Populism Dying Out Says Peffer At Wichita Speech
Ex senator WA Peffer, former Prohibition candidate for governor, told veterans at Griswold Park that populism is dying and the party will be absorbed by the Democrats. He was seen briefly after addressing the old soldiers before leaving for the grounds.
Populist Absorption and Prohibition in State Politics
In an interview the respondent predicts the Populist party will be absorbed by the Democrats nationwide, with local Kaneas politics showing the Populists allied to Democrats and unlikely to push prohibition. Women suffrage may also be avoided by the party. The senator predicts about 15,000 votes for himself, and notes Prohibitionists hope to mobilize support, promising delivery within six months.
