Judge John Martin was called before the legislative populist caucus at 1:30 in the morning, after the fourteenth ballot, which stood: Martin 44, Doster 43.
In his talk to the caucus he said every railroad corporation and capitalized interest in the state was working to prevent his nomination. "I am a democrat," he said, "but believe in your platform, and, if sent to the senate, will do my best to secure the reforms you demand. I will go into the democratic caucus, but will not be bound by caucuses. I am in favor of wiping out all national bank charters. I am in favor of that part of your platform which declares for the sub-treasury system or something better,' that is, I want something better. I don't favor the sub-treasury system itself. I helped to fight your battles last fall. I was with you in the hour of need, and now every democrat who is opposed to a fusion in Kansas in two years is here fighting me for senator."
