INV name to be enrolled in the Old
Guard Of Populism. | joined the peo-
pies party in the year 1892. was
the fourth name on the list that was
presented to the people OF Mason
county to secure the county conven-
ton. In that convention $50 men
enrolled and about that number OF
votes were cast.
The organization was lost through
the duplicity of the secretary and some
OF the members of the county COM
mittee. The records were destroyed
and could never be found. We reor-
gained two years later by help OF
Farmer Todd of Kansas and several
OF the old members.
In the year 1894 we had rs stralght
mid-road populists as the vote STOOD
on the county ticket. But in fusion
with the democrats the organization
is lost. Most of the populists divide
the vote, so there is a tie between
the two old parties.

Editor independent: That there
should be diversity Of plans is but
natural, for men are not CONSTITUTED
alike either mentally or physically;
but after an investigation OF the
thoughts and ideas of each other
rational solution may be found when
will meet the approval OF all inter
ested in the final result.
Changing of program IN, any move
ment, unless made necessary by
change in circumstances which
brought the movement into existence,
is considered evidence of weakness;
so that it would seem best to adhere
to first principles and to present
firm front to any opposition which
may present itself.
There are new questions being pre-
scented which may be considered in
the light of details and that can be
acted upon after what we believe more
important ones are disposed OF.
The three planks, finance, land and
transportation, with all that would
naturally come under the three heads,
makes platform broad enough or
any intelligent citizen to stand upon.
We would all agree that to succeed
there must be a persistent adherence
To first principles: II they were I'M
