THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT JANUARY 28, 1904. 10 "nave" is converted into an enormous reception and reading room surround ed by thirty smaller rooms, each beautifully, but differently', furnished, which are occupied by the officers of the church and the "practitioners," that is, those who go out to heal the filcli. The cost of maintaining the church is $35,C00 a year. Although this church cost $1,185,000, eyry cent of it was paid before the dedication, and that is the way all the expenses are taken care of. The organ is op erated by electricity. To the key board there is affixed a great electric cable, carrying hundreds of wires to which the keys and stops are at tached. The organ can be played from one part of the church as well as an other or from down town for that matter. I am under obligations for the courtesy shown me by the su perintendent, Mr. Richard P. Vernal, whose address is 1 West 96th street, New York city. If you expect to attend the St. Louis meeting, February 22, 1904. kind ly write a card to Chairman Jo A.

A LEGAL NOMINATION There seems to be considerable mis understanding on the part oi a num ber of populists as to what would constitute a "lcal nomination" for president and vice president.. Some contend that unless the nomination be made by direct vote under the Cincinnati plan, it will not be "legal." Others hold to the view that unless the nomination be made by a national convention, it will be "illegal." As a matter of law and fact, both are wrong. In the first place no nomination whatever is legally necessary, because the federal constitution, does not pro vide for a direct vote by the people, and there is in reality no such thing as a national election or a national political party. In fact, the constitu tion was framed with, the Idea ot avoiding the formation of political parties. Further, too, with the idea of keeping the people as far away as possible from having a direct voice in national affairs. In this, the hand of Hamilton can be seen; also the fact that Jefferson had no part in framing the original corejitution. - Paragraph 2, section 1. -article 2 of the United States constitution pro vides that - "Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a nun ber of electors, equal to the whole num ber of senators and represent a tives to which the state may be entitled in the congress; but no senator or representative, or per .Bon holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall ba appointed an elector." Paragraph 3 is supei&eded by the 12th amendment, and provides for the election of a president and a vice president by the electors,, so appointed as above set out Hence, so fir as concerns the so called "nomination" of president, it .. may be done any way, or omitted al together. The real election 1 made by the electors mentioned in para graph 2. The various state legislatures have directed the manner of "appointing" the electors. In practically every bUle this h done by popular vote. Here is where the ncccaimy cornea in for "k ral" action and not In the matter of a national nomination. Candidates for electors In all itates where they are chosen by pop ular vote nnifit be nominated In ac cordance with the state law.

The statutes of Nebraska provide that "Electors of president and vice president shall be elected at the general election in the year.lSS0, and every four years thereafter, on such day as congress may ap point, said electors to bo chosen . from the state at large." The conclusion is, therefore, that the people's party may select its standard-bearers for 1904 in whatever manner is deemed best. But the elec tors in each state must be placed In nomination In. accordance with the state law. The Independent would be glad to hear from some good populist lawyer In each state as to the legal status of the people's party and the manner of nominating- electors. "Redemption." as Mr. Bryan pointed out after the election of 1900, means a buying back At that time he re garded republican "redemption" of Nebraska as a polite term for ex pressing the fact that the republicans had bought back political control of the state. -But as the years go by and state taxes grow heavier by jurnpg and bounds of 30 per cent, 72 per cent, and on up, the word takes on new significance. It is now apparent that republican ' redemption" of Ne braska means that the farmers mul let heads and Old Guards alike must buy. back their property from the re publican tax-eaters, who are" sauan- dering it in building up a political machine to keep them in power perpetually.

One of theCddGulird of Populism a few weeks ago made the just com plaint mat after the Old aarA hx, spent their time and money building up me people's party, the offices most ly went to what he termed "the half baked railroad nass bneade." n la true that among the populist officials or Nebraska were some who stood much too close to the railroad corpora tions to be true representatives of the people. But, after all, general results count. The .populist administration has never been equalled in Nebraska. There are many of the Old'Guard who never aspired to office but as a mat ter of self-preservation they cannot afford to cease their vigilance. They must suffer along with the mullet heads the effects of republican "redemption." HOW'S THIS?
