BROWN OUT FOR CAMPBELL.

Major w. L. Brown of Kingman
Populist, buckled on his armor and
will lead the fight for /. p. Compbell
the Populist nominee for congress in
the Seventh district. Major Brown
was a candidate for the fusion nomina-
ton for congress in the Seventh dis
trict and was the leading Pop candi-
date. The other candidates combined
to prevent his nomination, and when
he found he could not land he threw
his strength to Campbell, nominating
him. The Democrats refused to in
dorse Campbell, but put up candidate
of their own, Claude Duval Brown
has been trying to get the fusion fore
es together on one nominee, but he
has given IT up in despair. He says
that the attitude of the Democratic
congressional committee in regard to
Campbells proposition for both candi-
dates to retire fromthe raceha enraged
every true Populist in the district, and
they will never support Duval under
any circumstances. Should Campbell
withdraw from the race of his own no.
ton, the major says, a majority of
~
ist candidate in preference to Duval
up until this week only three Pop
ulist papersin the Seventh district have
placed Campbell's name at the mast
head" said he. THE chances are that
all of them will put it up now, and be-
gin supporting Campbell. They have
refrained from doing so, o,believing some
compromise seems out of the question
now. i never put Campbell's name at
the masthead of my paper, but it will
go up this week and will stay there
until election day, if Campbell stays
in the race, and if he does not, then
some other name-I am quite sure it
will not be Duvals-will go up. Other
Populist editors of the district feel the
same way. / will print an editorial
in Fridays issue giving my views in
the matter. The Democrats will have
no trouble in understanding my lam
guage.
'Campbell's proposition for both to
withdraw and permit the election of
another candidate by a joint conven-
ton was fair and manly and deserved
consideration, and courteous reply,
ait least, from the Democrats. But they
saw fit to treat it with contempt. Now
the Populists of the district feel like
backing Campbell up, and they will do
it. They have five times as many
votes in the district as the Democrats
and, with three candidates in the field
Duval will run bad third. In fact
he would not get votes enough to put
him in the also ram class. The fight
will be between Campbell and Long
Duval can not be elected now under
any circumstances. He would be
showed under if Campbell was out OF
the race. The Democrats might as
well understand it at the beginning OF
the campaign and stop their bulldoz-
ing. They have gone as far with
their bluffs as we will stand. The
Populists will call them and make
them look like 80 cents in nickels
when the ballots are counted"

A WORD TO THE DEMOCRATS.

Kansas is not and will not become a
Democratic state. New York and In
diana will, as in the past, go Demo-
cratic, but Kansas nevel Ids and never
will. Kansas will be Populist or Re-
publican. Democracy stands for much
but not all of Populism. All that
Democrats have ever gained political
ly has been due to the organization
and growth of the Populist party. 1t
has been able to accomplish what De-
mocracy never has done and never can
do. Democratic support has been and
is necessary to the success of Popu-
1ism, but upon the maintenance intact
and in healthy working order of its
organization depends the keeping of
Kansas out of the Republican column.
A slight loss to the Democracy will not
be serious so long as there is fusion,
but let this loss be carried to the
point desired by some ever-zealous
and short sighted Democrats, let this
transfer of voters be carrietito the
point of seriously weakening the Pop
ulist organization and Kansas goes
back to the Republican column. The
great majority of Populists are social
lists, firmly convinced of the justice
and the wisdom of that for which
they contend. They will not go back
ito either old party. They will work
with Democrats toward common end
but if too great an effort is made to
curtail those principles and to lead to-
wards either old party whether right
or wrong, they will not go. Wisdom
on the part of the Democratic party
will be not TO attempt to take from,
but to increase the voting strength
and perfect the organization of the
Populist party. The near approach of
Kansas Democrats to Populism and
their united action makes the danger
along this line greater. Zeal and de-
sire for immediate party success should
not lead one ally to take course that
will render it impossible for the other
to do what is necessary for united sue
cess. Populists will and should stand
for the maintenance and strengthen
ing of the organization and the carry
ing out of the whole Populist program

We have some excellent speakers and do wish the farmers might avail them- selves of some of the benefits to be deriv- ed. There are not enough farmers who attend. Perhaps we may awaken little interest which will spread. I sometimes do not wonder that my friends ask me ''if think 1t will ever pay me to spend SO much time and energy to arouse the farmers." We'll, I guess it will! don't know " what better thing can do for the world. wish you would give notice of meeting of milk producers to be held at New Milford, next week Tuesday, the 18th. A very important meeting and all should attend. The farmers in this sec. tion do not generally understand what the farmars iu the western sectien of the field supplying New York city are doing. There is . project on foot at prese ns which will greatly benefit us all, if we only do our part which we may do easi- ly. Perhaps word in your paper will create an interest.
