Agreement for Political Coalition in Kansas Proposed
In Topeka on March 8 a plan for a People’s and Democratic party coalition was confirmed by the People’s Party executive committee. The proposal calls for Democrats to back the People’s statewide ticket except the associate justice and to support People’s nominees in Congress in districts where Alliance members currently sit, while the People’s Party would back Democratic nominees in the First and Second districts and yield the Layton congressional seat. The report notes a large combined anti Republican majority of about 35,000 in the state.
