Word CAUSES I'LL
Populists Appeal to Attorney
General on Law.
MUST" PARTYOR TICKET"
Be Used on Official BaUot?-
They Demand Former

Topeka, Kan, Oct 10.-John Curran,
secretary Of the Populist state central
committee, yesterday addressed a letter
to Attorney General GODDARD requesting
him to hand down written opinion as
to the manner the names Of the various
parties should be placed on the official
ballots. Secretary Of State Clark insists
that the names should be put on as the
Republican Ticket" or Democratic
Ticket" while Mr.. Curran claims that
the proper manner is 'Republacna Party
or Democratic Party
The whole question has arisen from
the fact that if Secretary Of State Clark
is upheld, the Populists must select a
new name. Peoples party is, in common
usage, a compound word, and cannot be
separated without destroying its sense.
Peoples Ticket would not signify that
it was the Peoples Party Ticket and
voters would be confused. Not only this,
but it would not be the name of the par
ty. The word "Populist" was coined by
David Overmyer after the formation Of
the Peoples party because il was i'm
possible to refer TO a member of that
organization by one word. You could not
call man "Peoplelist" or ''Peoplelic."
However, should Mr.. GODDARD uphold Mr.
Clark and decide that the Populists have
been legislated out Of their name, Mr..
CurTan says the matter viii be taken
into the supreme court and the constitu-
tionaIity of the law tested. 1t is expected
Mr.. GODDARD will hand down his opinion
in q few days.
Yesterday Assistant Attorney General
Clayton passed upon the double ballot
question. He held that a separate ballot
must be provided for the township nomi-
nees and another for the nominees for
county commissioner and county high
school trustees. The former win be
known as the Township Ballot and
the latter as the General Ballot
