l. IN the meetings on ------------
-, TO ratifv the work of the confer
ence, form local organizations, appoint
committee of three (unless one already
exists) which should meet at the county
seat as early as possible and not later
than April -. The duty of this COM
mittee shall be to fix time, place and
basis of representation for the county
convention.
2. Said committees when they meet
jointly in their respective county seats
shall also select committee of three
from each county (unless committee al
ready exists) whose duty it shall be to
confer with a like committee from all
other counties belonging to the same
Legislative, and congressional district,
for the purpose of fixing time, place and
basis of representation to hold legislative
and congressional conventions.
3. We also urge that the executive
committee of each state meet as early as
convenient and fix time, place and basis
Of representation for holding state con-
vention and designate how the delegates
from their state to the national conver-
tion shall be chosen.
4. When delegates are selected to the
national convention their names and post
office address should be forwarded i'm
mediateiy to Robert Schilling, Mil
waukee, Wis, secretary of the national
committee, so that he will be able to pre-
pare u roll by states before the conven-
tion meets.
5. We caution the people to take great
care in selecting delegates to the con-
gressional state and national conventions
Select no one unless he is known to be
true to our cause. Take men who have
been tried and not found wanting. We
have already received word from New
York and Pennsylvania that the old
parties intend to pack our primaries,
select delegates to the state and national
conventions who are not in sympathy
with our cause, and who will go their to
bring confusion and name Objectionable
candidates. 1t is also very important
that each state should have full dele
CATION at the national convention, and
for this purpose we urge that at all meet
ings called to select delegates to the ma
tional convention, and before such dele
gates are selected, a collection be taken
up to defray the expenses of those who
are unable to 60 on their own account.
6. We again urge upon you the neces-
sity of pushing the work. To do this.
money must be raised. Therefore we
kindly and earnestly ask all when meet
ing in primal capacity on March 26th,
to ratify the work done by the great con-
ference, that collection be taken up to
promulgate. our cause. Let the dona-
tions from each individual be ever so
small, if each one will assist little it
will collectively amount to great deal.
Forward all money to NJ. G. Rankin,
Terre Haute, Ind, who will receipt for
same. We also ask the reform press to
push the work through the columns Of
their papers as much as possible. 1t
Will not do to stop or to finch now. We
must not yield a single point or retreat
an inch from the position we have taken.
This is fight for our country, our flag
and our homes, in which every producer
is equally interested.
