The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-07-22

Resolutions adopted by the Nation
al Central Committee of the peoples
party.
Resolved, That the National Com
mittee of the peoples party request
the Reform press to urge, with all it's
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 nation
al campaign; that they then adjourn
to meet again on the 10Th day of
August, the anniversary of the bat
tie Bloomington, the first battle of
the American revolution, and that
on that day meetingsbe held in every
township to collect funds for the
campaign, since without funds we
cannot make the fightfor reform with
any hope OF success. The people
must sustain this campaign with
their means as we'll as their votes, or
it NAV fail, and with it the hopes of
the people for Justice and prosperity
in this and all future generations.
The meetings in county districts
shall be held at 10 clock a. m, and
the meetings in the villages and cities
at s O'Clock p. III, and all money col
lected shall be at once transmitted
to NJ. 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 festivi-
ties. And we further request that at
each OF such meetings a finance corn
mittee shall be appointed, whose duty
it shah be to make a thorough can
vass os the township or precinct for
contributions. And in addition to
the esove method ofrasing money we
hereby establish four funds to be
known as the"Ten Dollar Campaign
Fund.-" the give Dollar Campaign
Fund.-" the Zone Dollar Campaign
Fund.- and the "Fifty Gent Campaign
Fund.- and we request that all friends
of the cause, who are able to do so,
shalRsend their names and contribu.
tons directly to our treasurer, to be
published in the Reform press of their
respective states; provided that con-
tribNtors to these funds shall be
allowed, ii they desire to do so, to
pay in monthly instaNments.
We also urge that every speaker
for,the peoples party shall take UP
colleetionsfo for our national campaign
fund wherever they. may address the
people.
We would also rage that the ladies
who are in sympathy with the pao-
pies party in the respective states
tshal be urged and requested by the
Reform press to brm clubs for the
4 collection of funds and the forward
4 ing Of our work..
| The National Committee Oh the
i peoples party says to their friends
j that there is unreasonable probability
that the party willsweep the-oountry
and elect theip candidate for presi
dent and VIDE president if they art
given means enough to put speakers
in the field, and supply the people
, with campaign literature.
. A striking evidence of the revolr
} ton now going onis found in the fac:
} that Kentucky delegate offered tA
following resolution, and it wa
unanimously adopted:
That the peoples party OF the Uni
ted States earnestly request tn
women of the country to organize a
!, once and help us in this contest, be
cause we are fighting to save no
only them and ourselves, but tn
coming generations from plutocrati
slavery.
