THE EASTERN POPULIsTs

BOtaniStS know that there are some
plants and shrubs that If removed
from their native habitat, in spite OF
all the care that can be bestowed upon
them wither and die, or at best never
will succeed as we'll as at the place
where they were found, while there are
others that will flourish and greatly
improve by being removed to other re-
gions, although they may be hardy and
vigorous where nature first planted
them, OF. plants Of the latter kind,
populism seems to be the most eminent
specimen. It's native habitat was the
west and the south, but transplanted
to the eastern states, it grows with
more yigor than it ever did where first
discovered. New York seems to be
all afire with populist enthusiasm.
Read the following letter and good
idea can be formed of how populism
is spreading in New York and other
eastern states:
Albany County Democracy, Albany,
N. Y, Sept. 2.-My Dear Tibbles: /
enclose copy of Watson's speech at
Cooper Union. We are putting out
80 900 of same all over the state and
also stickers as enclosed. We have
got them on the run and we are going
to keep them going, the ticket is TAX
ing like wild fire all over the state.
Shea of Syracuse is with us, had
long talk with him last week and
his coat will be off after the state con-
yention.
Our state ticket is complete and it
is a vote-getter from top to bottom,
the petitions start out through the
counties tomorrow morning, and we
expect to have them finished in two
or three weeks.
We are having calls from all over
the United States for that Albany adj
dress. some want 500, others 1000 and
one state asks the cost Of $4,000, we
are sending them all we can.
JAY w. FORREST.
At the bottom of the sheet on which
this letter is written is printed the
words. "Vote under the Liberty Bell. .
which is the populist emblem on the
ballot in New York Other letters
have been received at this Office with
the same words at the bottom, in fact

MINING MEN LIKE PARKER
laborers In Montana, Nevada and
Colorado Will Vote Democratic.

NEW YORK. oct. lit was an
nounced tonight by Ex-Governor A. E.
ternoon in conference with Chairman
Taggart at national Headquarters that
democratic victory in Montana is as
sured by the Endorsement of the dem
ocratic ticket by the labor party of
that state. and that this endorsement
ought to insure both Nevada and Col
orado to the ticket.
The labor convention decided to
indorSe our ticket instead of putting
out a ticket of their own" added ex-
Gov. Sprigg. THAT means that we will
poll tWo-thirds of the vote Of the
state. The labor party polls a third of
our state vote or $4,000. 1t is almost
the same in Colorado and Nevada"
Gov. Spriggs received a telegram
from State Chairman Frank including
a letter written by r. D. Miles. chair
man of the state central committee of
the labor party. Chairman Miles wrote
in part:
AS to President Roosevelt. we We're
far from being satisfied with the gen
eral trend of his policy toward mill
tarism. his numerous official actions
relating to labor that show anything
but a friendly disposition toward our
members.
so far as Judge Parker is concerned
after thoroughly investigating the
various decisions he had rendered af-
fecting labor while he was member
of the New York court Of appeals. this
committee found that he had at all
times placed a liberal construction
upon the law and that contrary to
many of the courts of the land he had
upheld the constitutional rights of the
citizen to quit work when he desired.
We found further that Judge Parker.
although in the minority. had upheld
in the court of appeals the constltu-
tionality of the eight hour law gov
erning municipal work.

PENDLETON. oct. Special -
movement is now on loot among
Pendleton merchants and business men
looking to more satisfactory train
schedules on both the W. & c. r. and
the mixed q. r. & \. trains.
The people of Helix. Athena. Weston.
Adams and other nearby points desire
to come To Pendleton to do their trad
ing. but the unsatisfactory schedule of
the local trains forbid them to come
here, transact their business and return
home on the same day
1t is very expensive for them to re-
main over night and spend two days
on the trip and in order to invite them
to come here and make this their regu-
lar trading point. a movement for bet
ter train accommodations will be at
once inaugurated.
A canvass of the business men is
soon to be made and a mass meeting of
citizens called to take decisive steps
to improve this condition.
AS the present condition continues
the people will become more fixed in
their habit of trading at Walla Walla.
ana if the inducements to come to Pen
dleton are not made superior to those
of Walla Walla a large trade logically
belonging to this city Will he perma-
nently diverted to the Washington city.
A decisive move is to be made to Sc
cure a regular passenger train from
Walla Walla to Pendleton. coming over
in he morning to connect with No. |
for Portland at Il. m. and returning
after making connection with No.

ter being up "a hours that class is vic
tor in the contest for the year
The scrap was put to an end this
morning by Professor Lyman. acting
president of the college. who told the
sophomores not to enter the building.
He Informed them that if anything was
destroyed he would summon the civil
authorities and have the offenders nut
IN charge of the law. When this was
made known TO the sophomores they
asked that the freshmen be compelle]
TO take down their flag from the build
ing. This being refused they deter
mined to let the flag fly. trusting to
deVising some other means of estab-
fishing their class supremacy.
The freshmen have been defending
the flag all day. During the noon
hour they stood on the roof and sung
songs and flung challenges to passing
sophs. The president of the class said
to a Statesman reporter this after
noon: The claim of the sophs to fac
ulty interference is all bosh. Why did
they let the sophs in the building for
II hours? We have kept our flag flying
for IS hours and We are going to stav
here the balance of the time
