public ownership, but takes up the
battle of organized labor.
Fourth, the further fact, that not
withstanding all the powers of capi
talism are being used to crush him, he
is going ahead picking up nearly ev
ery delegate, until it looks like he wiil
have ninety per cent of the delegates
to the democratic convention.
Is it not possible that this triumph
ant advance is the result of those
meritorious qualities reterred to by
Mr. Watson, in his dedicating his
"Jefferson" to Mr. Hearst, "becau&e
he has consecrated his wealth, talent
and energies to the improvement of
the conditions under which the masses
live; because he has shown an earn
est, fearless ami consistent course in
the cause of the weak and oppressed;
because he is today working with
splendid ability along the same line
which Mr. Jefferson marked out a
hundred years ago, I dedicate this
book to William Randolph Hearst.
I dp not think we should condemn
Mr. Watson because he "has recognized
the splendid worth of Mr. Hearst and
the magnificent and effective work of
his powerful newspapers. Mr. Waf-
son docs not mean to say that he will
indorse the democratic party. He
will undoubtedly stand with the rest
of us at Springfield, urging the adop
tion of the club system and the nomi
nation of a straight ticket whemrn
Mr. Hearst is nominated or not. Our
indorsement or Mr. Hearst would
weaken rather than strengthen him.
I do not think he asks it or will ask it.
But he has never misrepresented or
abused us and our principles, and on
the other hand has spread them by
far more effectively than we have
done ourselves, and we should recog
nize this splendid service by at least
treating him with respect, and grant
ing him the sincerity he has shown by
his whole life's work, which we can
do without sacrificing a' single piin
ciple, or pursuing any other . course
than the one we have already marked
out "in the middle of ' the road." II
Mr. Hearst is nominated our vote will
be very small; if he i3 defeated it will
be large. But if he is elected presi
dent of the' United States, while his
hands will be tied, our own principles
will get. a wonderful 'advance at his
hands, even though he be elected with
out our votes. JO A. PARKER.

W0Sspter MANURE SPREADER
COLORADO POPULISTS.
What are the populists of Colorado
going to do? The constituted leaders
of the party seem disposed to sit still
and see what the republicans are going
to do, then if the nominations suit
them to still sit still and do nothing,
letting the party organization go lo
pieces. If the republican convention
does not do the right thing from the
populist leaders' point of view, then
it seems to bo the program of the
populists to once more turn in and
help the democrats defeat the repub
lican ticket if possible.
From our point of view this is ail
wrong. By cuch a course the populists
would have everything to lose and
nothing to gain. The paity organiza
tion should no longer be prostituted
as trading stock In the hands of a few
designing men who have not the true
interests of the party at heart. We
want no more fusion nor hobnobbing
with tho old parties. The Hplts
party leaders ought to call a sta.e
convention early In the year, select 2'J
strong delegates to tho national con
vention at SpringlleUI, nomlnote tne
best state ticket they tan find, adofl
an honest platform and push tho or
ganization of tho party in the state
regardless of the actions or wishes of
either of the old parties.
If the present leaders of tho party
In Colorado don't want to da this and
get In line with tho new national or
KanUatlon, they ought to step down
and out and turn tho party ornul
tatinn over to others who have tho
IntrrrsU of tho party at heart and
who will push tho work of organisa
