberty and com9els them
to foreswear their manhood and Their
right before being permitted to seek EN-.
oloyment
The importation of Japanese and other
laborers under contract to serve monopo-
listic corporations is notorious and flag
rant violation OF the immigrant laws.
We demand that the federal government
shall take cognizance of this menacing
evil and repress it under existing laws.
We further pledge ourselves to strive
for the enactment of more stringent laws
for the exclusion of Monaghan and Ma
layan immigration.
We indorse municipal ownership of
public utilities and declare that the ad-
vantages which have accrued to the pub
lie under that system would be multiplied
a hundred fold by its extension to natu-
raj interstate monopolies.
We denounce the practice of issuing
injunctions in the cases of disputes be
tween the employers and employees,
making criminal acts by organizations
which are not criminal when performed
by individuals, and demand legislation
to restrain the evil.
We demand that the United States
senators and all other officials, as far as
practicable, be elected by direct vote of
the people.
Believing that the elective franchise
and untrammeled ballot are essential to
government of, for and by the people,
the Peoples party condemns the whole
sale system Of disfranchisement by CO.
ercion and intimidation adopted in sone
states, as Republican and uni Democratic.
And we declare it 10 be the duty of the
several state legislatures to take such
action as will secure full, free and fair
ballot and an honest count.
We favor home rule in the territories
and District of Columbia and favor the
early admission of the territories as states.
We denounce the expensive red tape
system, political favoritism, cruel and
unnecessary delay aud criminal evasion

there is no doubt but the Republicans do
occupy an enviable position in this matter.

news that they might have room to con-

how soon their sympathies are aroused in

on wood pulp. Then again four years

That Threatened Libel Snit.

Much space has been given in Repub-
lican papers to paragraph appearing in
this paper two weeks ago. We are
pleased TO note how extensively the
VOICE is read and are very much sur
prised that all of the great Republican
dailies find it necessary to deny what
was never charged-that G. c. Clemens
is in the pay of the Republican state
central committee. Their loud and re-
peated denials might lead some to be-
lieve that it is really true. But for this
we are not responsible. We are pleased
to note that the Republican papers are
now saying that Clemens is honest and
are also gratifed to know that he has so
many able friends and defenders. This
man upon whom for years they have
exhausted their vocabulary of invective
and abuse-an honest populistl wonder
full admission wonderful change of heart
somewhere!
In answer to letter from Clemens we
wrote the following:
"a few weeks since a certain paper
called your attention 10 the fact that Re-
publican money could be obtained for
what you were doing. In an interview
you stated, if correctly reported, that
money would be entirely ac-
ceptable. Upon this and some other in
formation which seemed to Justify my
statement that you did not deny receiv-
ing Republican money my statement was
made Now that have your letter de-
1ying that you have received Republican
money | have no disposition to doubt

'ully admit my error and will willingly
give the correction the same publicity
