RANK AND FILE OBJECT.
Populist Voters Don't Like Deal With
the Democrats.

The Populist headquarters in Topeka
are being flooded with letters of com
plant against the fusion deal which
was made in Topeka last Saturday
night, and the politicians fear that the
deal win be smashed when it goes to
the state convention.
The ire of the Populist farmer has
been aroused by the declaration that
David Martin shall not be given a
place on the Populist ticket. This de-
mand was made by the Democrats, and
the Populists bowed their heads and
swallowed it. Now the rank and file
are making a demonstration about the
cowardice of the state committee, and
it is believed by some of the faithful
brethren that the convention viii not
take the dose which was administered
to the state committee.

English Athletes VIII he Fitted Ac-
cOrdfnE tn Most ImprOy~d Ideas

An observaDt gentleman. who returned
from abroad last week. saw the American
athletes score their sweeping victories over
the EnSlishmen in London. and again IN
Paris run rings around the foreigners"
The most interesting statement made by
the gentleman concerning the international
athletic contests was that six English ath-
letes were to be put through a course Of
training patterned closely on the American
system. to see If the Englishmen could be
brought up TO the American standard of
proficiency.
You know when the Englshmen were
beaten" the gentleman remarked. THE ex-
PLANTATION was advanced oyer there that
our amateurs We're trained Just as carefully
as professionals while their amateurs they
said. did not go to so much trouble in fit
ting for contests. coming from their bust
ness to the athletic field. They thought our
success was due to our training methods
and now they are going to try this manner
of training.
II saw the athletic games in London and
those in Paris. There wasn't much enthu-
siasm except among the American specta-
tors. They did all the yelling while the
English received the American victories IN
silence. The ability of the American ath-
letes amazed them. particularly Kraenzlein.

year.
