discussed in its meetings. Clubs will
largely disband when the fall elections
are over. They have never had any
systematic plan. We change them to
Legion for 20 cents for charter and
supplies
The following is the Endorsement Of
the national committee OF the Peoples
party:
Legion Circular.
All Farm and Labor orders, Peoples
Party clubs, Silver leagues and all
other organizations in full sympathy
with the Peoples party, can be or
gained into the Industrial legion for
20 cents, which is simply the cost of
postage and supplies All persons.
male or female, cover fourteen are
eligible for membership, and where
they have no organization the charter
fee is one dollar, which is used to pay
the expenses of printing and postage.
Where the people are utterly unable
to afford to pay this one dollar, they
can send the postage as above and cost
OF supplies. QuartermaSter General
George +. Washburn has perfected a
wonderful plan for the benefit of the
legion. 1t will be known as Article
VII of the constitution. It will benefit
each member, pay all Of his dues, and
net all the money that is needed for
political and educational work. 1t is
simple, easily understood, and has
been thoroughly tried, and we earnest
ly request all organizations to turn
into Industrial legions as rapidly as
as possible, so as to take advantage Of
this plan. PAUL VANDERvooRT,

We have 1000 Legions in line al
ready. We have the additional en-
dorsement Of nearly all the state com
mittees, who all hold for another year.
They see the absolute need of this or
ganization.
Arkansas, after noble fight in Sep
tember, where they gained all along
the line, have issued grand state COM
mittee address and urge the people to
organize Legions and asked all clubs
to turn into Legions at once, and they
are now writing from every county.
Let this example be followed in every
STATE.
Let us inaugurate the great conflict
of 1896 by rallying everywhere into
local legiOns, so we may be ready for
the battle. We have millions to con-
tend with. The enemy are entrenched;
they control both the old parties; they
have allies across the sea. 1t will need
the grandest effort the world has ever
witnessed to win the victory. In our
ranks rest the hopes of a peaceful set
Element at the ballot box. The enemy
are eager to use force. They control
the army and navy and have the money
power of the world to support their
cause. Five hundred thousand battle
worn old veterans who once wore the
blue and gray, are banded together
to save the nation from the hor.
rors of civil war. Once they con-
tended like men in the arena of blood.
Now, thank God, under the old flag
Washington, Adams and Jefferson gave
us we touch elbows to save the nation
from destruction. We want /, 900 brave,
devoted men and women who with a
willing spirit of self sacrifice will
march forward and overcome all OBJ
stacles and plant the banners of the
Industrial legion in every voting pre-
cinct in the land. If this is done the
Peoples party will capture the white
house and congress in 1896. Who will
volunteer? Send for papers and let
all clubs, alliances, farm and labor
orders procure charters at once.
