WILL REFUSE THE BRIBE

Every candidate on the state ticket
nominated by the populists and demo-
|crats has answered unequivocally the
question submitted by Tie Indepen-
dent with respect TO the acceptance OF
railroad passes and other corporation
brides. In addition to the answers
from candidates on the state ticket an
swers have been received from Messrs.
Hitchcock, Gilbert, Lancaster and Nc
Killip, all candidates for congress on
the populist and democratic tickets.
All these answers are positive and en-
phatic against the acceptance of any
bride from public service corporations
whatever They leave no room to
doubt of the positive and steadfast de-
termination on the part of these can
didates to remain free of the corrupt
ling influences of passes and other ia
yors. These candidates have gone on
record upon this subject There will
be no opportunity for them to ever
evade the responsibility for viola
ton of their words upon this pass
hribe question. even though any Of
them se=alsposed to do SO. They
are pledged -
Similar letters asking the same ques-
ton were mailed to every candidate on
the republican ticket, both state and
congressional. Up TO the time of go
ing to press not one of these republican
candidates had found sufficient courage
to make a pledge upon this question.
1t would seem to be their purpose to
refrain from putting themselves on
record against this form of bride, in
order that future action upon their
part upon this question need not be
hampered by their pledges. One week
more will be allowed them to take the
people into their confidence upon the
question of accepting brides. Every
one who fails to so pledge himself con-
fesses by that failure that he will ac-
cept this and other forms of brides it
elected

WHEN THEY FEEL SAFE

From the very beginning the popu-
lists have, fought the republicans.
They fight them still. Why should
populists have any desire to assist re-
publicans? Can any man tell why?
The republican press has maligned
vilified and lied about populists from
the first and it is at 1T still. The AS
ISOLATED Press, which is republican out
and out, has used its immense power
to destroy populism. Republicans have
constantly called populists every vile
name to be. found in the language and

There are many things to be gained
by both old parties by giving the house
to the democrats. That will tend to
strengthen that party against the tre-
mendous assaults that Watson is MAX
ing against it, and will in a great
measure relieve the republicans from
responsibility for what may happen
during the next two years. No one
need to be surprised if the next house
is democratic. 1t certainly will be SO
if Wall street desires it.

that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging

were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the, medicine to en-
