There is Light Ahead.
The presidential campaign
will be berlin by all parties as
a« this fall's election i* over.
the national campaign is concerned,
in every state in the Union. That it
will muster under its banner a tre-
mendous army of voters form the
outset and will constantly grow until
the polls are closed in November two
years hence. Whether the fight is
made under the name Peoples party,
or under some new name agreed
upon by the wage earners of the east
and elsewhere and the Populists and
other reformers, it will be the same
reform movement that has existed
ever since the days when Peter
Cooper was the standard bearer. In
many of tne larger cities wage earn-
ers and small buiness men are break-
ing away from the old parties and
forming independent local parties
under various names—United Labor,
Public Ownership, etc, or joining the
Socialist party. That these reform
elements are not united today is 110
cause for discouragement, because
the breaking away from old organiza-
tions naturally comes through
various new organizations. The
Peoples party, with its millions of
votes in 1892, was the consolidation
of the tireen-back-Labor party and
several farmers' organizations and
the Knights of Labor. The consoli-
dation was not complete but a
mighty army rallied to the polls and
cast their votes for the Peoples
party.
it is well enough, perhaps, that
the reform movement was tem-
porially sidetracked in 1896, for had
that llank movement of the old
parties not been made then it would
have been made later and perhaps
would have been as successful. But
now that lesson has been learned and
it will not have to be learned again.
Fusion still prevails in the west but
it is the final windup of that policy,
in our opinion. We do not know but
what after the six years of fusion in
the west it is well enough that the
Populists there are not standing
alone this year. It is not a favor-
able time for a divorce between the
two parties in those states. The fact
that the Democratic party as a a
national organization is done with
Bryanism; done with the Chicago
platform, has not been made clear in
Kansas and Nebraska and farther
west. But the truth will come out
immediately following this \ ear's
elections. Their confidence in the
sincerity of Mr. Bryan may continue
and events may prove that he is en-
titled to even more credit for sin-
cerity of purpose ih,-ui has been
given him by a greai ...j. 11 \. Never-
theless it will becouie as plain us
daylight that the experienced and
tricky politicians of the Democratic
party, let the Chicago convention go
as it did for the purpose of killing
the reform movenmet and absorbing
its membership. For the Populists
of Kansas and Nebraska to break
away from their fusion policy now
might leave many Populists in the
Democratic party and many Demo-
crats would remain in the Demo-
cratic party who will not separate
from the Peoples party when the
middle-of-the-road is taken in 1904'
because it will, long before that be
plain that the Democratic party is
under the control of the same in-
fluences that shaped its course when
it ran Cleveland for the presidency
three times. At any rate fusion has
again been decided upon in those
two states 011 state officials Of
course many Populists will consider
it a hard dose, especially in Kansas,
j where the ticket will bo headed
j Democratic, and will likely stay I
I away from the pulls or vote the
J Socialist ticket. Some of them may '
t even vote the Republican ticket.
But whatever Populists in Kansas
I or elsewhere, iet them proclaim that
they are still Popnlists and ready lor
a straight reform light against both
These great labor enters, the weak-
est points of the reform movement
in the past, bid fair to become its
strongholds. We are firmly con-
vinced of what we here state. True
it was thought harmonious action of
reformers would come sooner, but
Bryan's second nomination prevent
ed it. In the long run perhaps noth-
ing has been lost by the four years
delay. The reform sentiment, which
was somewhat sectional has become
universal, and a reform government
will have strong sympathy in all
sections, which is perhaps necessary
to the successful inauguration of
great and radical reforms. The
monopolists are compelling the peo-
ple of the east to take up Populist
remedies. There is 110 doubt of the
existence of a strong sentiment for
independent political action in the
east. There is light ahead. Let 110
Populist waver now. Especially do
we appeal to western Populists to
stand up for the Peoples party or-
ganization. Vote your fusion tickets
this year if you want to, but let all
know that you favor keeping up the
Peoples party.
TO MY FRIENDS.
It is with joy I tell you what Iiodol
did for me. I was troubled with my
stomach for severaf months. Upon
being advised to use Kodol, I did so,
and words cannot tell the good it has
done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia
so that he had tried most everything.
I told him to use Kodol. Words of
gratitude have come to me from him
because I recommended it. Geo. W.
Fry, Viotalowa. Health and strength
of mind and body, depend on thu
stomach, and normal activity of \he
digestive organs. Kodol, the great
reconstructive tonic, cures all stom-
ach and bowel troubles, indigestion,
dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good
food you eat. Take a dose after
meals. Fred Reed.
Will Build a Kitchen at the Sanitari urn
Mayor J. C. Robb of Kingfisher was
in Guthrie Monday with J. R. Cotting-
ham, both gentlemen being members
of the Norman Sanitarium company.
They were conferring relative to
some improvements at the sanitarium
along the lines mentioned by the re-
cent report of the board of physicians
appointed by the governor to investi-
gate conditions at the sanitarium.
The board reported things in good
shape, but suggested a new kitchen.
I his Robb and Cottingham have
agreed to erect immediately.
HIS SIGHT THREATENED.
"While piunlcing last month my
11-year-old boy was poisoned by some
weed or plant," says W. H. Dibble, ol
Sioux City, la. "He rubbed the poison
off his hands into his eyes and for a
while we were afraid he would lose his
sight, finally a neighbor recom-
mended DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
The first application helped him and
in a few days he was as well as ever,"
For skin diseases, cuts burns, scalds,
wounds insect bites, DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is sure cure. Relieves
piles at once. Beware of counter-
leits. Fred Reed.

A PHYSICIAN HEALED.

F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
. Baltimore, Md., March -jo, 1901.
i,en1ltmen • — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give vou
a lull history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting'worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without nnv success, consulted a num-
ber ot physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever
1 then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered vour treat-
metit. Alter I had used it only a few dr ys according to your directions, the noises censed, and
to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased car has been entirely restored. 1 thank you
heartily aud beg to remain Very truly yours. *
