instance, II seven members are to be
elected and fourteen thousand votes
have been cast. the quota" will be
two thousand.
Then any one of the candidates who
has a quota or more than quota is
declared elected. If he has more than
a quota, his surplus ballots are trans
ferred to such of the other candidates
as may have been marked No. on
the ballots SO transferred. If the can
didate marked No. on any of these
ballots has already been elected. then
the ballot goes on to No. and so on.
1t never happens that the full num-
Der of members required have quotas of
first choice votes; so we then begin
at the other end. take the man at the
foot of the poll, with the lowest num-
Der of votes, declare him "out of the
count" and then distribute the whole
of his vote amongst the remaining cam
didates, according as indicated by the
voters themselves, each on his own bal
lot. This process is repeated until seven
of the candidates either get quota or
come the nearest to it.
The Hare-Spence system has the
merit of being we'll adapted for use In
electing committees of clubs. trades
unions and other associations. 1t is so

body has used it for six or eight years.

The "single vote" in this case is a

Reply To Gilbert

Editor Independent: Will you please
be so kind as to allow me to reply
to E. A. Gilbert of York. Neb. Had
Mr.. Gilbert refrained from making
erroneous statements. | would feel at
liberty to accept his statements. But
knowing as I do that his statements
are very misleading. l feel it would
be mark of injustice to the indie
pendent party to slightly pass such
statements unnoticed. Mr.. Gilbert
seems to be like few others. ready
to condemn people that are true blue
to the principles of the independent
party. He makes his glowing article
very strong by trying to show the
public that true midrOader that would
do all in his power to vote and save
the party from destruction is only a
tool of deception and a fool ready to
vote the republican ticket at call.
While am mid-road populist, forced
from ne democratic party in 1890. |
defy any man to show where I ever
supported republican party ticket.
Now, in order to show the true facts
in regard to the people that bravery
and fearlessly stood for Watson and
Tibbles, must show wherein Mr.. Gill
bert is false. Here in Franklin county
we have hundreds Of democratic Ger
mans who have stood up for fusion
in years past. But last fall the entire
block of them voted for Parker or
Roosevelt. In one of our strongest
fusion townships Watson and Tibbles
got one vote In our Bloomington
township, where mid-roaders are nu-
merous, Watson and Tibbles had a
large following. This condition pre-
walls. over the enire state. In return
ing from the state convention last
July we had a chance to see and con-
, verse with whole delegations from Sa-
line county. These delegations were
principally Bohemians who wore Par

with one voice for their men. Can Mr..

men voted for Watson and Tibbles
Nay, verify, they knitted them to the
core.

preference, SO as not to ask a repub-
lican for ammunition to kill him with.
So | asked democrats and populists
of long acquaintance for assistance. In
soliciting for help l found every dem
ocrat of fusion faith in the past ready
to say, am tired of fusion; am going
to give them enough of it and vote for
Roosevelt. These democrats were rad
ical fusionists until w. J. Bryan gave
them dose Of his poison. They had
more principle than w. J. Bryan, and
were ready to cast their dagger into
Bryan up to the hilt. They were de-
ceived in Bryan and his actions, and
that was more than they proposed to
stand. These are the kind of men
that failed to support Watson and
Tibbles. But Mr.. Gilbert would have
the public to believe that Watson and
Tibbles got their entire support from
the class That welded the dagger. Mr..
Gilbert surely does not read the pop
ulist papers, or he could surely see the
many thousands of appeals made even
before the conventions against fusion,
and now since the election these many
thousands are still making strong ap-
peals against fusion. Does any sane
man believe Mr.. Gilbert when he tells
you such men refrained from voting
| for Watson and Tibbles and that the
pie eating wing of corrupt fusion did
it all, and that we deceitful mid-roaders
had all voted for Roosevelt? While
detest such accusations. after seeing
our party dictated to by such a class
of men that care nothing for our ex-
istence and stand ready to annihilate
our party.
Before fusion existed for the sole
purpose Of dividing the offices and
spoils we had to our credit seven
states, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado.
Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota. How
did we get them? BY democrats and
republicans uniting on one platform
and in one party. And to show you
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-29

the folly in fusion, we must consider
that this state as we'll as other north
ern states are solid republican now,
leaving the democrats in a minority.
Then when fusion was started with
minority party that W. j. Bryan
was trying to reform, our party was
purged of every good republican and
many democrats that diSapprOved OF
affiliating with party that would not
even recognize single national can
didate of ours.
Now, where do we stand? Without
single state to our credit, hopes
blasted, representative influence cast to
the winds. yet our enemies that de-
stroyed us are making appeals for one
more chance at us. Will we be coaxed
into the belief that w. J. Bryan has
party principles that will unite the re-
publicans. with us, as they were up
until 1896? The more we hObnob with
Bryan, or any other man in other party
ranks, the worse we will be for our
foolish experience. When the people
can see the past corruption and po-
litical downfalls at the hands OF fusion
will they affiliate for a continuance of
defeats to help other parties we claim
no relation with? What we want is
an Independent party, not dependent
party. We want to stand on our own
principles and make them superior to
other parties, make our demands
strong and effective. and our appeals
for pure and just principles will be
sympathetic and very effective. Then,
and not until then. will we ever be
able to. draw votes from the enemy's
ranks.
There are millions of people ready
to take up with our principles, for
they are just what the rank and file
of the people want. But when they
see good men that built UP the party
desert it for a few Of W. ]. Bryan's
whims, the people get disguised and
seek party that has principles and
fearlessly stands by them. We must
show people of all parties that we are
true to our principles, regardless of
temptations. Then, and not until then,
can we hope to gain the confidence
of the voters. Don't let such men as

sent warrant Of arrest to Harrison in
compliance with the requsiticn from

that if necessary reward Of $500 will

original information is said to have

an alleged copy of an Indictment charg-
