We clip the foregoing from tho Ma,
number Of EltYsed Pomeroys paper
The Direct Legtsl9tion Record. Mr.
Pomeroy seems tp have observed thai
the Midroad PoBplIsts are stronger thar
the fusion Popglists in the South. while
the reverse IL true in the West, and
comments on direct legislation senti-
ment being stronger In the West than
in the South.
Mr.. Pomeroy 10 an earnest advocate
OF direct legislation, it is the reform at
all times nearest his heart and we re-
gard 1t az unfortunate that he should
turn away from the only national party
that sincerely advocates 1t, the Midroad
Populist party.
Mr.. Pomeroy was once Populist, in
fluenced. no doubt, chiefly by the SUM-
port given to Direct Legislation by that
party. While the party was a unit and
worked together Mr.. Pomeroy, aided by
able and consistent Populists, succeeded
In getting through many measures in
Western states looking toward direct
legislation. In the South much .ess
progress was made in this direction.
The reasons are plain. The South is
and always has been Democratic, and
the Democratic party has always op-
posed direct legislation. Thus it hap
pened that Southern legislatures stood
opposed to this principle, both the DEM
ocratic members and the Populist men,
bers as we'll. It must not be forgotten
that Southern Pooulists were mostly
Democratic at an earlier date and held
to some OF the tenets OF that party.
In the West many Republicans favor
direct legislation, most Populists were
formerly Republicans, hence in Western
legislatures direct legislation found
favor with both Republican and Popu-
ASt members. r;
Naturally, when, Western Populists
became Bryanized. they weakened on
direct legislation. wanted it applied only
to municipal. Of at most only to state
Affairs, and began to hedge with consti-
tutional limitations and other subter-
fuges, designed to destroy the chief pur-
poses OF direct, legislation.
When those Bryanized Populists went
to Sioux Falls they patterned their plat
form after the known views of the DEM
ocratic party, the Chicago platform and |
The public utterances Of Bryan, and Mr.,
Pomeroy should see that this is the rea-
son why the Sioux Falls plank on direct |
legislation Is meaningless and that con-
vention went OF with Bryan after tho
Filipino and Boer wars.
The Cincinnati people believed our
1rst concern was at home, our grew
'nces first and foreign nations later.
Ind that direct legislation, the pure
'tuh, was what we wanted first as a
means for the settlement OF all other
luestions.
