PAGE 4 U;o Nebraska Independent FEBRUARY 16, 1SCJ Independent National Organiza tion. Editor Independent: Enclosed you will find my vote In favor of retaining the organization of the populist party, independent of any other party. I wish, however, to qualify my vote upon this proposition by a brief explanation of my position. My preference for independent action - by our party is limited to national Is sues and national offices. I believe the action of the democratic party in its " last nationar convention makes this course imperative on our part ' I am not, however, one of that num erous faction we rea- so much of since the "late disaster," who has "always opposed fusion." To the contrary, I have always favorea fusion. I favored fusion in 1896, in both state and na tion. I cannot agree with those per . sons who date the downfall of the pop ulist party from the nomination of Mr. Bryan in 1896. Lbelieved at that time and do still believe, that it was the right and proper thing for our party to do. The course that our national - convention took that year might have lost us votes, but had we acted dif ferent It would have lost us ; more votes. Had our party refused to en dorse Mr. Bryan in that convention, it is my humble opinion that we would, by such refusal, have made the mistake fatal to our existence. I still believe, . as I did then, that the efforts made and the tactics used sby the republican , bosses to prevent us from thus combin ing with the . reform element of the . democratic party was sufficient proof that We were right in doing so, had we had no other reason. - ; But I can hear some of my fellow populists say, "What are you going to . do with -Mr. Bryan's course in the late campaign?" In answer,, I would sim ply suggest that we might ask a similar questioa concerning the recent -course . or General, weaver, who so gallantly led our hosts In lbo2? I do not endorse Mr. Bryan's course in the late campaign but I take it for granted that he is a man of mature years and capable of knowing his own business. Furthermore, neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Weaver, nor any other man is, or ever has been, the embodi ment of the populist party. The pop ulist party is founded upon certain principles. Men may waver, but prin ciples remain the same. Concerning fusion in our state upon the state offices for the past eieht vears we all well know that we never elected a state officer until we co-operated with the democrats.'without it was the pos sible exception of John 11. Powers in 1890, who, according to the DODulist , claim, was fairly elected governor, but was cpunted out, not by the democrats of Nebraska but by an Omaha mob, consisting of democrats and republi cans alike. - It was by co-operation that we were for four years in control of the state government. And when vg comnarp that four years of fusion administra tion with republican debauchery in our slate government, both before and since that period, have we anything to regret in the result of that co-opera tion? . Was it not by co-operation that elect- , ed Wm. V. Allen that great champion of the people's, rights to the' United States senate? Have we anything to be ashamed of-in Mr. Allen's record? I admit that there was plausible rea son for opposition to fusion in the last . campaign. But since we did fuse, and made the clean and honorable cam - palgn that we did, I beliee we made no mistake. We were defeated by a com bination of circumstances which I will 'not take time nor space to mention here. But we cannot charge this de feat to the democrats of Nebraska; They have stood shoulder to shoulder with us in the support "o Mr. Berge and the entire ticket. - - ', And, in this connection, I want to say in behalf of the democrats of this, the Tweitieth representative district ' " 'Of Nebraska, that they have stood by m as loyally in this campaign, in my candidacy for state representative as have my populist supporters, and this, too, in face of the fact that I positively refused to make ariy pre-election pledges as to whom I should vote for, for United States senator, and I don't i. ?harM"e it to either- democrats"or popu-listsr1Sl"hace4-tb64ate of the en . tire ticket andwent down In the gen eral landslide. I will also add that I am'in favor of co-operation again next -fall on the state ticket. ' I may be wrong in my opinion, but I believe it would be the proper policy for the populists and democrats of this state, tamak&n strong and united ef v --.fort: in the next campaign to retain Judge ', Holcomb upon the supreme bench, or elect some other populist or democrat equally as good. But, while this is my position upon JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT Was Alarmingly Afflicted With La Grippe. Cured by Pe-ru-na. The Grip is Properly Termed Epidemic Catarrh. As Pe-ru-na Cures Every Form of Catarrh, It Has Relieved More Cases of Grip Than All Other Remedies Combined. The Fear of Grip Makes People Nervous. There is no remedy in the world that .meets the conditions produced by the grip better than Pernna. Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates. Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vege table or mineral poison. t It reaches the source of all diseases of the mucous membranes by its action on the va8o-motor system of nerves. After-Effects of the Grip. Every person who has. had la grippe during the last year should take a course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do so. The grip has produced catarrhal in flammation of the whole mucous mem brane, and good health is - impossible until these are restored to a normal con dition. This Peruna will do. A great many remedies have been suggested for this condition from time to time,- but Peruna is the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases. .

Every one ot our tes timonials are genuine and in the words of the one whose name is appended. state politics, I repeat the present course of the national democratis party is so at variance with the fundamental principles of populism, that the only course for us to take is to begin anew the development of our party upon na tional isues, independent of any other party. Let us begin now to organize for the campaign of 1906 Possibly we cen elect a few congressmen that -year. At any rate we can, buy the founda tion for the national campaign of 1908. : C. U. GUILES. Lynch, Neb. A WoUson and Tibbies Precinct. Editor Independenti The weather here is very cold and as I can . do nothing I thought that I would tell you the condition of our lone star state. Our people have been so dis heartened that half of them takes no interest in politics. Not half of the Voters in the state voted a the last election. We are itaxed to death to keep up the high salaries of the officers. Texas has always been a strong demo? cratic state, but they change their principles so often that the people don't know where to find them. My - pre cinct went. for Watson, and Tibbies and even that much makes me rejoice,, to know that I live in a precinct that stands for the right.

No Time Like the Present If you are suffering from the after effects of la grippe if you have be come discouraged in your attempts to cure yourself with other treatments, take a bottle of Peruna now.
