There was a banquet in Chicago not
long ago to which one of the guests,
a lawyer, had taken his office cat,
a feline being the emblem of the or
ganization that gave the dinner.
The banquet was given in the Great
Northern hotel, where the cat the
lawyer had. taken to the dinner be-
came lost. The next day the lawyer
called up the hotel on the telephone
and asked if they had his cat yet.
He was told that the bell boys had
hunted all around among the cats
kept as rat catchers in the hotel, and
that they had finally selected four
cats, one of which they felt sure be-
longed to the lawyer. well" said
the lawyer, Il haven't time to come
over and pick my cat out. Just hold
those animals one by one up to the
telephone receiver, and pinch then
tails and make them yowl." One of
the bell boys dutifully held up the
cats to the telephone, and made each
one of the felines give a good, re-
sounding wall. The lawyer dismissed
each cat until the third cat was put
up to the receiver. It gave one

ally exclaimed: ''Yes, all right; that's

your committee realizes that queS-
IONS have arisen involving the rights

our party, their power TO make their
will effective through the ordinary
methods and forms OF law and that
the election machinery, whose object
should be to aid the people in the ex
preston of a free choice among men
and measures, has been perverted SO
as to thwart such expression.
Believing that in all times of doubt
and danger. as we'll as when questions
involving the rights and interests of
the people are pending, and having in
view the fundamental principals OF
populism which demand that they, the
entire party membership, shall have
voice i'll deciding party policies and
party expressions, we have decided to
call delegate conference in which
the whole party in the state may be
represented and council together as
future course.
tremendously united in our devO-
ton, TO the principles for which our
party has stood through all it's history
as we'll as our attachment to the or
ganization in which we have stood
shoulder to shoulder for decade;
with no thought of abandoning our
warfare on economic evil nor of low
ering in the slightest degree the stan
dards of civic righteousn esS we have
set up, yet we cannot ignore the fact
that conditions confront us which rem
der new political methods indiSpensa-
BILE to success.
Possessing the power to harass and
Cypress opposing parties, our republi-
can opponents in the last legislature
used it to enact a ballot law which
depriveS those parties and the people
who compose them of the right to
nominate and vote for such candidates
as commend themselves to their judg-
ment and to their consciences; and at
! the same time render the ballot a Jug
Cling puzzle to every voter who is not
party slave. By such legislative OPP
preston and infamy they evidently
proposed to insure for the republican
party perpetual lease of power, and
they have succeeded in practically dis
franchising nearly one-fourth of the
voters who participated in the last
election since the enactment Of that
partisan, unjust and unfair ballot law.
To take measures and decide upon
line of policy to circumvent these
plots and Vaccinations of our republi
can opponents, we have deemed con-
| ference representing the entire mem
berShip of our party both prudent and
necessary. We must decide whether
we will go into d triangular contest,
thus allowing the common enemy to
devide and conquer us in detail and
rendering success impossible next
year OF for years to come, or whether
| we will plan to continue cooperation
with those who have been our allies
during the last two national contests,
in working for the overthrow of the
republican denomination and the res
toration and preservation Of those
rights and privileges of which that
party has plotted to deprive US.
Various plans have been suggested
by which we can circumyent our adj
versaries and the delegate conference
which we have agreed to call will IN
doubtedly be able to decide whether
