Forming at Cincinnati which Hopes
to Catch All Siiyerites

Cincinnati, Ohio, March IA new polit-
ical party is to be organized here this
week. The general conference began
session Of two days at the Odd Fellows
auditorium today. The new national or
ganization is to be called The Union Re-
form party and it Will seek 10 amalgan-
axe the Silver Republicans, the Populists,
the Social Labor party and the Liberty
party. in fact all of the minor parties ex-
cept the ProhbitioniSts. In response 10
the call sent out by Chairman R. S.
Thompson and Secretary NJ. A. Neff there
were seventeen states represented in the
national conference. No credentials were
required, as all VINO favor the referendum
principles of direct legislation were admit
ted TO the ground floor of the auditorium.
The promoters Of the proposed amalgam-
alton hope TO have their party Organiza-
ton so perfected as 10 become factor in
the presidential contest next year.
The conference was called TO order by
Chairman R. 5. Thompson. OF the Ohio
committee, who read the call and invited
all those in favor of the initiative and ref
erendum to seats in the convention. The
following temporary organization was then
reported and adopted: Chairman. A G.
Elchelberger, altimore: secretary, c. II.
Lockwood. Vincennes, Ind; assistant sec
rotary, Gorge B. Shire. Albany, y. Y.
After a brief speech by Chairman Eich-
elberg. a motion was made to have the
chairman appoint the usual committees.
This was opposed as inconsistent with the
initiative and referendum principles Some
wanted everything considered in open con-
ventiOn. The opening session was devoted
TO this discussion. The previous question
family stopped debate. The usual commit
tees on credentials resolutions. etc. were
appointed by the chair and each one alp
proved of the convention. The commit
tee to formulate a plan of organization
for the new party was selected by call
OF the states. with one member from each
state. a recess was then taken.

on resolutions submitted a report, which
was adopted, declaring in favor OF the in
itiative and referendum and the impera-
tive mandate. and inviting all persons
who believe in the system advocated, 20
join the Union Reform party. The reso-
Iutions recite that the legislative bodies
OF the country no longer represent the
people, but have come under control Of
corrupt influences. with the result that
legislation is now in the interest Of cor
rupt few against the interests OF the
voiceless mass. and that the people are
governed by laws which they did not en-
act and cannot repeal.
permanent organization was eaected,
with R. s Thompson, Of Springfield, O.,
as chairman and Asa Taylor. OF Omaha,

the floor for - use of the national ex-
ecutive committee. OF which President
