for the populists to fail in putting up a
solid populist party on the 4th of
July, 1904, they will be as guilty OF a
great political crime as that of which
they charge the republican party.
/ am greatly pleased with the out
look for populism, and in answer to
your second question, What is the
prospect for maintaining the peoples
party as really vital political organ
ization?' it appears equally cheerful

Our people will come to the front
with their influence and money when
they see that a straight, clear, clean
cut populist party, free from all and
every influence of either of the two
old rotten parties, is fully organized
Our people have put up their last dol

To sum up the whole matter, the
outlook for populism was never bet
ter, and the opportunity for building
an organization of really vital pow
err" of self-preservation, is now with
in reach-even knocking at our door.
May the Lord pity us for past blum
ders, and after years of affection bring
rs all through the valley OF expert
ence up to the heights of duty, that
once more united we may profit by the
past and lay our foundation on the
rock of human rights and raise tenn

homeless, destitute and perishing, that

No. This is not the program; we
desire to eliminate the spoils system
OF politics and continue the battle un-
der the banner Of money, land and

general utilities is one that takes the
bait off of thousands of hooks at which
self-seeking voters are nibbling.

after reaffirming the Omaha platform,
would suggest: An immediate with

that is the Cincinnati party plan of

Editor Independent: The political
situation in Colorado this year is
somewhat chaotic. Much will depend
upon the course taken by the peoples
party and democratic national con-
yentions next raonth, and by the re-
publican and democratic state con-
ventions, the calls for which have not
yet been issued. There are strong ele-
ments in all parties in this state who
are dead set against the denomination
OF Governor Peabody or any one who
would be likely to continue his auto
cratic, monopolistic, illegal and des-
potic corporation policy. They are OF
one mind in respect to the removal OF
the Peabody blight in this state and a
return to a reasonable and just and i'm
partial course of government.
The Independents articles on the
situation in this state have been
f0rceful and truthful and are Endorsed
by the common people wherever read.
Colorado czarism must go and be
buried so deep that it will never be
resurrected.
AS to the course the peoples party
VIII pursue in this state, am at a
loss just now to prognosticate. There
seems to be an inclination toward CO.
operation with the democrats and
other anti-republican elements to
down that party in this state. and, if
the Peabody admirers control the re-
publican convention. believe it's
downfall will be accomplished. judge
Frank w. Overs will be the people's
party candidate for governor and if
the democrats are wise they will in
dorse his candidacy. The union labor
element, which largely predominates
all parties, is somewhat socialistic
and the socialists will probably have a
ticket in the field, which will be a
source OF weakness in dividing the
forces; but, il COM
mon sense prevails, the republicans
will be defeated in Colorado this fan
This state will probably have a
strong delegation at Springfield and 7
hope to see wise course pursued there
whlch will awaken the seemingly
dormant reform elements and create
an enthusiasm for the peoples party
which will sweep both old
parties out OF existence and put into
power a set of officials who will leg
islate and execute in the interests of
the moneyless masses as against the
moneyed classes.
Yours IN the hope of success of our

Editor Independent: | am in re-
ceipt of your favor of the 18th inst.
and Il will say, very shortly and as
concisely as possible, that | believe
the coming national convention is to
be the most important the party has
ever held, taking this view of it on
the predication that what may be
termed the radical element of the
democratic party is going to be forced
to leave their convention and party
and that in such instance, If they will
subscribe to our political reform de-
mands, our party will have the OBJ
portunity afforded of inviting their
cO-OperatiOn-and with all the money
OF the country and the great indus
trial institutions 1t controls united in
support of the interests of the own
ers OF capital, am in favor of the
union of the forces of those who do
not own great amounts of capital.
There must be lining-up Of all the
reform forces on one side and all OBJ
posed to reforms on the other, before
there can be decisive battle.
| want to see the platform include a
demand for the initiative and referen-
dunn, the government issue of all
forms OF money, and that it be forced
into the channels of trade through the
medium OF public works expenditures:
government ownership and operation
OF all railways, telegraph and tele-
phone lines; the popular election of
all judicial, administrative, represen-
tative and executive offices, whether
national, state or municipal; prohib-
iting second-term candidacy for the
presidency. And in addition to these
want to see an exclusion act de-
manded that will apply to Chinese and
Japanese whether coming from their
home countries or from the dependen-
cies OF this country; and the platform
or preamble should pay full attention
TO the outrages by the military and
the republican party that have been
committed against the citizens of Colo
RADIO who belong to labor unions and
oppose government by injunction.
Much might DO written on all these
subjects. aud there are some other
issues of lesser importance that might
be mentioned but as this Is To he

that all the representative populista
OF the country will be at Springfield.

convention first, because ! saw the

found learning and craftsmanship
able editors, writer's, and orators, that
challenged the admiration OF the lite
rary world, and from every viewpoint
of American political history | be-
lieved In my Utmost soul that in 1904,
II we could harmonic our differences
and unite our forces, that the grand
est and most patriotic political party
would spring into being. A party with
the spirit of Jefferson and Lincoln
would come again, opening up the av-
enues Of escape from organized greed
for the oppressed of earth; and, be-
lieving thus, have | labored.
What is the outlook for pOpulism?
Comrades, the outlook is the grandest
1t has been since we first heard pop
ulist gospel proclaimed. Why, let me
tell you first: the masses understand
the populist doctrine better now than
ever before, and the public press is
treating populism with favor never
known before. And to this fact it is
only necessary to call your attention
to the further truth that populism has
gone into all political parties, some
more, some less. Listen, Old Guards,
and you will hear clear cut notes from
Omaha sounding from their platforms
and press.
Populism has gone SO far that the
enemy can't keep 1t from the common
people. Again the political corrup-
ton has caused the masses to look
beyond the democratic and the repub-
lican party for relief. Any man you
meet with tells you he knows both
old parties are corrupt. The truth is
both parties are SO corrupt that no
man will try to defend them.
In the next place, there is no re-
form party that has a solution for the
oppression Of the people, but the pop
ulist party.
Let us see: Socialist, what do you
say: Things must grow worse until
the people get sense enough to own
all the means of production and dis
tribution." Prohibitionist, what do
you says: stop making liquor" You
must see that the people will go to
the populist party as the one holding.
the correct doctrine.
Again, there is a great political rev.
olution just ahead and every sign
points to new alignment, a complete
reorganization of political power: and
this fact makes the outlook for pop
ulism magnificent. Let me say in
passing from the first question, that
