...The Old Guard of Populism...
REPORT OF PROGRESS.
In the first lot of folders, suggest
ing the enrollment of the Old Guard
of Populism, I said: The time is
too short now. to perfect this organi
zation so that a national convention
. , 1 fil.lt I . - it M t .
ran ie msnensea wun in i ue-
lieved I knew how much work it
would take, and how much time would
necessarily be consumed in merely as
certaining the names ,of those "who
were populists a few years ago; and
then the further task of finding out if
these former populists now "locked
out" of their party in most states
are still willing to Stand up and ;pe
counted for populism," I felt sure could
not be done with a mere wave of the.
hand. ,
batted this view with much vigor
and one or two, I regret to say, be
lieved me to be hostile to .the idea of
making nominations direct by tne
people,-instead of delegate conven
tions. I am still of the opinion that
the necessary preliminary work re
quired to successfully carry out - the
Cincinnati plan of making direct nom
inations, is ample to keep a large
i'orce of clerks at work for a full year
at least. But the suggestion has been
irlade and there Is much force in it
that we can reach just as many pop
ulists with a ballot on which to vote
for presidential and vice presidential
candidates, as we can reach with the
Information that precinct primaries
should be held to elect delegates to a
county convention, to elect delegates
to a state convention; to elect dele
gates to a national convention. And
,it is further true that there are hun
dreds and thousands of populists, liv
ing in localities where there are only
one or two of the faith, who, under
the convention system, would have no
voice whatever in choosing candi
dates; but who, under direct nomina
tions, would have a voice in naming
the national standard-bearers.
The work of enrolling the Old Guard
of Populism has been going steadily
oh for six weeks. It presents many
encouraging features and some that
are somewhat discouraging. For the
benefit of gentlemen who seem to
think that an organization can be
effected by some sleight of . hand, let
me go over some of the work done
and the results obtained.
Inasmuch as many populists have
had no opportunity for several years
to vote a populist ticket, some have
not voted at all, but a great majority
of them have temporarily afliliated
with other political organizations.
Some have permanently affiliated
themselves with other parties. Hence,
the task is not a light one to ascer
tain the names of those who still re
main true to the principles of the
Omaha platform. In what I call the
"regular enrollment," I have included
none but the names of those who
have asked to be enrolled or author
ized some other "Old Guard" to send
in their names. What is termed the
'"special enrollment" consists ot names
sent in by members of the Old Guard
of Populism, vouched for as time
tested, true blue, "heart of oak" pop
ulistsbut who have not yet respond
ed to the invitation sent them to en
roll. Six weeks' experience .with the
original 960 invitations sent out, shows
that 30 out of each hundred make some

sort of reply; 27 enroll as members
of the Old Guard of Populism; and 21
contribute something toward extend
ing the work an average of 45 cents
so far. -
Including January 8, I had sent out
2,342 additional invitations; and these,
up to January 16, had brought only
227 regular enrollments and $37.43 in
contributions or less than half
epaugh to, pay postage and printing
bills. In the course of time, of course,
the returns will be greater but the
later experience is a bit discouraging.

For. the Children.
To Keep Their Digestion Perfect
Nothing is so Safe and Pleasant as
. v Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Thousands o? men and women Lave
found Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the",
safest and most reliable preparation
for any form, of indigestion or stom
ach trouble.
Thousands of people who are not
sick, but are well and wish to keep
well take Stuart's Tablets after every
meal to insure perfect digestion and
avoid trouble. .
But it is not generally known that
the Tablets are just as good and
wholesome for little folks as fcr their
elders. .
Little children who are pale, thin
and 'have no appetite, or do not grow
or thrive, should use the tablets afier
eating and will derive great benefit
from them.
Mrs. G. II. Crotsley, 538 Wasning-
ton St., Hoboken, New Jersey, writes:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets just (ill
the bill for children as well as lor
older folks. I've had the be&t cl luck
with them. My three-year -old girl
takes them as readily as candy. I
have only to say 'tablets' and she
drops everything else and runs for
them."
A Buffalo mother, a short time ago,
who despaired of the life of her babe
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tatleta that
she went before the notary pub'ic of
Erie Co., N. Y., and made the follow
ng affidavit:
Gentlemen Stuart's Dyspoppia Tab
lets were recommended to me for my
two-months-old baby, which was suk
and puny and the doctors sad was
suffering from indigestion. 1 took the
child to the hospital, but there found
no relief. A friend mention? a the
Stuart Tablets and I procured a kx
from my druggist and used only the
large sweet lozenges in the box and
was delighted to find they were just
the thing for my baby. I 'feel justified
in saying that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets saved my child's life.
