Minneapolis, Minn.
Dear Sir:-Eour "valned friend ana
co-worker," DR.. Fay, who turned out q
traitor" to you and the Midldle-of- the
Road cause, now comes, to light as an
aspirant for the editor-in- chiefship of an
obscure paper, through which he Thinks
he will set himself right with the public.
He says: II know you will faithfully
mail these papers far and wide, as T
am doing" To this I will say, I have
no desire to mislead anyone in my coun-
ty, nor a single one in the state. 1t
may be possible that some Of the state
central committeeman will bite at his
bait, as it comes out in rather a plaus-
able way, but if they do they will re-
gret 1t in time to come.
In the name of common sense, l ask
him what right he had to use any part
OF the money sent by 10 Parker with
OF the state central committee as to
what course he should pursue for the
best interests of the party, rather than
to throw mud at the partys expense to
cover up his cunning schemes?
1 believe it. is nothing more nor less
than matter of pig-headed, over-wean-
ing self-importance when he says that
the national committee granted him
one-man power to expend money at his
option in unorganized counties If this
is fact, then | say the rest of the state
central committeeman are nothing but
set Of asses. l am of the opinion that
he is guilty of treachery against his par
ty. For where there is smoke there
must certainly be fire.
Last May wrote Dr. Fay, inclosing a
self-addressed envelope, with postage,
requesting him to send me an answer at
once. Asking how much ticket
would cost from Minneapolis to Gin
cinnati, Ohio, and back, as l had plan
ned to attend the national Peoples party
to this | received no answer at all from
him. | was suspicious Of his conduct
then, SO my next move was to write out
a proxy, upon which 1 placed a five
cent revenue stamp and mailed it to
him, giving him direct instructions not
to work for anyone else but Barker AMI
Donnelly Even that letter has not
come back from Cincinnati, and it had
return address.
l believe if the state central committee
does it's full duty they will expel him
at once and choose another secretary.
/ am also willing to subscribe 81. to
prosecute him if he does not return the
money he expended without the COM
mittee's sanction
| have another letter which l would
send to show you that he will not hesi-
tate to play cunning games, if he only
had the opportunity to do so. l will
send one of the late letters which he
wrote to me, also the paper which he
calls The Peoples Bulletin, to show his
glorious work for humanitys sake.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN HENDRICKS.
The following is the letter referred
to by Mr.. Hendricks:)
Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct 26, 1900.
Dear Sir:-I know you will faithfully
mail these papers far and wide as l am
doing. l think six or seven papers will
go in each wrapper FOR a one-cent
stamp. Despite the defects of the first
issue, the introduction will show you an
inexpensive plan by which all assistant
editors and stockholders Gf each does
his part can have a paper of national
influence, gradually enlarging, that will
be the unmistakable spokesman for all
wealth producers, and never in the
smallest degree aid any corporation.
Enough have already agreed to start
this paper, but we must not be content
short of substantial weekly
We must depend upon you to secure at
least 81 for stock, to be sent to Capt. J.
J. Hibbard, Duluth, Mimi, and Mr..
Moran will forward you your official cer-
tiicates as one of the assistant editors
and stockholders.
Fraternally,
H. B. FAY,
Temporary Editor-in- Chief
