Then came one of the most impor-
tant declarations of the convention. II

went 80 far as to give out to the press
that a new state organization in Mis-
souri, had been organized, that this con-
vention was for the express purpose OF
seeding from the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union and form
ing new body in opposition TO the
pres ent organization.
A. :. Smith. of Missouri, offered the
. 4. ,fttasNt Il
adopted
whereas. The impression has gained
. some crcdence that either the primary oi
ultimate object of this meeting Is Tor th'
purpose of ffectlng separation or division
81 the order and the formation of II distinct
organization; therefore,
) Resolved, That such purpose ~ not ant
, has not at any time been the intention %
, this meeting, but that lis object Is purely
/. one OF expressing Its opposition to the pro
I poaed sub treasury and land loan enact
! nents, and to institute AN educatlona
1 movement In that direction, thereby bring
|. ing the organization back to those princi
pies of wisdom, justice and fraternity ol
which II was originally based.
The convention then took recess.
