Then came one of the msst important
declarations of the convention. 1t has
been maintained right along by many
of the delegates, and some even went so
far last night as to give out to the
press that new state organ
ization in Missouri had been organized,
that this convention was for the express
purpose of seceeding from the national
Farmers Alliance and Industrial union
and form new body in opposition to
the present organization. A. S. Smith,
of Missouri. wanted to protest against
the erroneous articles which appeared
i'll print, and offered the following,
which was adopted unanimously:
Whereas. The impression has gained some
credence that either the primary or ultimate
OBJECT OF this meeting is for the purpose of
effectiag separation or division of the order
and the formation of distinct organization;
therefore,
Resolved, That such purpose is not and
has not at any time been, the intention of
this meeting, but that its object is purely one
OF expressing its opposition to the proposed
subtreasury and land loan enactments and
to institute an educational movement in that
direction, thereby bringing the organization
back to those principles of wisdom, justice
and fraternity on which it was originally
based.
The convention then took a recess I'M
til D. In. Upon reassembling, the COM
mittee on permanent organization asked
for further hearing. and the following
was presented:
Believing that the future policies and pros.
perity of the government and of the Farm
ers Alliance and Industrial union depend in
large measure upon the action of this body
in setting forth plans for work in the
future; and, fully realizing the fact that
we need the hearty cooperation of all
people, and especially of the members
OF our order, and in order to secure the same
we recommend that the members in each
state who oppose the subtreasury and land
loan schemes, and government ownership of
railroads. ana who are not represented in
this meeting, be respectfully invited to CO.
operate with us, ana are further requested 10
proceed to organize and to elect one mem
Der from each state, who shall become

mittee provided for in the report of the COM
mittee OIL permanent organization
