There will be meeting Of the Peoples
Party to organize a league club on Monday
street. Our old friend and earnest Populist,
Mr.. John H. Gieske, is at the helm SO we
reports Mr. Gieske was the nominee of
the Peoples Party for county treasurer last
fall. He received his nomination while he
was hundreds Of miles away from our city
He made most vigorous campaign. He is
an earnest, enthusiastic and eloquent
speaker and we are glad to welcome such
u men as Mr.. Gieske to the active work in
conducting our campaigns.
We publish the following clipping from
one of the daily papers which is the only
authority we have got of the makeup of the
city committee of the Peoples Party:
THE city and county committees of the
Peoples Party held meeting at Assembly
hall and perfected arrangements for wag-
Ing an active campaign. Upon adjourn
ment the members of the city committee
reassembled and elected ]. F. Krieger chair

NJ. r. Prendergast; Eighth ward A. M

evening at the same hail."
1t is somewhat strange that up to date
with all the hustling that has been going
on organizing the Peoples Party in the city
In which seven wards have been organized
the members of the city committee have
some of the city committee speak up and
let the Populists of Ramsey county know
where you stand? What is the matter?
We want all the assistance you can give us
and we hope to be able to give assistance
to you Let us pull together. We can not
afford to be divided among ourselves while
the common enemy plumbers us. Close up
the ranks and let us work together.
