Campaign Notes.
Richard Wolfe OF Denver will estab-
1ish populist paper in that city.
There are many reasons for believing
that Colorado will go populist this
time. The people out there have had
enough of republican military despot-
ism and democratic anarchy.
DIR. F. B. Lawrence of Eldorado,
Kas., made motion at the Spring
field convention to adjourn until after
the democratic convention. He now
says that convention was wiser than
he was. Since he got back to Kan
sas things seem to have broken lose,
very much after the fashion of old al
lance days, and DIR. Lawrence will
likely be the populist candidate for
congress in the 4th congressional dis
trict.
DR.. G. F. Taylor is editor of the
Medical World OF Philadelphia. He
runs an economic and sociologic adj
dendum to his medical journal which
has been along strictly scientific
lines, but he now says: While l
have heretofore avoided partisan lines
in my Talks as far as possible, fear
/ will now be duly branded and la
belled populist by the medical pro-
fession.. OF course / don't care ex-
cept as it may affect the efficiency of
my work among the doctors" DR..
Taylor also runs the Equity Series. /"
No public speaker on the reform side
caA afford to be without those scholar
~ documents. They contain popullsm
as written up by some Of the greatest
professors and scientists of this age.
After printing the platforms OF the
two old parties, Dr. Taylor gives his
view of them as follows: 1T may be
asked, where do the people come in,
as all the counting and trimming is
toward the financial and corporation
powers. The old trick of these powers
is to make the platform and ticket OF
both the dominant parties safe and
sane and then they are sure Of pro-
lection. They contribute freely to both
parties both before the conventions
and during the campaign, to keep
them both in good humor, and they
are Indifferent to which ticket is
elected In 1896 and 1900 the demo
cratic party got away from them, and
money was poured out for it's defeat
and it is supposed that much money
has been spent since. 1896 to recap.
ture 1t, which has finally been sue
cessful AS it is good policy for the
parties to alternate occasionally as
long as they are good, it is probable
that these powers will rather favor
the election of the democratic party
this time, because it is it's turn ani
also as a reward for returning tt
safety and sanity But the question
still is, where do the people come in.
POpulism is breaking out in new
spots all the time. Not only has it &
