IOWA FRIENDS ARE TAKING ACTION
Cali Tor State Silver Conference In Des
Moines June g.

Call for State Silver Conference in Dss
Moines June 8.
Des Moines, Iowa. May ia call for
a state silver conference in this city
June b has been issued by about 40
Wen known democrats, headed by ex
Lieutenant Governor Bestow. The call
says:
III can not longer be doubted that
concerted effort is being made by a
minority, but powerful minority, with
IN both the republican and Democratic
parties, to foist on the country the class
doctrine of gold monometallism, as dis
tinguished from the genuine bimetal-
ism contemplated by the constitution
and advocated by democracy since the
birth of the party.
This movement is backed primarily
by the money lenders of Europe and
secondly the class interests in this coun-
try that have grown up under vicious
legislation. Their forces, comparatiyely
few in number, but working in perfect
harmony for a central purpose, have
perfected their plans to control the tenn
porary and permanent organization of
the state convention to be held August
Z. If the plans of single gold standard
forces are not bravely met and defeated.
the party IN Iowa Will be enrolled under
the banner of European financiers and
the Wall street bankers. Let us face
the issue like true democrats and ac-
quit ourselves like men. giving our ad-
versaries no cause for just complaint.
but let 1t be a fight to the finish. There
is no time for shrinking; no time for
silly compromises on vital issues, the
welfare of the party for years to come
Is It stake"
