Barker Says His Piece On Populist Nomination
Wharton Barker, the mid dle-of-the-road populist nominee for president at Cincinnati, met President McKinley to pay respects. Barker told an AP rep that his nomination makes Bryan's election impossible, predicting Bryan's total will fall to around five million votes as populists shift to Barker and that Democratic defections from 1900 will not restore Bryan's tally. He argued eastern Democrats would not carry New York and New Jersey if a different nominee were chosen, and that issues beyond the money question like transportation and expansion will drive the campaign.

Keeping Up the Fight Filipinos Active in Guerrilla War
A Manila letter to the Herald from February 10 notes the insurgents remain active despite claims of pacification. In the past forty days American forces suffered more losses and supplies than any similar period in the war. Ambushes kill or wound small patrols, followed by futile punitive expeditions. Insurgents, including Amigos, know our moves, while many native Filipinos refuse aid to troops. The letter cites about forty captured, many killed or wounded, and substantial arms and rations lost to the insurgents.
