Glenn Still q Populist.


Chairman Andrews of the populist
party is out with statement that Con-
gresham Glenn has not yet turned DEM
ocrat. Following is the letter he sends
out for publication:
1.-THE statement now going the rounds
OF the press that Congressman Glenn has
joined the democratic party is erroneous
l have letter from Mr.. Glenn in answef
to query from me relative to this very
matter, and written after the Evening
Capital News and other papers had pub
lished this so-called intelligence. In
this letter Mr.. Glenn says that the state
ment is false, that he is still member of
the peoples party organization and that
he has no pre- sent intention, at least, of
joining the democracy.
II wish. in this connection, to state
that this news, industriously circulated
under glaring headlines by the demo.
cratic press, is only part of their scheme
of breaking up our party, by fair means
il possible, but at all events. to break up
the party. If this class of papers will
give this denial one-half as much pub
licity as they gave the original false state
ment, shall be most agreeablv sur
prised.
II also wish to state that, in this effort
of Heitfeld to break up our party, the old
time leaders of the party are standing
against the effort, almost without ex-
ception. The statement appearing very
often that shere is a stampede of popu-
lists to the democratic party is not true.
There is no stampede. On the contrary,
the real leaders of our party are solidly
against the schemes of Heitfeld. The
only men who have apparently left are
such men as Jacobs and Taylor, and the
party is breathing easier at the prospect
that they have finally deserted it. Their
Punch and Judy show of maintaining an
organization, with the democratic Judge
Sample as the cat to pull their chestnuts
out of the fire, is fooling no one. The
party is solidly behind the state commit
tee in its fight against these people, and
any amount OF whistling on their part to
keep up their courage will not change
this fact particle.
The paper about to be inaugurated
by the state committee will probably be
issued about the middle of April. re
had intended issuing it sooner, but could
not very we'll do so. 1t will be issued
now as soon as possible and the matter is
being prepared for the first issue. From
all appearances, it will meet with fat
tering reception at the hands of our vo-
tiers, who are not taking kindly to the
effort of Heitfeld, Jacobs and Taylor to
herd them into the democratic organiza-
ton, in return for official places to the
three gentlemen named.
II trust that the democratic press will
give both sides of this controversy and
not attempt to garble and misquote and
misrepresent our, party and its leaders
in the future as they are now doing
Such action on their part is not conduc
i've to making populists feel kindly to
ward the swallowing process the democ
racy is now trying to perform. A little
truth mixed in with their general method
of wilful and deliberate misrepresentation
would have most salutary effect on the
situation"
