| am still of the opinion that If the
republican party is ever ousted from
power, it can only be done by unit
ing of all reform forces, under some
form of agreement. This, however,
might be done by each party having
its own organization, agreeing upon
nominations through committees APP
pointed by each party. The Denver
conference is all right. If the peoples

take time, work and money. Can it

BARKER AND sTREETER.

Although Messrs. Barker and Street
er sent in their names for enrolment
in the Old Guard of Populism, it was
with the express understanding thai
neither of them approves the work oil
the Denver conference. Both of them
are enthusiastic for precinct organi-
zation of the peoples party which will
permit the nomination Of president
and vice president, as well as all other
nominations, by direct vote. The Den
yer conference contemplated meet
ing of the national committees repre-
senting both wings of the peoples
party, to be held in st. Louis, Feb
ruary %, 1904, for the purpose of fix
ing time and place for holding a
delegate convention of the peoples
party. This is the work of the Dem
yer conference to which both object,
holding it to be a violation of the
Cincinnati plan of nomination.

Before sending out any printed mat
ter relative to enrolling the Old Guard

ter to Chairman label and the divi-
sion organizers, because there are
points Of similarity, and / did not
wish to encroach upon the work as
signed these gentlemen. Mr.. label,
in his reply said: THE plan OF Mr..
Streeter is all right; but failed be-
cause it did not have the support OF
the national committee. After doing a
lot of work, receiving no support, and
losing confidence in the powers that
be, | quit politics and have attended
strictly to business. have no desire
to re-enter politics.
Anent this Paul Dixon, editor OF the
Missouri World, said: II am delight
ed to learn that you are moving to
put the reform cause III the hands OF
the rank and file. Our paper made
strong pull for this system and met
with hearty support from the masses
OF the party, but the divided condition
of our organization and lukewarmness
of men in charge prevented its sue
cessful fulfllment. :. Mr.. label made
an earnest effort to put the plan in
operation, but Mr. Parker held that 1t
was impossible under existing cOndi-
tions and did not give his official help.
Practically nothing was accomplished,
owing largely, of course, to the party
being divided into two quarrelIng fac
tions and the hopelessness Of party
growth or even holding It's own under
such conditions. But our people like
the plan and are without faith in the
convention system. We took through
our paper referendum vote on the
question of holding the Nashville con-
ference in 1897 and received direct
over $4,000 votes. IL we can now en-
roll that many populists, who take an
active interest in the affairs OF the
party, it will be better than the con-
vention system, and 1t will at once
inspire confidence"
