L. ]. Quinby says: "For one, I am OPP
posed to republicanizing the populist plat
form by wording it, as our last one was,
in meaningless and deceptive platitudes.
Such platforms are intended to mislead
only fools. Sensible people never read
them seriously. Such platforms are a dis
grace to any party that poses as a reform
party. l believe our platform should de-
mapd a constitutional convention for the
purpose of revising our constitution.
Among the changes to be made in that con-
stitution should be one ENGRAVING direct
legislation upon the Fundamental law of the
state. 1t is time that the people should
reclaim the initiative, referendum and
power OF recall, not only that they may
propose measures for the public good and
veto the acts OF INSCRIPTIONS legislators,
but that they have the power to recall
those from public ONCE who violate their
trust. 1t should provide means for local
option in taxation, that each community
might raise its taxes in its own way, as
they are this year doing in Colorado. 1t
should make more easy the acquisition by
the people of public utilities In order that
the people at large may profit by public
ownership Of public service utilities. 1t
should make punishable under the criminal
code all employers who blacklist men
whose only offense is that they demand
recognition Of their manhood and their
rights. 1t should provide for q depository
for public moneys in order that public ON
cials shall not profit by farming out public
funds. More than this, our platform should
endorse and defend the principle of state
insurance and the endeavors Of labor unions
to ameliorate the conditions OF the toilers.
1t should demand an immediate and specific
remedy for the extortions OF the railroads
and other public service corporations"

MAKING POPULIST PLATFORM
Timber Now Being Prepared by Douglas
County Party Leaders.
FAVOR PLANS FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION
Prospective Delegates from This
County Say They VIII Consent
to Fusion on Condition tha
"Pop" Heads Ticket.

Douglas county ~populists are arranging
to carry to the state convention a prop
osition for a constitutional convention, a
demand for which they will endeavor to
have Incorporated informally upon the mat
ter for some time and according to state
ments made the sentiment in favor Of the
constitutional convention is unanimous,
while there is a division Of opinion as to
the form. Some believe the plank in favor
of the convention should be brief, simply
stating the necessity for a revision of the
constitution. while others would have the
changes advocated made a part Of the plat
form.
In addition to the constitutional conven-
ton there is much discussion Of the form
Of the platform as a whole and the division
Of opinion is greater there than In regard to
the constitutional provision. Fusion will
also be considered seriously by the Douglas
county contingent before it enters the con-
~vention.

Demand for Jew Constitution.

George Magney says: II believe Ne
braska should have a new constitution and
that the peoples party should be the prime
movers in such a proceeding. The dele
gates from this county will favor the plan
undoubtedly and l am in favor OF having
a plain demand for a constitutional con-
vention and let the details be in a great
measure left to the men sent to that con-
vention by the people. The platform must
be short, sharp and decisive. There is no
time for platitudes, such as were con-
tanned in the last state platform. The
Douglas county delegates probably will be
in favor Of conceding to the democrats a
greater share Of the offices on the state
ticket. but will never consent to giving
that party the right to name the candidate
for governor.
]. ]. Points, who is a member of the popu-
list state committee, says: I'VE want a
constitutional convention, and we want the
peoples party to ask for 1t. We want a
short platform which will mention the IN
d~erlying principles of the party and. we will
be for fusion provided we are permitted to
name the candidate for governor, as was
agreed upon when the democrats named the
candidate for supreme Judge last year. II
the democrats insist upon naming the can
didate for governor it will mean a split.
There should be no politics in the question
of the constitutional convention, but the
best men in the state should be chosen, and
they should be permitted to exercise their
own judgment in framing a document for
the Endorsement Of the people. However, q
provision similar to that in New York, per-
hitting the constitution to expire by limi-
tation every ten years would not be a bad
thing

nine out Of ten pool experts die from

say it is caused by the constant inhala-
