candidates in opposition t. both the
Republican and Democratic nomi-

The purpose Of the new political
organization. it is said, will be to
combat the tendency toward the cen

government and to preserve the indi
vidual powers Ct the States.
1t was intinlatcd by sevcEa! Of

subject that the movement WAS orig

the purpose of fighting prohibition.
This suggestion was denied By those
who acted as tn new party's agents.
