time, but drove up shortly afterwards.
He said he heard a noise which re-

violent than at the first meeting were
made. Efforts were put forth to in

BARRETT DENIES REPORT,
Farmers Union Not Contemplating
Organization of New Party.

Atlanta, Ca, March 28.-President
Charles S. Barrett, of the National
Farmers Union, made emphatic de-
nial tonight of the newspaper reports
that at the National Conference of
Farmers to be held in st. Louis, May
2-S. the Farmers Union would join
with the American Federation of La
bor in the formation Of a new nation
al political party.
In an article published in numerous
papers under a Washington date 1t
was announced that President Samuel
Gompers, Of the Federation, would
deliver an address at the Conference
of the Farmers Union in st. Louis, at
which he would outline his plan for
the alliance of the two organizations
in forming and furthering the pro-
posed new party.
Whatever is done in st. Louis to-
ward forming a new party" said Mr..
Barrett, "the Farmers Union will
have no part, parcel or direct or In.
direct connection with it. The funda-
mental law of the Farmers Union
explicitly prohibits that Order indul-
ging in partisan politics.
Men of all shades of political be-
lief, some of the most distinguished
Americans, will participate in and be
the guests of the Farmers Union
Conference. But 1 cannot reiterate
too emphatically that we will not be
party to the formation of a new par
ty, and that partisan politics will be
eschewed scrupulously."
President Barrett said that at the
st. Louis Conference the needs of
the farmers, the status Of the farmer
and the wrongs of thu farmer" would
be discussed, "but will not de-
nounce or praise any political party.
Nor will we countenance any such
procedure on the part of the invited
guests if we can help it,"

Pardon my curiosity" said the
ticket seller, "but how did you get
that money? It isn't a loan for see
you have disposed of the So bill"
That's all right" said the man.
mo 1 didn't borrow, I went to a
