Lenders of the Party In ICnnsns 'I'alce Opposite Positions. TOPEKA , Kan Aug. 9.-Special.-The ( ) populists will open their state campaign at Valley Falls next Thursday , Governor Leedy will fire the first gun. His performance - ance on that occasion will be watched with some interest on account of the wide difference - ference of opinion entertained by the populist - list leaders as to how the war proposition issue should be handled. Leedy has always been in favor of coming out fiat-footed and opposing the policy of President McKinley , pronounce the war a failure and oppose the Increase of the army and navy. His theory is that the populists should declare that the war was prolonged to assist the republicans In the congressional elections this fall. He made this declaration at the populist slate convention. Attorney General Boyle and Superintendent - ent Stryker propose to uphold the national administration. "No matter what the rest of the nominees may do , " said Strylcer , "I propose to talk McKinley , " Boyle made the same assertion. "Tills is a war for hum- manlty , " said ho , "and the popullsts cannot afford to condemn it. " 4ongressmam-at-Large Boutin wants to talk patriotism , and say it few good things about the able management of the war , but attack the bond issue. He will talk green- backs. So will all the rest , for that matter - ter , Silver will not be discussed , It is a dead issue with the populists. Jerry Simpson doesn't know just what eel of time dilemma to tackle. His speech in the house in which he said our navy was made up of tin ships and manned by cigarette - ette dudes and that it was a useless commodity - modity and should not ho enlarged has arisen to embarrass him. Ills speech to the effect that all the national administration wnnted of a large standing army was to suppress labor is also bothering him. All of the Kansas populist congressmen voted ntainst the war revenue measure. After this country was at war with a fern cign enemy and had to have money on which to run its navy and army the popullsts refused - fused to support the only bill offered to raise sufficient revenue. hind congress followed lowed their footsteps war operations would have had to be abandoned , And yet they declare they will talk patriotism. Their actions speak louder titan words , Time people - ple of tlto state will ho more inclined to take into consideration their record in con. gross than their promises on the stump. The populist state comnmltteo is laboring hard to get time populist state and con- gressionnl nominees to adopt a uniform war talk and Governor Leedy's address at Valley - ley Falls next Thursday will show whether the committee has met with success la its efforts , MISSOUitI IPMOCIIA'l'S GtTIIEBINL Demure to Inject Some i'rogressh'e heel rine Into'l'helr I'lutforu , ST.
