DEMOCRATS ARE JOINING THE
POPULISTScA SUPPORT
ER-RoosEVELT WILL
CARRY MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS. July I've are sure
Of carrying the States of Alabama
and Georgia now" declared Joe Par.
ker, ex-chairman of the Popuiist ma
tional committee at the Jefferson no.
tel. Mr.. Parker has just reached ST.
Louis from the national convention OF
the Peoples party, which was held
at Springfield last week. Continuing
he said: mot only Will we carry those
two States, but we may carry Nebras-
ka. and if We do not get a big vote
in Missouri I will be greatly surprised.
"The Democrats could not have
gone back on their promises to the
people more completely than they did
in this convention. Wall street forced
the party into it's pocket. Democrats
have been teaching the principles they
have repudiated for eight years. They
have educated the farmers to the the
CRY of free silver until it is grated
into them good and strong. Now the
leaders turn about on their PROPOSE
ton and stand for what they have
been fighting. Do they think for "a
minute that these thousands of fol-
lowers OF Bryan are going to submit
tamely to such dictation? think not.
You can't change the principles in q
single day any more than you can
raise the sun at midnight.
Our candidate for President, Thorn
as Watson, will carry Alabama and
Georgia and, believe. Nebraska. We
Will cast between 100000 and 5000
votes at the coming election
How about Missouri was asked.
Missouri will give Watson at least
10000 votes, and, to my mind, Roose-
welt will stand an excellent show of
carrying the State.
"The Populists are in better shape
to-day than they have been for eight
years. We are beginning to find out
the insincerity of the Democrats. They
are beginning to come out in the
light of their true character. The
Populists have this year adopted
platform that will appeal to every
1aboring man in the United States.
We declare for all the cardinal prin-
ciples that the Democrats have con-
tended for these many years. We be-
lieve in organizing labor, and we are
pledged to support union principles.
We expect to secure great vote in
the Cities
To further show the extent of the
feeling, Mr.. Parker claims that Clar-
ence barrow, the Hearst man from
Chicago, who addressed the Demo
cratic national convention on Thurs
dy in the interest Of his candidate, has
openly announced that he cannot sup
port Parker and that he will vote for

of the late John P. Altgeld. Of Chi.
cago.
Mr.. Parker held several confer
ences with number of delegates from
Nebraska and other Western States.
and if they did not absolutely promise
to support the Populist candidate for
President they declared they would
never vote for Parker. All the Popu-
lists in the city, and there are several
who came along with Mr.. Parker, are
as well satisfied with the OUT
look for their candidate

No Democrat who is not utterly

to regain for the party the confidence

This article of culinary craftsmanship
rivals everything in the way of mys-
terry from boarding house hash to New
England mince pie. The external ap-
pearance of this remarkable production
would not excite undue attention or

that the expenses of the senate of the

sidered excessive

phia lawyer or ingenious New England
Yankee would be able to account for.
However, the astute and dignifed and
venerable and Woodworking senator
would probably be able to convince the
most inquisitive constituent, who
would be daring enough to poke his

paw over all that semiconscious nation,
a nation worse than helpless, on the
mainland that means to Japan life, fu-

AS matter of necessity, Japan has
set up Monroe doctrine of her own in
Asia. The little empire is not large
enough for the awakened activities of
its people, and there must be room for
commercial expansion. Long before
Japan was awakened by Commodore
Perry and his followers, Yernak had
crossed the Ural mountains and the
Russian Bear began his migration east

had reached the Pacific and found-a
