CALL
We, the undersigned members of the
Farmers Alliance of Texas, believing that
the objects and purposes of the order are
not being carried out by those who now
control its executive machinery and state
organ, and being unwilling, by silence or
inaction, to tacitly indorse those who abuse
/ and misuse the trust committed to them,
and who have assumed to exercise authority
not delegated either ~ the state Alliance
VI VI tnc OEuCI- htICDN
a meeting of all members of the state,
county or subordinate Alliances of Texas,
to be composed of the following named per-
sons:
l. All members who oppose the sub-treas-
ury bill and other like impracticable and
visionary schemes Of finance, and who do
not indorse the efforts Of certain Alliance
bosses to brow-beat and drive the Demo-
cratic and independent thinking element of
the order. into the SllnnOrt of those meas
ureS.
2. All who do not indorse the conduct of
the So-called legislative committee that as
sumed to represent the Alliance at Austin,
before the last legislature, and made I'M
authorized demands before that body in the
name of the order, and who believe that the
representatives of the people are capable of
guarding their interest without the inter-
meddling and espionage Of steering COM
mitttee and self-constituted spies
3. All who are willing to organize for
the purpose of defeating the bargain and
agreement believed to have been entered
into between the representatives of the
railroads and other corporate interests of
this state and certain Alliance leaders, and
which bargain is in our opinion now being
carried out, whereby the vote and influence
of the Alliance are to be ueed in defeating
fair and impartial trial of the railroad COM
mission law, incorporated in the conSti-
tuition and placed on the statutes mainly by
the vote of the agricultural classes.
a. All who are in favor of preserving the
fruits of the great victory won over corpo-
rate power in the adoption of the railroad
commission amendment and the enactment
of the just. wise and wholesome law there
under by the last legislature.
B. All who oppose fraud, trickery, deceit
and corrupt methods within the Alliance,
and who are unwilling to make the order
tool or instrument for furthering the politi
cal interests of any man or party.
9. All who favor maintaining in their
original simplicity the objects and purposes
of the Alliance, leaving each member to Sc
lect the party Of his choice as the medium
through which to give expression and effect
TO his political opinions.
The meeting will be held at Fort Worth
on Friday and Saturday. July 10 and H.
