I Big Stick or Stuffed; lub I
Populism In White Hoxis
TALLICA
The Council Bluffs Nonpariel of last
Monday contained the following inter
view: Populists of the United States are in
line for President Roo3evelt on. the
program he has laid down, according
to the declaration of Thomas H. Tib
hies of Lincoln, recent candidate for
vice president on the third party ticket.
The statement was made unreserved
ly yesterday to a reporter for the Non
pareil, and Mr. Tibbies asserted fur
ther that every populist in the' country
would help to hold up the president's
hands in his effort to secure remedial
legislation along interstate commerce
and other lines. - :
"Roosevelt is right and I am for
' him," said Mr. Tibbies in an emphatic
' manner. "I endorse his position on
5 the revision of the tariff, but most of
ySOWL-fi-wady to back him up in the

railroad rate3. Though I do n ot think
ment owns one railroad now the one
across the isthmus of Panama and it
also owns two telegraph lines, one par
alleling the isthmian railroad, the oth
er consisting of 4,000 miles of ocean
cable and land wires in Alaska. Be
sides these, the government has taken
absolute control of wireless telegraphy
along the coast.
"What the populists want to find out
is whether Roosevelt has a big stick
or a stuffed club. If they are satisfied
that it is a stick and that he means to
apply it to the railroads, they will say
'Go ahead,' Teddy; we're with you.'
The whole party will support him with
as much vehemence as it ever support
ed Bryan when he was advocating the
same things. Populists are. independ
ent and they don t care what label a
man has, just so he doe3 what is right
It is the principle they look at,
"I look for the biggest uproar in con
gress within a short time that there
bsuLbeen since the days of Andy John-
President
anything short of government owner
ship will settle the question, President
Roosevelt's plan is a long step forward,
and it will meet the approbation of
f-pulists everywhere."
JMr. Tibbies is editor of the Nebraska
jLIMeoendent, a weekly newspaper at
Nl-r - k leading populist
-3,.'Fgatt the United Statel. err3r
'wsjk ha preaches to a good many
thousand readers, and he is telling
them through uie columns of his pa-
. Tg that Roosevelt's, policies are .what
the country needs. Mr. Tibbies came
to Council Bluffs yesterday to visit his
daughter, Mrs. J. A. Barris, who re
. sides at 627 First avenue.
"The whole country is adopting pop
ulist ideas," said Mr. TibblesT ''I be
lieve if the question of government
ownership were put to a vote of the
people now it would carry. Of course,
I don't believe the voters would favor
..'i taking over all the roads at once, and
no populi3t wants that, but on a propo
sition to acquire one transcontinental
line, say from New York to San Fran
, . cisco, I think there vould be no doubt
as to its acceptance. The people are
tired of railroad domination, rebates
and excessive rates, ; u . -

store, and I believe the next great re

Iowa the party has maintained its as
cendancy, while other states have gone
off to populism at times. Why is this?
Simply because the republican leaders
of Iowa had sense enough to hold the
railroads in restraint. They adopted
the ideas of the grange and alliance
and made them republican policy. . "
"It" is certainly gratifying to U3
long-haired, rrild-eyed - 'anarchists' to
see populism roosting in the white
house. The fact is, this government
must come to populism, and we are on
the road there already. The govern-

railroad rate3. Washington is swarm
ing with railroad magnates and attor
neys. Some congressmen and senators
may honestl yendeavor to secure .such
legislation, but the majority were
elected by railroads and can't be de
pended on to carry out the president's
recommendation. Steve Elkins of West
Virginia, tbo chairman of the senate
committee on railroads, la the biggest
railroad owner in his state.
"Populist .leaders feel pretty well
satisfied over the result of the elec
tion. They were interested in seeing
Parker defeated on account of the hy
pocrisy with which his campaign was
conducted. The democratic party 13
tnorougniy disorganized. Bryan s po
sition destroyed confidence in him, and
he can't rally his follower as he used
to. I get letters from hundreds of
democrats who say they are dissat
isfied with the course : he took during
the campaign. There will be no more
fusion between populists and the demo
cratlc party, at least so long as it re
mains in the hands of Wall street.-
"The populists" are looking ahead
already to 1908, and the present feeling
is" that Thomas E. Watson of Georgia,
our late presidential candidate,' should
again, be the standard bearer; though
there is somesentiment for ex-Senator
Alien or Nebraska, while the party
polled only 124,000 votes last "year, its
organization is In better shape than

vMr. Tibbies said that he had heard
of "lots of deviltry" going on at Wash
ington and expected to go there in a
week or two and see for himself what
congress is, doing. He declared that
eastern newspapers were suppressing
important Information and that there
were no journals any more with cour
age to oppose congress o;. such mat
ters as the ship subsidy, asset currency
measures : and the river and harbor
appropriations, which he characterized
as a "steal."' ' ' ."N.
