JNo. l.. HAYES.
TO THE REFORM PRESS.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the National Central Com
mittee of the Peoples Party, and an
earnest request made to have the
Reform press take them UP and pub
lish the same and do all in their power
to assist the committee in carrying
them out. The time has come for
battle, no shrinking from duty now.
Everybody must do what is in his
power to advance our cause.
Resolved, That the National Com
mittee of the Peoples Party request
the Reform press to urge, with all its
force and influence, that upon the
oath day of July, or as much earlier as
possible, every Peoples Party club
and organization in the United States
meet and collect funds for the national
campaign; that they then adjourn to
meet again on the 10th day of August,
the anniversary of the battle of Ben
nington, the first battle of the Ameri-
can resolution, and that on that day
meetings be held in every township to
collect funds for the national campaign
since without funds we cannot make
the fight for reform with any hope of
success. The people must sustain this
campaign with their means as well as
their votes, or it may fail, and with it
the hopes of the people for justice and
prosperity in this and all future gener-
ations. The meetings in country
districts shall be at 10 O'Clock a. m..
and the meetings in the villages and
cities at O'Clock p. M, and all money
collected shall be at once transmitted
to M. G.. Rankin, of Terre Haute, Ind,
treasurer of the National Committee of
the Peoples Party. And we suggest
that on the said 10th day of August
the people devote the day to this great
work with speeches and festivities.
And we further request that at each
of such meetings finance committee
shall be appointed, whose duty 1t shall
be to make a thorough canvass of the
township or precinct for contributions.
And in addition to the above method
raising money we hereby establish four
funds to be known as the FETen Dollar
Campaign Fund.- the GIVE Dollar
Campaign Fund.-" the Gone Dollar
Campaign Fund.- and the 'EFifty Cent
Campaign Fund.-" and we request that
all friends of the cause, who are able to
do so, shall send their names and con-
tribution directly to our treasurer, to
be published in the Reform press of
their respective states; provided that
contributions to these funds shall be
allowed, if they desire to do so, to pay
in monthly installments.
We also urge that~every speaker for
the Peoples Party shall take up col
lections for our national CAMPAIGN
fund wherever they may address the
people.
We would also argue that the ladies
who are in symp athy with the Peoples
Party in the respective states shall be
urged and requested by the Reform
press to form clubs for the collection
of funds and the forwarding of our
work.
The National Committee of the
Peoples Party says to their friends
that there is a reasonable probability
that the party will sweep the country
and elect their candidate for president
and vice-president if they are given
means enough to put speakers in the
field and supply the people with CAM
paign literature.
A striking evidence Of the revolution
now going on is found in the fact that
Kentucky delegate offered the follow
ing resolution, and it was unanimously
adopted
That the Peoples Party of the
United States earnestly request the
women of the country to organize at
once and help us in this contest. be
cause we are fighting to save not onlv
them and ourselves, but the comipg
generations from plutocratic slavery.
