Editor Independent:


that party to adhere to and stano by
those principles alone, to win success
No alliance with any other party or
parties who may agree with only
portion of our principles, will conduce
to the adoption of our principles IN
full. No party, political, ecclesiastical
or otherwise ever yet accomplished
reform within its own ranks, not even
excepting the present so called demo-
cratic party. Mr.. w. ]. Bryan or any
other person to the contrary not"lth-
standing.
All reforms are accomplished outside
OF the party needing reform Inc
PEOPLES Independent Party needs no
reform. That is why belong TO II.
MIR. Bryan has not as yet 5lodcheu
one single idea of reform but That ne
distracted from the principles OF the
PEOPLES Independent Party. Inc
truth is that with all his brilliant tai
ent as an orator he has not orlginailty
enough to create an issue that mas not
already existed, but he has remark
able talent to catch on to ideas iorln-
ulated and set afloat by 9th 5rs ana
claim them as the democratic thunder.
Also remarkable talent to strive 70
convert the Independent Party INTO
what he calls the Reformed Dernoc' acy.
Also a remarkable talent to support a
man for president whom he declared
was not fit or suitable person TO oc-
cupy the presidential chair.
A remarkable talent to preach prln-
ciple above all things, even above
party, and to support an individual
whom he declares does A2t sfand LOT
true democratic principT5F
Let every member the Peoples
Independent Party kno and nnder-
stand that the only me pa BY when
we can ever expect to fcompiish the
reforms which we aWocate is 10
stand for them alone. Our doors are
omen and all men who agree with us
are welcome to come Ia and help us,
but any one who ca¬ adont our
principles or stand GA our PLATFORM,
has the right to stanA anywhere else
he may choose. We % not want MIN.
IL any person is not willing TO stand
with us in defeat, lis not worthy
to stand with us in Dtory wnen VIC
tory comes. II any nan belleVes our
principles are right and has not the
courage or manhOOdst 70 stand on anu
for those principles, Through 5000 re-
port and through il}sreport, then That
man is not worthy n those principles.
It is high time that the Peoples
Independent Party iearned the futIity
and foolishneSs OF fsslectlng any per-
son as Standard cearer who for any
reason does not pr Will net Stanu
souarely on our plasform and is willing
to wear our partytname. Experience.

The ass is a greNarlous animal, they
love to herd togfther, but they are
always asses JUS the same. Demo
Gratis are always democrats, still from
Hill to Bryan, always democrats, and
OF the gregarions order. always he1dlns
together. Even Ehinals OF this order
sometimes disagrethapas ag themselves,
and there is a time of kicklls ard
much loud braying, but they ways
continue to herd together. Ltt us
come out from among them and be nc
more partakers of their assininity.
Our principles are right and Iii full
accord with the fundamental pI mel
ples of the founders of the government
AS such they must and will stand OF
fall, simply based on their truth anC
righteousness. When the citizens o.
Nebraska or any other state, are suffi
GENTLY weary of the domination O
corporate rule and corruption they
will turn to the only source whei eb,
relief can be afforded So long al
partyism holds the mask before tn,
eyes of the voters, and prejuaice OBJ
scures the reason it is vain to seek al
lance with any other party. Men ar
always prone to suffer long befor
they will climb out of the conlition
under which they suffer, but the tim
inevitably comes when through suffer
ing humanity rises to higher con
ceptions and aspirations, and throug
enlightened reason breaks the bond
that have held it back and create
new conditions more nearly in accor
with justice and equality. Until tn
people as body polite, are stuff
GENTLY satiated with suffering an
wrong doing will they ever turn tc
wards the sunlight of their own SOY
eTeIsnty, and deliver themselves
Our duty is simply to keep the ligt
or truth trimmed and burning, revea
