Rice. candidate for senator from Kansas,
assisted by Capt. Powers Of Indiana, is
drawing up a call to be issued to the
Farmers Alliance and all the industrial
unions of America, which favor the princi-
pies Of the st. Louis platform, to meet in

consider the third party or peoples move
ment. The name of this new party will

vention hall: ITO the National Farmers
