GETTING READY TO MOVE ON MIN

A WngOn-LOad Campaign The
Routes to BE Laid Out-TaSe Hold
and Help.

To the Editor of The Representatives: If
the suggestion made in a recent issue of
The Representative, to go to the convention
to be held in Minneapolis in July, that
delegates go by teams, is accepted as a
good one then it is we'll to seriously dis
cuss this matter.
The route for delegates from Yellow
Medicine, Chippewa, Lac Qui Parle, Rem
vile, Mcleod, Sibley and Carver county
can be easily arranged, and the points for
camping each night can be selected and
grand mass meetings arranged. There are
enough Populists along the route to at
tend to all details of meetings. Will say
that will make all arrangements for dele
gates from adjoining counties that wish to
go to the state convention in this way
to secure every accommodation possible
while passing through this county, and |
think earnest men will do the same in
every county along this route.
There is no question but such move
would do much towards creating discussion
and awakening interest in and demands
on the part of those who will hardly takes
time to read and investigate.

this country, and cares for the future of
this government, should make every ex-

are still slumbering.

teams coming in from all directions, and
