If we cannot trust the representatives chosen by the people to make laws for the tsiople, why ahould populists be obliged to depend upon del c gales chosen by caucuses to determine candidates and policy for the party. The liidcHiidcnt ha been doing good sit vice in collecting and publishing opin ions as to party policy, but if auch mien- tiona could be determined by a vote of all the members of the party, there would be no chance to claim that our leadera misrepresented tha party. It would be comparatively easy todisMnse with nominating convention entirely, ami let all candidatea be nominated and platlorm adopted by a vote of all ineinlM.r of the party who cIiomo to take the trouble to exercise the privilege.
