Editor Independent: l am gratified
to learn that you have adopted the
plan of writing to populists through
out the country to obtain their opin-
ions on points regarding populism AMI
the party. 1t is time something were
done and | have no doubt many pop
ulists, who have watched the course
OF events since the great campaigns Of
1896 and 1900, and the efforts made,
and being made, by true patriots, like
Mr.. Bryan and his followers, to save
the democratic party and make it the
party of the people, as its name i'm
plies it should be, are of the same
opinion. If the people are not arous-
I, and that quickly and unitedly this
nations life as republic is ended.
Let any one read the first chapter of
"F'roude's Life of Caesar" and in
sert the name American republic in
place of Roman republic" and he will
have an exact outline of the condi-
tions now fastened upon this nation.
If Mr.. Bryan, and those who are will
ing to follow him, could only succeed,
| am one who will dare to hope, "yet
fear presumption in the hope" that
the calamity of the death of the re-
public might be averted But | am

OHIO POPULIsTs
National Committeeman Hugo Preyor
Tells of Political Conditions In
In His State

Editor Independent: Your favor,
also copy of single tax edition, re-
ceived. I congratulate you and your
contributors in getting out such
valuable paper. 1t would be impertl-
nent on my part should | attempt t,
add anything to what has been said
l can only say that feel that the
time is not far distant when the views
expressed by Henry George will be
enacted into law and a system OF
equitable taxation take the place OF
our present system.
There is one point to which desire
to call attention, viz: the attention
of the laity should be called to the
tax valuation of our county or state
in detail under the old system; it
should then be shown under the
Henry George system, proving our as
Sertion that the farmer and small
home owner gains by the change and
that he who benefits from the un-
earned increment is obliged to pay his
just share of taxation. My 81 years-of
reform work has taught me that the
masses will come with us If we make
our position plain. We must realize
that not every man can grasp or conf
prehend at a glance what some 9th.
ers can. | believe in going into de-
tails instead of generalities. 1t may
be little more work, but it is tins
well spent. -
Your questions I answer as follows.
There is still populist organization
in this state. | am the secretary. We
have, however, affiliated with the
democratic party since the first Bryan
campaign. l do not know of any pop
ulists who have gone into the repub-
lican party; some, perhaps one-tenth
have joined hands with the socialists.
Our future action will depend upon
the action of the democratic party. Il
that party will in national issues favor
the Bryan platform we can indorsa
1t: or Tin state and local issues it will
advocate the platform of Hon. Tom l..
Johnson, who favors home rule, single
tax municipal ownership of all public
utilities, who opposes trusts, combines
and traitors in Office, we can support
it without sacrificing one iota OF our
principles.
The financial question Is in my mind
still the most important question and
until that is satisfactorily settled, not
only along the silver, but the absolute
fat line, the country will witness in
the future what it has in the past
panic, bankruptcy and ruin. The
present tariff holds the structure only
temporarily. Wishing you success and
a hearty greeting to your readers,
among whom | have many. friends,
yours for humanity,
HUGO PREYOR.

cess" which the reorganiZers are able
to make and furnish.
In my judgment the peoples party
should be reorganized in every state
where possible. The next democratic
national convention will doubtless
split in two, the reerganizers obtain
ing control. Two democratic parties
will not do; followers of the Kansas
City platform must have place to
go. The peoples party standing on
the grand principles of the Omaha
platform and other national platforms
since that of 1892 will afford them
just the ground on which to stand.
Those principles meet the demands
of the masses today.
Then what ought populists to do? A
grand conference should be called at
some central point, st. Louis posi-
organization. If the national chair
man, ex-senator Marion Butler, will
not act, then the vice chairman, j.
H. Edmisten, of your city, should, ia
conjunction with the national chair
man of the anti-fusion pOpulists, call
the meeting, or at any rate proper ac-
tion should be taken. The work
should be begun Immediately; there
is no time for delay. Let the party
be once more organized, and keep or
ganized for the future and for the
salvation of the republic.
In reply to your requests as to the
condition of the popultsts in this state
let me say as follows: (a) There has
been no loss of populists in this state;
they have increased, but have been
voting with, and in, the democrat:
party. (b) The condition is due to
fusion both nationally and in state
campaigns. (c) The populists by far
the greater portion vote with the
democrats: I know of none with the
republicans The Bryan democrats.
who are all believers in the main
principles of the populist platform,
compose the greater part of the voting
strength Of that party in this state.
The total vote can be found in any
report of the national or state elec-
ton at your command. believe far
the greater part of these would go
with the populists when the proper
time comes. (d) There is only the
nCLhUidACC VI q popuIlot Va
in this state. DR.. A. w. Nichols Of
Greenyille, Mich, was chosen it's las,
chairman, and Frank Wander Cook CT
st. Louis, Gratiot county, secretary
and l think they are true blue yet.
f) AS to party action next year,
think | have given as nearly as post
sible about the probable course of
populist action in this state if events
go as | have stated; that is, if the
democratic party is captured by the
''reorganizers" or goes back on its
principles, then populists will surely
unite and show great strength. 9th
erwise, if Bryan ideas prevail, they
will stand by him and his efforts.
am doubtful about the single tax idea
being adopted, though I am one OF
it's advocates.

populist principles-or In the single
tax, which goes good way in the
same direction. So rar as am able
to judge the feeling between the sin
gle takers and socialists In this city
is more friendly than in most places.
They are generally disposed to travel
together SO long as they are going in
the same direction. Socialists we
may say are headed for San Francis
co; single takers think we need not
go beyond Denver. Socialists say,
"All right We will keep you COM
pany that far. Ii it turns out that
we do not need to go any farther, We
will stop there. If the need is not met,
you, we trust, will be ready to take
the road with us and press on to the
socialist goal" OF course there ara
important differences in the philos.
ophy, but we are learning that this
need not interfere with good degree
of cooperation.
Personally, think the peoples par
ty-as party-is dead. But all that
was true in it's principles remains true
still, and will to the end. | do not,
however, look for any embodiment Of
these principles in any party plat
form that can possibly be born out Of
present conditions. Those in the
democratic party who are in activ.
sympathy with populist principles arc
too few, in my opinion, to warrant
any hope Of victory through fusion In
1904.
Still, | think they will be numerous
enough to prevent the Bourbons from
nominating their man. Personally,
president and house elected in 1901.
Power and responsibility belong to-
gether. Power Is out of the question
for the democracy in the next con-
gress. They don't want to be in
charge when the breakdown comes.
If they are, they won't be long. l
should be glad to see the republicans
try their tariff and financial policy to
a finale. If the breakdown comes
under their policy, the party that sue
ceeds will have fair chance of hold
ing power long enough to try another.
But If the present party Is thrown
out OF power before the crash comes,
and if that crash follows pretty speed.
lily upon the change, as 1t is very like
ly to do, they would have nothing to
look for but overwhelming defeat in
the next campaign. l should say, Get
good, capable, honest populists and
democrats in the house and senate,
and let them hold these bodies, as far
as they can, to high standards of ac-
ton, and they will do more for the
country than can possibly be done un-
der present conditions, through party
victory.
The first duty of the people is to
get control of the government. Gov
ernment ownership of the railroads
will not amount to much SO long As
the plutocrats own the government
When the people have the sense and
courage to capture the government
they will easily get the railroads and
all other public utilities. The first
fight logically is for popular initiative
and popuar veto. When citizens can
force good bills to a vote, and exer-
else veto power over bad ones, leg
islators can be forced to use their
expert power for public advantage.
Then public ownership of public util-
tiles will be possible in fact as we'll as
in name. ALEX KENT.
