"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

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. If this
requires a iimsa or tlohgate cmeu
lion, a convention must 1 tuld to

Where a petition is necessary, the
records of the Old Guard of Populism
will come in good play, showing
where to reach the hustling, conscien
tious populists.
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."
