OLD POPULIST PRINCIPLES NOW
WORKING OUT IN LOS
ANGELES.

Dear Strive have recently had
two city elections in Los Angeles
the hottest and most important of
any ever held in this city. First we
had the direct primaries, direct
nominations by the people, which
gave any candidate the right to have
his name placed on the ballot; pro-
vided he obtained a hundred or more
names on petition for nomination.
Candidates names were printed on
the ballot alphabetically, without any
party name. After the primaries, all
candidates were dropped except the
two highest for each Office. For the
regular election, names were printed
on ballots in same manner as the
primaries. The people won by a
large majority, -electing the mayor,
councilmen, and other officials, who
were in favor of direct primaries, the
initiative and referendum and the re-
call. 1t was fight between the peo-
pie and the corrupt politicians and
corporations. After the election, /
attended banquet of the victorious.
About $50 people were present, and
speeches were made by Francis J.
Heney, of San Francisco, our mayor,
new councilmen and others,-all lay
ing great stress on the primary law
and the initiative and referendum
and the recall.
AS I sat there and listened to
those big fellows talk, I thought to

is the day of short weights and short
measures, and I will say short men;
it is the day of the politician and
demagogue. What will be the out
come of the fight now on between
Pinchot-Glavis on the side of the
people and allinger-monkeyings
thieves and the Taft gang in general
against the people? Of course, the
money kings will win Will the Su-
gar Trust coat over their theft, and
go free? [ believe such will be the
fms. If it were boy in his tender
years, say thirteen, caught stealing a
bicycle frame, and judge like one
in Atlanta, the kid would go up for
eight years and come out confirmed
criminal. The Georgia reform school
is about as fit for child as hell is
for saint. There are some asses
who would like to Guido Ben Lind
sey. Shame we have no Lindseys in
Georgia. There is an opportunity
for a man of brains to imm ortalize
himself by changing the method of
the old gang and save the youths,
making respectable citizens instead
of criminals of them. The people are
coming to their senses and you will
be recognized and in the lead in less
than five years, though the prejudic-
ed and ignorant and the old pap
suckers will fight nightly to hold
you down. 'FTruth crushed to earth
will rise again, the eternal years of

myself, do you know where the di-
rect nomination, the initiative and
referendum and recall came from?
Where did you find it," And the
answer is, Through the old Popu-
list Party"
The people are marching on to vic
tory: these principles are spreading,
and must and will be adopted and
enacted into law to redeem this coun-
try. The thousands who are leaving
the old parties, and becoming indie
pendent, are the only hope we have
to save this nation from going into
''the grave of all the great nations Of
the past
But we should never forget that
the money power is the biggest and
worst monopoly in this country -
the worst that the world has ever
seen. 1t is sapping the life-blood out
of this republic. The. Government
should issue all money, gold, silver
and greenbacks, all to be full legal
tender, and enough of it to do and
carry on the business of all the peo-
pie.
Very truly yours,

THE RIGHT SORT OF DEMOCRAT.

I am now seventy seven and a
half years old; am writing this with
out glasses. I am a Democrat, and,
like one of your correspondents, I
had to leave the old party in order
to retain my Democracy. 1t is
part, and big part, of my religion.
I, Of course, can't expect to live long
enough to see our country governed
by honest men, neither do I think it
will ever be, again. All I want now
is the Bible and Tom Watson's writ
ings. The Bible tells us what is
right, and you tell us how to do it.
So the two are about all the litera-
ture want. I am going to stir up
the boys here, and see if we can't
get them organized and go to work,
and try once more to teach the peo-
pie a little sense.
Yours truly,
OLD POPULIST.

TEXAS HAS MANY OLD POPS YET

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I have been
thinking of writing to you for some
time. I read both of the Jeffs, and
am greatly interested in your writ
ings. You are no straddler. You
are just the kind of man / admire.
| have voted for you every time you
were on our National ticket and l
am not ashamed of it, but am proud
to know | voted for a man who has
stood by the common people and is
fighting for the poor down-trodden,
burden-bearing farmers. I will vote
for you again If I get the chance. I
would make you President if I had it
in my power Your writings are
having effect already. I was out in
Texas the first of the year, and every
place I found your paper and Maya
zine I found strong Watson men. I
believe if we could get the people to
read your Jeffs we would have a
great revival of the Populist party.

WANTS STANDARD OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES RAISED.

Dear Sir:-T am unable to see why
the grand old State of Georgia has
no place in her political arena for
you. Her Senators are mummies in
our National halls of Congress, and
as for the Representatives I think
she is lower down in mental repre-
sentation than she has ever been in
her history, and does not excel any
State in any respect whatever.
Shades of Stephens, Toombs, Hill and
FELTON,, never did you gentlemen of
the old regime think that your dis
tricts would be so poorly represent
ed. Why can we not have the stan
dard set by these old giants upheld
by men who would approach them,
or equal them, in such men as Tom
Watson and Seaborn Wright? This

FROM A YANKEE POPULIST.

Dear Sir:-In regard to Brother
Arnold's request, 1 will say that I
am ONE of the Old Guard from
away back in Peter Cooper and
Brick Pomeroy times, and have
never "wobbled" on the spindle from
the demand made at that time by
the Greenback clubs, which could be
found in nearly every State in the
Union, viz: Immediate calling in
and payment of every United States
bond with full legal tender green
backs" There is no mark of fusion
on me, and have never voted a
Democrat ticket since 1854, and
Republican ticket, NEVER. There
is where [ am at" Am trying my
best to get some Old Guard assist
ance to put the old demand back to
where it was when the Toledo con-
vention knocked it out through the
tools of the money power. am try
ing to find one hundred of the Old
Guard that will unite to form an or
ganization, as preliminary organi-
cation in every State in the Union.
When the Old Guard, away back in
the '7O's, had the ONE main ISSUE
the payment Of Government bonds
with greenbacks, the people were
focking to that platform in great
numbers. Are there not one hun
dred of that Old Guard, who read
this, that will once more enlist and
raise the cry once more that Con
gross shall create and issue all the
money to the people without the aid
of banks. UNITE on this ONE
point, and show the people WHY
Congress should furnish the money
instead of the banks. Do this, and
guard against pretenders, and we
will soon have a following that will
put the money power on the defen-
sive. The system has many defend
ers, but no Defense.
Now I would like to know, not so
much what you ARE doing, as what
you are willing to do. 1t seems to
me that it is time something was
done. Some time it may be TOO
LATE.

Our Share.

Some of us may be glad to be told
that there are only ten life mistakes,
for (here seem TO be so many more,
but recent writer has catalogued
them. Perhaps these are only the ten
leading ones from which the smaller
errors arise. Let's look over the list
and see how many of them are ours
First, to set up our own standard of

cordingly second, to measure the en-

to expect uniformity of opinion in this

and experience in youth; fifth, to en-
deavor to mold all dispositions alike;
sixth, to look for perfection In our
own actions; seventh, to worry cur
selves and others with what cannot
be remedied eighth, to refuse to yield

ton; tenth, to refuse to make allow

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

"The quarrel, l believe he per-
sisted, was about Mr. Armstrong;
conduct to you, Miss Gertrude. He
had been paying you unwelcome at
tentions."
And l had never seen the man!
When she nodded a yes" l saw the
tremendous possibilities involved. If
this detective could prove that Ger
trude feared and disliked the mur-
dered man, and that Mr.. Armstrong
had been annoying and possibly pur-
suing her with hateful attentions, all
that, added to Gertrude's confession
of her presence in the billiard room
at the time of the crime, looked
strange, TO say the least. The promi-
nence of the family assured a strenu-
GUS effort to find the murderer, and if
we had nothing worse to look forward
TO- we were sure of a distasteful pub
licity.
Mr. Jameson shut his note book
with snap and thanked us.
Il have an idea" he said, apropos
of nothing at all, that at any rate the
pings have been-and the colored man
says they began when the family went
west three months ago-they are like
iy to stop now"
Which shows how much he knew
about it. The ghost was not laid; /;
with the murder of Arnold Armstrong
he, or it, only seemed to take on fresh
vigor.
Mr.. Jameson left then, and when
Gertrude had gone upstairs, as she did
at once, l sat and thought over what
/ had just heard. Her engagement,
once so engrossing a matter, paled
now beside the significance of her
story. If Halsey and Jack Bailey had
left before the crime. how came Hal
sey's revolver in the tulip bed? What
was the mysterious cause of their sud
den flight? What had Gertrude left
in the billiard room? What was the
significance of the cuff-link and where
was it?

and | did not remember the door. My
heart was humping wildly in my ears,
but l nodded to him to go ahead. I
was perhaps eight or ten feet away
and then he threw the bolt back
Come out" he said quietly. There
was no response. "Come-out," he
repeated. Then-I think he had a re-
volver, but l am not sure-he stepped
aside and threw the door open.
From where | stood l could not see
beyond the door, but l saw Mr.. jamie
sons face change and heard him NUT
ter something, then he bolted down
the stairs, three at time. When my
knees had stopped shaking, I moved
forward, slowly, neryously, until had
a partial view of what was beyond the
door. 1t seemed at first to be clos
ct, empty. Then I went close and ex-
amined it, to stop with a shudder.
Where the floor should have been was
black void and darkness, from which
came the indescribable damp smell
of the cellars.
Mr. Jameson had locked somebody
in the clothes chute. AS l leaned over
fancied l heard a groan-or was 1t
