LOUIS, Dec. 25.—Members of the | | Middle-of-the-road Populists’ National | Committee and other leaders in various | reform movements debated all of to-day a bility of forming a combination with the | | Social Democratic and Unfon Reform par- | ties. | The tenor of the speeches made by the commitieemen was practically unanimous | in opposition to the plan and in favor of | garryirg on the work of the Populist par- | ty strictly along its own lines. It was de- cided to issue un address setting forth in | detail the views of the committee. About ninety members of the national | | committee were present in person or by | proxy. Neither Wharton Barker nor Ig- | natius Donnelly was here. The laiter 1s, | sick. Among those present were: Jo A. | Parker, Thomas J. Reed and J. D. John- | son of Kentucky; W. S. Morgan of Arkan- | | the St. James Hotel over the advisa- sas, Colonel Frank Burkett of Mississippi, | g Tom P. Peal Vantine and | J. H. Hillis of Missouri, Colonel J. 8. Fel | ter of Iilinois, Colonel Thomas Wads- worth of Indiana and Miss Clara Williams | of West Plains, Mo. A representative of | the Socialist party was present in the per- | on of Professor George D. Herron of nnell, Jowa. Chairman Parker in an address of South Dakota, A. the old parties, and declared that the fight should be carried forward without any | compromising. Mr. Parker said he haa 5 tssued the call to representatives of all branches of the Popullst party, but that the fusionists Liad ignored it entirely. The time was ripe, be =aid, for a great polit- icel battle, and he desired to ask the rep- resentatives of other reform movements to stand with the middle-of-the-roaders and make the principles of the latter theirs. Professor George D. Herron of Grinnell, Towa, who had heen invited to be present, was asked to address the gathering on socialism. He said that the reason Bryan was not elected was because he was not | cal man—that he represented eight- eenth century philosophy and was pro- foundly ignorant of mankind and of the present political needs. Before the last election a strange condition of af- fairs existed One-third of the votars, the speaker declared, .were not sure how they would vote. They were not in sympathy with the Republican party, and in their extremity saw no refuge in the platform laid down by the Democrats. The result was they did the best they could. These voters are now waiting for | a definite, clear-cut, radical programme of reform to be presented to them, and this | they will uphold. The real issue in Amer- ica, Professor IHerron said, is a clear-cut conflict veen industrial democracy and capitalism, or the old political absolutism | brought down to date. There is no middle ! ground. Representatives of the different reform movements present were listened to in the presentation of what in their opinion was necessary to bring about the reforms needed.
