How Kansas PopnHam Sprang Into
tumenoe ana xook Its Name.
(Kansas city Journal.)' '
Tt was at the Saturday Night Crab
of Topeka, composed of lawyers, doo
tors, newspaper men and other high
brows, and the question turned to
the haloyon days of Kansas Populism,
not ma new populism wmn naa
erlbbed all of Its ideas from Mary
Ellen Lease. Anna L. Dlggs and Pef-
fer, but the genuine article the ;
blown-ln-the-bottle brand of the early
niiivuui,
How did the Populist party ret Its ,
name?" some one asked. . It was ad-
mUtted by all of the highbrows but
one that the question involved a co
nn nd rim, if it were not' completely I
wranned tn ntTitwr That nn mntn I
Frank Jarrell, "salve spreader" for
the Santa Fe, who erarmg tha years
of Populism was a political newspaper
correspondent In Topeka. And so ha
proceeded to relate how the Pope got
their name.
The selection of a name for that
party of whiskers and disoontent was
not a popular one." said Jarrell. "On
the election ballots and Jn official pub
lications rne organisation was known
as the People's Party, but the news
papers and the politicians, aa well as
the plain, common people, referred to
ii as tne Fopunst party, or ma rop
party.
'At an informal meeting of People's
Party and Democratic leaders la
Topeka held for the purpose of form
ing a coalition of rorces ror a cam
paign against the Republicans., the
late David Overmyer. a Democrat,
twitted some of the Pooplos Party
adherents about their party name It
Is an awakward arrangement.' Mr.
Overmyer suggested. 'When I want
to refer to a man who belongs to the
Democratic party. I call him a Demo
crat for abort If I have occasion
to make reference to a member of
the Republican party. I call him a
Republican. But how on earth shall
designate with ease and comfort a
member of your People's Party? I
oan't call him a People, so I have to
go to the trouble or referring to him
John Doe, an advocate of the
People's Party faith," or something
of that sort. If I affiliate with your
party you must fix np a short name
for the members aa a time saver in
conversation.'
Judge W. e. Rlgbtmlre, a wneaW
horse in the new party of reform,
said that the criticism was well found
ed, and he asked Mr. Overmyer to
suggest a term for common use. Mr.
Overmyer studied a minute, and sng-
erested Populist from the Latm
Populi, a noted newspaper correspon
dent whose, front name Is Vox.
That's "good,' said Rlghtmfre,
the newspaper men don't shorten
Populist to Pop."
"So much the better,' Overmyer
replied.
"A report of the Incident reached
the newspapers, and the word Popu
Ht was adorned. In" a little while, as
Rightmlre pre dieted , popunet was re-
I lrttirM n PP m some pang oi ine
I OAntti tha tarnt wim rhAnrod to Van-
ullte. I think? Tom Watson oalled
himself a Popuilte. But the Kansas
appellation generally was accepted
throughout the country."
