COME BACK. BOYS.

Come back boys, and take a new
hold Reform needs our united effort
II in 1900 you was pulling on the Bryan
end of the political rope, remember that
in 1904 we shall have an entirely new
game.
George F. Washburn says that 1t
should be led by the man OF the hour.
Let us not be too hasty in deciding who
this man may be, for it is desirable IN
the next contest that we find genuine
reformers all pulling together at the
same end of the rope.
The man of the hour will not be found
pulling all the reformers toward either
of the old parties. The man of the hour
will be that man who has the honesty
and moral courage to pull toward the
reform movement and against both the
OLD parties alike. Come with us and let
us together watch for his coming

OUR FORUM.

The Forum has always been an spec
ial and interesting feature of the Repre-
sentative. Nothing is more interesting
than letters from men of different views,
written briefly, forcibly and to the
point, and right here let us suggest that
all readers appreciate better single
point we'll taken and sustained than a
communication that attempts to cover
the whole political field. The gun with
. choke bore always does the best ex-
ccutton. The plutes have put up plenty
of targets and we extend an earnest in
vitation to all our readers to take a
shot at what seems to him should re-
ceive first attention. When you shoot
don't hit q brother Populist, for already
VIC are too few. e. A. T.

only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mll-

this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling

and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal

50 n Merriam. Mr.. Hanna wants Lowry to
b senator and rs SOON as possible. too.
He thinks that Mr.. Lowry would vote
right" on the ship subsidy bill. Moreover,
they are warm personal friends.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Bixhy's statement
that he Is an Independent candidate. 1t II
believed by those who hold that the ma
chinery Of the senatorial manipulation is
we'll concealed beneath the surface and not
on exhibition In the hotel Hobbies (where
some people think senator's are madel that
Bixby is only q part Of the hyphenated deal
referred to above. According to this theory
Mr.. Bfxby Is merely to be used to hold up
the votes that would naturally 90 to Clapp
or Evans and convert them into material
to swell the Lowry boom later on
And that is why some Third district MEN,
bers are telling Mr.. Bixby that he can
have their votes for himself and not for
anybody else-Theodore M. Knappen, in
Minneapolis Journal.
This senatorial mix-up is none of our
funeral. We already have plute SEN
ate and the addition of one or two more
plutes from Minnesota would not ma
terially affect the senatorial complex
len. We believe, ON the whole. it would
be less Objectionable to send Tom Lowry
than to send Tom Lowry's man Fri
day.
If Lowry himself went to the senate
and voted for the ship subsidy bill and
railroad interests in general, the people
would know who hit them. 1t would all
be done in the open. No one could kick
because Tom looked out for himself ana
friends. There would be no deception
or fraud in such a deed, and il the
people like that kind of deal it is prob
ably the kind Of deal they would like.
1t has the advantage of being much
more honorable than it would be to SEMI
some man to the senate who would go
there as any mans Friday. We believe
Mark Hanna's open, strong handed deal
ing with the peoples servants is not
half so pernicious as the influence of
Rockefeller or Morgan who really con-
troll congress and are careful to never :. .
known in matters of legislation. If Tom
goes it would be nearer our idea of direct
by direct vote such measures as would
be most useful to himself If this isn't
direct legislation, then what is it? IT
we could only send Tom Lowry and Jim
Hill both to the senate we would have
direct legislation dead sure thing,
legislation direct for corporate interests
and all the dinner pals would be full.

IT SHALL NOT DIE.


The Representative was born to live
and it shall not die.
Arrangements have been made to
permanently continue its publication.
1t will be remembered that on Dec. 20
the Midroad state central committee
held it's annual meeting in this Office,
met Mr.. Donnelly and realized better
than he that he was failing and needed
rest. A subcommittee OF 10 of his
nearest friends were chosen to wait up
on him and urge that the party wanted
his leadership in 1904, and that he
needed thorough rest in preparation
for the work of that campaign.
Mr. Donnelly's death came before this
committee had performed it's mission.
heart of it's great founder, much Of his
best life-wOrk was spent in it's upbuild .
ing and support. In recognition Of
these facts, and in Difference to the
wishes of the state central committee OF
Mr.. Donnelly's party his heirs are pleas
ed to have the paper continued in its
founders memory, and in accordance
with the wishes of his party friends and
associates. Some little inconvenience
will necessarily be experienced during
the next three or four weeks while the
paper will, to some extent, be involved
in the settlement of Mr. Donnelly's es-
tate The political complexion of the
paper will not be materially changed.
Its methods may differ from the past
as Municipalities differ. We shall hope
to please our readers, to hold the old
and gain new ones. E. A. T. -.

To the Populi.ts of the state Of Min
mesOta.
You have doubtless read the report
of the state central committee at their
annual meeting Dec. 26, 1900, in the last
issue of The Representative, and their
action looking to the relieving of its
founder and able editor (the Hon. Igna-
thus Donnelly) from his arduous labors
of conducting it for the present believ
ing that it was best for him to give his
tired and overworked brain 2 rest.
But before any conference was held be-
tween him and said committee, the
Creator saw fit to call him from his la
bors to his final rest and reward and
now, through the kindness of Mr.. Stan
Donnelly, his son and special admins
traitor, and his bereaved widow The
Representative has been turned over to
me, as secretary of the state central
committee, and will be conducted under
the auspices Of the committee by E. A.
Twitchell
So the paper will continue to be pub
lished regularly, and go on with the
work it's able founder started, and it is
earnestly hoped that the friends of re-
form will gather around it and give it
their moral and financial support. The
paper will continue to be ably edited by
Mr.. Twitchell. judiciously managed, and
will not slacken it's zeal for reform and
justice to all.

MIsREPREsENrED.

MISREPRESENTATION.
In the last issue of this paper was
published the Associated Press report
of our national committee meeting Dec.
20. at st. Louis.
In our opinion the report was grossly
misleading in representing the sentiment
Of those present rs almost unanimously
asaist cooperating with other reform
ers.
On our front page of this issue We
print report of that meeting, taken
from a Populist exchange and written
by Populist who was present, which
shows the sentiment of that meeting
in a very different light. -.
If we are capable of reading under
standingly. We should say that nearly
every speaker favored united action Of
all reformers.
Mr.. L. H. Weller seems to have made
some utterances that might have been
construed as opposed to coalition, but
he closed by recommending a short
three-plank platform upon which all
reformers could unite, and we cannot
believe this language comes from man
opposed to coalition. Undoubtedly Mr..
Weller would select for these three
planks: Direct legislation, public own
ership and scientific money.
When he does this he stands on the
same platform that we do, he stands on
a platform substantially identical with
the Omaha and Cincinnati declarations
of our party.
No Populist objects to the Omaha or
Cincinnati platforms and no Populist
will ever recede from those principles
The St. Louis conference was called
by 10 A. Parker to consider, not so
much platform principles and declara-
tions, as the question how reformers
Of different parties, agreeing substan-
TALLY upon principles, could cooperate
When our party in 1894 numbered
about 2,OOO,O 900 voters, and in 1900 drop
ped to $4,000, standing on the same
platform, it is time that our party be-
gins to look beyond the platform for
causes of decadence.
The causes are too apparent to be
overlooked. In 1890 to 1894 every Pop
ulist was active in making converts
from the ranks of both old parties. In
1900 the party management had fallen
into the hands of a few leaders who
unWisely, as we believe, hoisted the flag
"Midroad Populists, none other admit
ted"
The policy of our leaders and the at
titude of their following was glaringly
others admitted"
That sentiment expressed by any par
ty will settle the destiny of that party.
The St. Louis meeting was called to
consider whether it was not time that
we should do away with such prohibit
ton.
We believe that many more converts
can be made to our ranks from the old
parties by calling attention to points Of
agreement than by calling them liars,
traitors and fools, because in some
things they disagree with us.
With every other honest Midroader.
we stand opposed to fusion with any
other organization, but no party can
stand still, it must grow or die, if it
grows, it must be by converts from
outside, if it gets converts it must use
molasses instead of vinegar, persua
sion instead of force, argument rather
than epithets, and we say again that
we believe the majority of those in
attendance at the st. Louis meeting
took about these views of our present
party situation.
Our principles are all right; gu:
methods need tinkering. E. A. T.
