Monday contained the following inter-
view:
Populists of the United States are in
line for President Roosevelt on the
program he has laid down, according
to the declaration of Thomas H. lib
bles of Lincoln, recent candidate for
vice president on the third party ticket.
The statement was made unreserved-
1y yesterday to reporter for the Nom
pareil, and Mr.. Tibbles asserted fur
Their that every populist in the country
would help to hold up the presidents
hands in his effort to secure remedial
legislation along interstate commerce
and other lines.
Roosevelt is right and I am for
him." said Mr.. Tibbles in an emphatic
manner. Il endorse his position on
the revision of the tariff, but most of
xzz.I en- ready to back him up in the
demand that the isxsu zssata commerce
commission be given authof1ty ta<Hx
railroad rates. Though do OF think
anything short of government owner
ship will settle the question, President
Roosevelt's plan is long step forward.
and it will meet the appreciation Of
,pulists everywhere"

thousand readers, and he is tellins

per that Reesevelt's policies are what
the country needs. Mr.. Tibbles came
to Council Bluffs yesterday to visit his
daughter, Mrs. J. A. Barris, who re-
sides at 627 First avenue.
The whole country is adopting pop
ulist ideas, said Mr.. Tibbles. 4 be-
lieve if the question of government
ownership were put to vote Of the
people now it would carry. OF course,
i don't believe the voters would favor
taking over all the roads at once, and
no populist wants that, but on propo-
sition to acquire one transcontinental
line, say from New York to San Fran
cisco, think there would be no doubt
as to its acceptance. The people are
tired of railroad domination, rebates
and excessive rates.
New political Arguments are in
store, and / believe the next great re-
form movement is going to come from
the. rank and file of the republican
psAI s. neoassitY and the reason
for this Is In the evils u tt1 nay wAiah
are coming to be recognized. Here III
Iowa the party has maintained its as
cendancy, while other states have gone
off to populism at times. Why is this?
Simply because the republican leaders
of Iowa had sense enough to hold the
railroads in restraint. They adopted
the ideas Of the grange and alliance
and made them rep blican policy.
1t is certainly gratifying to us
long-haired, vild-eyed anarchists to
see populism roosting in the white
house. The fact is, this government
must come to populism, and we are on
the road there already. The govern

what the populists want to find out
is whether Roosevelt has a big stick

that it is stick and that he means to
apply it to the railroads, they will say

as much vehemence as it ever support

And longs for him to be there.

On a bed of sickness and pain,

But know we shall meet again."
