REFoRMERs TO MEET
CHICAGO. Nav 1O-G NJ. Miller. of
Chicago, representing the executive
committee of the national reformers,
has issued call for a meeting to be
held in the parlors of the Palace hotel,
Cincinnati O., June rs, to determine
what part the organization should
take in the approaching campaign.
The call says among other things:
"1he object Of the national reformers has not
been to maintain an additional political party
but has been to unite the aggressive reform
forces Of the nation on the finance, land, trans
portation and suffrage reforms and suppression
of the liquor traffic. We believe that the genuine
reform elements are rapidly becoming ready
for such union, and that by wise counsel and
prudent procedure on the part of those who are
fully aroused to the necessity Of union, this
vitality important result may be effected in the
near future. We therefore invite all such of
whatever party, to join US in an informal confer
ence for the purpose OF adopting some plan by
which TO promote fraternal relations between
the reform parties 10 the end that a
union may be effected, and If this be
not at present practicable that such at
titude may be maintained by the respect
i've parties toward each other that union against
the united evils which they oppose may be ef-
fected at a later date and if deemed wise 70 sp-
point an appropriate committee to secure ia
vorable consideration Of such policy of fraterni-
" ana union by the national convention of the
prohibition and peoples parties respectively"
