The Peoples party will nominate can
didates for president and vice president
at Springfield, Illinois July 4th. What
was formerly the Parker middle of-the.
road wing and the Allen fusion wing
are again united. Should the Demo.
Gratis be foolish enough to nominate a
Cleveland man it is highly probable
that the Populists will regain their old
time strength and Democracy in the
west will again be demOralized. The
way for Kansas democrats to avoid
this is to stand hrmly for William r.
Hearst who can solidify Democrats,
POpulists and liberal republicans
throughout the union.

am still here and learning just a
little more every day about this country
For instance, find shat renters pay as
high AS SIS per acre cash, and when they
rent on "share'' basis they pay two
hfths OF the crop and high cash rent
An ordinary renter will pay more in
five years than farm in Kansas would
cost HIM. and Kansas land is as good as
the land here.
The people here are not an excltable
people. / haven't seen them excited
to any great exteut more than once.
Last Thursday at Girard 1 noticed a
crowd collected on the north side of
the square and. supposing something
serious was taking place, l hurried over
and found the excitement was caused
on account of someone's discovering
that the mud had settled for distance
of nearly block so that buggy
would run on top.
l saw. 40 acre tract of land here that
has recently sold for $75 per acre. and
part of it is so poor you could hardly
raise disturbance on it.
The people of Illinois are not so hard
set against Kansas as they used to be.
Some of them are almost willing to
admit that we are actually citizens of
the United States, and now and then, in
conversation, they appear to be willing
to permit us to give reason for living
in Kansas.
Farmers have to do great deal more
work to get a crop here than Kansas
farmers. One man told me that last
spring he plowed his land for corn and
then worked the land over nine times
before he got it ready to plant. How
would our Kansas farmers like to ex-
change places with this man and give
up two fifths of the crop for the
privilege?
l don't know just what date will
leave here but do know that [ have
no inclination to lease an Illinois farm.
have not been able to get over much
of the country on account of bad roads.
have to "hoof it" part of the time
and little of that reaches long way
with me.
l am scattering all the Kansas sun
shine can and hope to be able to at
least make some of them wish they
were with US.
Before close just want to say that
for a good, hard DEMONSTRATING wind,
last Wednesday night was up to, If not
ahead of, the Kansas standard, and
now they don't dare refer to our windy
weather for will throw 1T back at
