must look to make our movement

in this we must not arrogate to our

Editor Independent: The outlook
for populism is better now than TOT
eight years past. The shattered RANKS
are gradually reforming.
The prospects of making the peo-
pies party great factor in politics
are favorable. All depends upon what
is done at Springfield at the people
party convention, and at st, Louis at
the democratic convention.
The nomination of reorganizer by
the democrats will open the tleld for
our movement. If the Bryan-Hearst
element predominant, which does not
now seem possible, or If they force
a reasonable compromise, Whlch Is
now our chief danger, we can nope
for but little progress.
Our platform should be practically
a reaffirmation OF the Omaha platform,
laying special stress on public owner
ship and the initiative and referen-
dunn. We should align the party UNI
equivocally with organized labor, and
denounce the criminal and revolution
airy conditions in Colorado. Organ
lied labor and the peoples party must
ally and will stand together or tall
together.
am in favor of nominating our
ticket in Springfield, with the idea IN
view that If conditions cause the
Hearst Bryan element to leave the
democratic party, and they are will
ing to accept our platform, that we
make not only close alliance with
them. but join them In complete ANAL
gamation to the end that the truly
Jeffersonian democracy, now known
as the peoples party, may become a
power with prospects Of immediate
victory
Such a condition is not expected,
but it may arise While the tendency
of our movement is against any such
alliance, sober second thought must
demonstrate that If this occasion does
arise, and these people are ready tn
join with us on the principles of the
q Omaha platform, and free from the
incubus of their corrupt machine rul-

The star of the aggregation was
Arthur Iundt, the violinist, and
his rendition of a selection from

superb coloring and tone. Mr..

son in recitations, Adair Hickman,
tenor soloist, Miss Margaret Veitch,
soprano soloiSt, and Mrs. Beatrice
Yundt, who assisted Mr.. Yundt in

The company is made up of anna
tcGrS and Semi-profeSSiOnalS, and
this was its first appearance in
