WHEREAS, All Just powers of gov
eminent are derived from the consent
of the governed, and that the will of
the people cannot be expressed ex-
cept by popular suffrage. Therefore,
the delegates of the 9Th Congression-
al District hereby
RESOLVED, That we believe the ac-
ton of the Supreme Council IN au-
thorizing the appointment Of dele
gates to the st. Louis Conference by
the executive boards of the several
state Alliances was unWarranted and
unjustihable; and lnasmuch as such
action of the Supreme Council was
not mandatory, we believe our execu-
tive board should not have Tlsurped
the powers of the people by making
such appointments. We therefore
elect two delegates from the Sixth
District, and hereby ask that they be
given credentials to the st. Louis
Conference in order that the people
may be represented. And further
that these delegates be requested to
use all honorable means to secure
the adoption of the Ocala platform,
the sub-treasury and the land loan
plans included. And
WHRREAs, The representatives of
the people last winter did stand by
the will of their constituents, and in
all the number of 81 Alliance men,
there was not found a single one who
failed to stand by our principles and
the expressed will of their constitu-
ents. Therefore, be it
Resolved. That we believe the will
of the people is the only sure safe
guard to preserve the good name an ID
prosperity of the state, and that We
extend to our representatives. in the
legislature our confidence utmost.
