Socialism better presented in a short
speech than by Mr.. Lucas on that occa-

we believe we convinced the students
when our turn came OF the superiority
of Populism, with the dog-in-the-mang-
er Populists weeded out. While the
majority of the people of our country
favor our principles, we will never win
until harmony Is secured by some sort
of political harvest screen that will
separate the chaff from the wheat. An
army merely large In numbers cannot
win. It requires quality, unity of pur-
pose, honesty and bravery.

Why are the little elevators continu-

ing swallowed up by the department

How much better chance will the lit
tie farmers elevators have against the
concentrated lines and immense capital
of the big elevators, without even the
naturalization ofdthe railroads? Will
Lind's Democratic horde of hungry of
fice-seekers regulate" them, la Bry-

concerns? How can they, since these
big concerns DEAL through intervening
commercial agents who O>handle the re-
bates, and whose self-interest totally
prevents any legislature from proving
these Determinations in favor of the
large concerns? To ask these questions
is to answer them.
Populists that will meet at Cincinnati
May 8, not fusion Democrats, will con-
stitute the single party carrying out
the only effective answer to above ques-

OF railroads, shipments to terminal ele-
