The Bryan Club held meeting
at their club rooms last Friday
evening. The Populists of Logan
came in body and joined the club
also many of the Prohibitionists or
rather Nationalists as they are
now known in this state. With
two meetings of the club the mem
bership now numbers 1913 in Logan
alone, no solicitations having been
made. The following constitution
was adopted.
Believing as we do that the
rights of the masses are paramount
that the present financial depres-
sion and social and industrial dis
tress are the direct result of the
bad financial policy long persisted
in against the unvailing protests
of the people; that change for the
better can only come with change
of that policy, and that the full and
complete restoration Of the money
of the constitution and the unre-
stricted free coinage Of gold and
silver at the legal ratio Of 16 to1,
will bring with it relief from the
prevailing industrial paralysis, ,and
the restoration Of fair measure of
prosperity to the whole people of
the country;
Therefore: We thereby associate
ourselves together and invite the
cooperation of all who believe in
these announced principals regard
less of past party affiliations to
unite with us for the attainment of
these ends, and for the purpose of
securing unity ofaction, ordain the
following constitution tor the gov
ernment of the organization now
to be formed:
