I'VE favor" but I'VE demand such
laws enacted that all may approach
the bar of justice and reasonably ex-
pect justice to be handed out.
And let the name 'populist" remain
on the banner; for there was mover a
name more appropriate, meaning the
common people," whose fight this
is. Let us throw as little mud as pos
sible, except as may be necessary to
cast light upon the subject and let us
show by our actions that we believe
in practicing what we preach.
am very much pleased with the
principles presented and adopted at
the Denver conference, especially that
relating to direct legislation.
| cannot but believe that one of the
great and fatal weaknesses of our So
cialist brothers is in their gradually
letting principles slip into the back
ground, giving us cause to think that
there must be enemies in their camp;
let us not make that mistake.
am very favorably impressed with
10 Parkers plan Of organizations; for
II we are going to fight, let us do it
Systematically and in a business-like
manner, SO that We may have funds to
carry on campaigns. Keep the mem
bers posted, have organizations to
send literature to. do not say that
this is the only plan that could be de-
vised, but very much approve Of the
principle.
1t Is nearly two years now since I
saw that the opportunity would soon
present itself for the battle-scarred
old comrades OF the couse to make
special effort to hold up the grand
light OF truth before benighted peo-
pie.
Let us clasp hands as a band Of
brothers and

Editor Independent: l would sug-
gest that you make two plank plat
form, namely: The referendum, and
the financial plank, elaborated SO as
to make it plain to the great common
people.
We need this in place of the present
barbarous system of gouge where the
dollar is placed above the head OF the
citizen.
The democratic party is likely to
break up and dissolve, and there would
likely be large portion of that party
come over and vote for those two
planks, as well as goodly number Of
the republicans who favor those meas
ures.

Editor Independent: The outlook
for populism is encouraging or dis
couraging according to the viewpoint
OF the individual If we allow our
selves to view the situation from the
standpoint of the so-called practical
politician, there is no future for the
movement. On the other hand, ii we
take our bearings from the ground Oc-
cupied by the great common people,
then the coming years are full OF
promise for the genuine populist and
of better things for all the people
The conditions that brought into cx-
istence the peoples party are more
intense than ever before. 1t would
seem clear, therefore, that the de-
mand for party Of the people-one
where all classes can find common
ground and work for humanity with
out qualifications, or should be,
correspondence greater.
Populism is living principle and
will endure-unless its votaries allow
themselves to be turned aside by the
sophistries of scheming politicians or
the heart-sickness resulting from a
failure to see results. 1t seems to me
that there is mere danger to the cause
OF the people because OF the lack OF
fruit as a result OF honest labor
than anything eEe.
Your populist must have something
to inspire hope He must also have
confidence in the leaders Of the move
ment. Blot out these two elements
and he becomes careless. He is pa
triot, lover of his kind, and he wants
to see results If he "cuts any ice"
politically he must have enthusiasm,
but he is not worshipper. He
cares nothing for the glamour of So
called high life except to despise it
and the effeminacy resulting from ii;
but he does believe in sturdy honesty
in both private and public life. He
believes that the man who robs COM
monwealth is greater criminal than
the. one who steals something to sus-
tain life.
Well, that kind of man is going
to the last ditch for the principles of
right and justice and there are still
lots of him in the United States, and
should the coming national cOnyen.
ton act wisely and periodically, he
will be heard from in large numbers
this year at the pOlls-otherWise he
must wait until the continued agrees
sion of predatory wealth. makes copdi-
lions longer unbearabie.
In a word, then, the future of pop
ulism, in my judgment, depends on the
action Of the Springfield convention
both as to men and measures-but
especially the latter. This being true
the answer to the second question is
obvious as rally without rallying
point is impossible.
AS to platform, let us have docu-
ment embOdying our real views
clean-cut, terse and to the point,
avoiding glittering generalities and
buncombe. Let it voice the sentiments
of true Americanism and contain the
elements of hope and encouragement
for those who tOil-the exploiters can
care for themselves. The Omaha plat
form with a strong declaration for d.
rect initiative of, and direct vote for
measures, together with an unequiyo-
cal demand for the ownership by the
people of all public utilities and nat
ural sources Of supply such as mines,
forests, ETC.. would be an ideal plat
form. F. G. JOHNSON.
