commander OF the Industrial Legion.
and is deyOting his time to lecturing

Rev. Mr.. B"tkin is this week lectur.
ing and organizing the Industrial
Legion 10 Usage city, and tonight he
will speak at school house about ten
miles from Burlingame.
In conversation with State Journal
reporter about his organization, Mr..
BOtkin said: MANY people have a
mistaken idea about this organization.
When the Industrial Legion was first
organized at Memphis in 1891 it was
brought into existence as a secret
society and Paul Vandervoort, ex.
cOmmander-n-chief OF the G A. r.,
although he was not present, was
elected national commander
"VandervOort when notified of his
election Immediately replied that he
would not accept an office or become
a member Of any secret political or
ganizatiOn and from that time to this
there has not been any secret work in
the order.
THE Industrial Legion is to the
POpulist party what the Republican
League is to the Republican party.
Our meetings are all open but as the
political club Of any party must be-
we try and not let the opposition know
all our plans until we are ready to
carry them out.
"In my letter to the Journal few
days ago in which | mentioned hoes

which we are arming our members
omitted one very important side arm
that is Coins Financial School,
"Our people are arming with Coin,

use it,"
