"HeH we WroJe our leader. last
week, we supposed that the Mac
donald scheme, to Great daily organ
for the Peoples Party, having been
exposed by US, and repudated by our
candidate for governor, would have
been dropped, and that .'order would

mistaken: and that this paper must

Here is the circular now being sent

To the Populsts Of Minnesota and the
Northwest
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
1t is desired by this circular to in
form you Of efforts being made to es-
tablish Peoples Party Daily PAPER in
81. Paul, Minnesota, and to solicit
your earnest cooperation and support.
The efforts are by able, fearless and
honest men who have strong financial
backing and are beyond tie reach of
corporate interest to control and cor
rupt: but all realize that all the assist
ance which the masses Of the people
can give will be required to success
fully carry on the unequal contest fo

The paper is to be issued for the
cheapest price possible, not to exceed

which will bear the unqualified en-
dorsement Of the Peoples Party Exc
cutive Committee and have other
proofs Of the reliability Of the paper
for the warfare it will undertake. In
place of the weekly issue usually made
up from dailics for country circula-
tion, it is probable that the daily issue
will be mailed, once week or twice a
week, as desired, for patrons who do
not have daily mail facilities. Thus
it will be within the means Of all TO
pledge and give some patronage. But
it is not intended to interfere in any
manner with the city or country
weekly papers which are already doing
such noble work in their field.
An estimate return pledge card is
herewith enclosed to have filled ONT
and returned as soon as possible, and
in return therefor there will be sent
back to the person undertaking to fiji
the pledges blank subscription lists.
with terms to agents. which will be
sufficiently liberal to induce energetic
work
No time can be lost in commencing
this publication. The state campaign
is already commenced, and the expect
ed has happened in the old parties
uniting in their efforts against the
Peoples Party, whose waving banners
of victory terroriZe the mons ter aggre-
cations of corporate greed which have
so nearly destroyed the country. To
refute their ISLANDERS, expose their rot
tenneSs and uselessness. and to up-
hold and encourage our people, calls
for quick and courageous action. 1t
is not doubted for moment that the
true and loyal masses in and out Of
the different organizations will rejoice
at and be glad to encourage these ef-
forts to give them daily journal, the
equal of any in news and facilities and
attract home features, and at the
same time fearless advocate of the
interests of the people.
II is proper 10 sag that this ciculor is
from the same source and 10 The same I'M
port ds q recent aaq,i,y sent OW from the
office of Farm, Stock and Ione lNnne-
apois.
In sending this appeal to the
members and officers of the various
labor and other popular organizations
Of the Northwest, including the Peo-
pies Leagues, Farmers Alliances,
Knights of Labor, American Railway
Unions, Trades and Labor Councils
and organized labor generally, as well
as the Peoples Party organizations, it
is assumed that for once the indus
trial masses are in line, shoulder to

and, if so, success is certain.
Very respectfully,

Appended to this circular is the fol-
lowing appeal from the state central
committee of the Peoples Party of this
state.
From the Chairman OF the State
Central Committee.
At the recent meeting of the State
Central Committee, the proposition
to establish the above mentioned Peo-
pies Party paper, together with the
financial ability OF the proprietors and
political character of the gentlemen
who were to edit the same, was sub
mitted for the consideration of the
committee. All agreed that the great
need Of our party, in the large cities
service, was daily paper which would
be a fearless and unequivocal advocate
of our principles and candidates, and
that there was room for many such,
and they gladly welcome them all.
While they did not wish to detract
from the weekly papers and hoped
they would receive a liberal support,
they wished that all who patronized
the daily papers should have an op-
portunity to subscribe for. or pur-'
chase, paper which was not the mer-
cenary hireling of corporate monopoly. :.
After considering this matter the
committee adopted the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the State Central
Committee Of the Pc ople's Party have
confidence in the integrity and honor
Of Messrs. Westerfield, Garfield and 9TH
ers, who propse starting daily paper
in st. Paul. in their fidelity to the
same solely in the interest OF the Peo-
ple's Party"
I therefore cheerfully recommend
this new daily paper to the favorable
consideration of the members of the !,
Peoples Party and all friends OF true
reform. We need sucl. Il paper to re-
fute the misstatements that are daily
put forth in cur cities, by our enemies
