1t makes my blood boil to see the

ported Hay to these arrogant tyrants.
The Minneapolis Farmers Tribune, or
Tory Tribune, says that Mr.. Macrum
was too light man for the place (as
consul at Pretoria), because he refused
to do England's dirty work, and be-
cause he protested against the British
censor tampering with his mails Now
the place Is held by STRIPPING who got
the appointment because he was son of
his father and because he was accept

tied and hobnobbed with on his way to

The Tribune also says that THE init

ment that there was a secret alliance
between Great Britain and the United

Very likely. Ridicule is the defensive
weapon of rogues and rascals when they
are cornered. 1t serves them as well as
a. certain favoring extract serves a

Mr.. Macrums statement confirms the
truth of the article published in The

is given as follows: 1.-THE American gov
eminent has warned the others (the
European powers) of her intention to
side with England, should any of them
interfere and The Tribune headed this

How can we, as true Americans. stand
to see our government enter into a
secret alliance with a rotten monarchy.

the purpose of crushing two small re-

Editor Representatives: The ewes If
the whole state will rest on Hennepin
county this fall because of the fact that
here, for the first time, will be tried the
plan long advocated by many of us, to
nominate candidates for public office
by direct vote of the people, and to
discard nominating conventions entire
~. The only thing 1 am sorry for is
that the latest primary election law did
not extend all over the state instead OF
being confined to Hennepin country.
But let us all hope that the next legis-
lature will SO extend it and to that end
let all reformers only vote for candi-
dates for the legislature who are
pledged to vote in favor of direct legis-
Iaticn at all times, not only in primary
elections, but general elections as well.
politicians will work against extending
the primary election law, even as the
Democrats worked against it at the time
OF its passage, because they we'll know
that under it's workings only the best
and most favorably known candidates
can land nomination and that cliques
and gangs cannot form combinations
to defeat the voice of the people.
Scheming party bosses will not relish
this result, but the comman voters will
rejoice to see his little power thus ex-
ercised in union with thousands OF
others, bring about such mighty up
heaval in politics.
Extend the same privilege to voters
all over the state and we will see
parties" melting away and a great
mass of Independent voters taking their
places and not only placing their best
men in office, but will crystalline into
law the very best thought of the times.
Give us direct legislation and schemers
cannot fool the people all of the time"

pleased with it and I sincerely wish
more of the country people would sub
scribe for it and learn the truth. The
condition Of us farmers in this part of
the country is to work hard, wear shah
by clothes, pay high prices for all neces-
saries we must buy, and get low prices
for what we produce and have to sell,
such as wheat, oats, barley and hay, and
such condition nowadays is called
prosperity for the farmers-cheap labor,
dear money-plenty of it, too, and
more coming.

so without let or hinderance There is
no law to prevent men from making
asses Of themselves. II they intend to
nominate Barker and Donnelly their
convention is entirely unnecessary, as
those gentlemen are already nominated
and will remain candidates to the end.
1t is the middle-of-the-road ticket and
will remain SO entirely regardless of
anything that may be done by visionary
impracticables.
The great curse to all reform move
ments in this country has ever been the
utter lack of common sense shown by
the leaders. How such men ever be-
came leaders is more than l can ex-
plain. Totally destitute of political
sagacity, they invariably kill everything
they touch.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS udSIouoQ 10 get IN

this hits Mr.. Donnelly 1 cannot help it.
If he persists in going into Democratic
side shows he must expect to get hit.

that the best thing has happened The
sheep and the goats are now separated.
Thank God for that. The Butler and
Allen crowd have thrown of the mask
at last. They are now acknowledged
Democrats and every man who follows
them knows exactly where he is going.
Our fight is over. There is no longer
any fusion question to bother U.S. 1t is
the duty of every true Populist to close
up around Barker and Donnelly. It is
a magnificent ticket and one of which
