The figure of James Wolfe, the young
English general who lost his life in
his attack on Quebec, is one of the
most interesting in American annals.
In history he will go down as "the
man who changed the destiny of North
America" His capture of Quebec. the

NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
Western Farmers Are Taking Steps
to Organize One.

Western Farmers Are Taking Steps
to Organize One.
The organization Of new political
party throughout the south and west
is predicted by some of the active lead
ers of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, which boasts
100000 members in the United States
at the present time, and 100000 in
Oklahoma alone. 1t is expected to in
terest the labor unions in the pro-
posed new party.
The initiative STEPS in the organiz-
ing of the new party are now being
taken. Consideration and discussion
by the bfainiest leaders III this move
ment are being had at the gatherings
of farmer union members aad their
friends at picnics throughout Oklaho-
ma, in particular. Politics in all its
phases is being discussed, especially
the issues of the two old political par
ties being outlined and criticised.
The old-time Changers and Populists
are among the leaders in all these
farmer movements, so far as the west
is concerned, and many of the most
prominent Populist leaders of 10 or IL
years ago may now be found organ
izing and advocating the union of che
farmers.
