or the Democratic platform and state
ticket for 1902 the Farmers Advocate.
the state organ of the populist party,
says. in part:
Whatever may have been the opinion
of the public as to the sincerity of the
democrats of Kansas with reference to
&c uine reform. no doubt is left as to
the attitude of that party. The young
men of the party ran the convention al
Wichita. The crowd that has been
working in the interest of the Republican
party aud the corporations were com
plete1y overwhelmed and swept from
power. The party has been purified
and is now in control of men who stand
for something.
The platform as published elsewhere
certainly stands for the people. AS
Congressman Jackson puts it, 1T is a
and by the people" Heretofore the
platforms have been more or less
platitude of negations. The platform
adopted at Wichita is one of aggression.
Among the more salient things are:
Municipal ownership of water and
.ig b. plants.
Government ownership of the rail
roads.
A just share of taxes to be paid by
railroads.
The abolition of the free railroad
pass.
The election of railroad commission
ers by the people.
The initiative and referendum.
The Endorsement Of the Kansas City
platform.
The candidates whom they nominate
ed are all clean, capable men. Mayor
w. H. Craddock. the nominee for
governor. is man among thousand.
He has been mayor of Kansas City for
a little over a year and has made a
splendid record against the corporation
in the interest of.the people.
His popularity extends beyond party
lines. The nominees for the bench are
well known to the people of the state.
Both are eminently qualified and both
are beyond the reach of the boodler.
Claud Duval. the candidate for secre'
tary of state. made the race for con-
gress on the fusion ticket in the big
Seventh in the last campaign. He is
a clean man in every respect and pop
ular with all classes. The nominee for
auditor. Jim Lewis, is populist in
every sense of the word. No better
selection could have been made. The
ticket is strong and shows that diff
ferent crowd is now in control of the
party.
