Kaunas Farmers. Topkka, Kan., March 23. A mooting was held today of the eovoral county preaidonts of the farmors' alliance. There is a gojd attendance. Tho proceedings, ns usual, are conducted privately. B. H. Clover, president of tho Kansas farmers' alliance, who presided, in his nddress, stated that tho alliance is growing rapidly, rap-idly, and claimed that there nro in Kansas 1800 alliances, with aa aggregate membership of 70,000. The Alliance has grown so rapidly in numbers and perfoction of organization that it has become a decidedly disturbing disturb-ing factor in local and state politics. Every county, nearly, in the whole Btate is orgtnized', and pretty nearly every farmer in each county is a member of the organization. This thorough organization organ-ization has made tho order exceptionally exception-ally strong. In local politics where their immediate interests are at stake, the Alliance havo generally docided to Bupport only thoso candidates who coincide with their views and adopt their principles. In state politics similar action has been decided upon, and thoy have even gono so far as to select a farmer as their candidate for governor. They have already got their lingor in the national political pie. The determination of the alliance to enter politics is seriously troubling the politicians poli-ticians and they are becoming, decidedly nervous. |
