NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
At meeting of the representa-
tive men opposed to modern re-
publicanism and old line democra-
cy held at Louisville, Kentucky,
last week, new political party
was launched. 1t will sail under
the name Allied Peoples Party of
the United States.
The platform of the new organi-
cation embodies the platform adj
opted at the conference held at
Kansas City last September, when
a call for a convention was issued
Ito unite the reform forces against
plutocracy." 1t reafirms the
spirit of the declaration of princi-
pals adopted at the national con-
ventions of the Peoples Party in
St. Louis, Omaha and Cincinnati,
and the demand for the initiative
and referendum and the govern
ment ownership of all public util.
tiles are its principal planks,
While the Peoples Party, the
fusion Populists, the Socialists,
the Referendum League, the
Union Labor party. Public Owner
ship party, the Prohibition party
and the United Christian were rep
resented on the floor of the con-
vention, by.accredited or by vol
unteer delegates, only two organi-
cations, the Peoples party and the
. Il y : III
Public Ownership party, had given
their delegates any authority to
form an alliance. It is the hope
however, of the Allied Peoples
Party that other reform forces will
later decide to unite with the or
ganization.
The convention was practically
dominated by the Peoples Party.
At times discussions Of livly ma
ture took place and for a while il
seemed as though the movement
was about to fail, owing to the un;
willingness of a number Of the
Peopl's Party delegates to make
any concessions to the other re.
form forces present.

THE TWO CITY TICKETS.


city tickets are before the people
of Rapid City to be voted on next
Tuesday. The UNION has no per
sonal feeling against any man or
either ticket. 1t favors the cleo.
ton OF the democratic city ticket
not because that ticket is political.
~ democratic, but because its nom.
nees stand pledged to the enforce
ment OF the law. Its nominee for
mayor stands pledged to lawen
forcement and his word is as good
as gold. The men who make up
the balance of the ticket are all
pledged to the same policy, and
the convention which so pledged
the men it named gave that pledge
in all earnestness and with the in-
teniion of its fulhllment in case of
success at the polls.
The republican city convention
made no promises and pledged its
cand dates to nothing, indicating
that it was satisfied with the riot
GUS free-andeasy policy of the
past two years. THE UNION has
no special fight with the law break
ers themselves, so much. Rather,
the blame for the immoral condi-
ton Of this city and the general
defiance of its ordinances lies at
the door of the city government
which has permitted t-chiehy
the mayor. Gamblers and round
ers have defied all laws, city and
state. Prostitution has Haunted
its scarlet in the face of decency.
Grafters have been imported to
prey upon the city's guests. Such
have been the conditions in this
city for two years past, yet in the
faca Of all this, the republican city
convention meets, names its can
didates and says not one word
makes not one promise for a bet
terment Of such a condition.
We believe that the law-and-or-
der element in Rapid City is suf6-

with great dramatic effect. Few OF the
many vocalists and actors in operate
lines this season have created better
impression than Mr.. Wolf did last even-
ing. He is hearty and spontaneous In
his singing. acting and speaking. And he
makes OF the title role a real character
study. The combination OF actor and
singer dem ,nstrated by Mr.. Wolff is one
of the rare things OF the light opera
stage.
Excellent work, too, was the Minna Of
Miss Lemon, whose talents are as pro-
nounced as those of Mr. Wolff. She was
delightful. singing admirably and actiisy
her little part most engagingly.
