MARION BUTLER TALKS.
Thinks Populists May Not Put
Ticket in the Field.
(Rv Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23-Ex-
Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro-
lima. chairman of the Populist National
Committee. said to-day that there would
be a meeting of the committee called
soon, to be held some time In February.
Ha was rather Of the opinion that the
Populist National Convention should not
be he'd until the great parties had met
and nominated. He thought 1t might be
we'll for the convention to be held at st.
Louis Immediately after the Democratic
convention. or possibly at the same time.
If either party puts up candidate that
is satisfactory to the Populists he will
be endorsed by them, and they will not
place ticket IN the field.
When asked II the party amounted to
much these days. Mr.. Butler replied that
he thought that q party which cast lS,G0
votes in the State Of Indiana and $500
IN Illinois. amounted 10 something, as
neither the Democratic nor the Repuh.-
can parties could hope to carry either
State by SO large, a majority.
II IS said that the Populists arc very
tavorably Impressed with the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. especially
the attitude he has made some Of the
public believe he holds towards the trusts.
