Call for a
Union Party.
POpullsts, Single Takers, Prohibition
lists, Socialists and Others Asked to
Come Together to Work for the
Initiative and Referendum.
CONFERENCE AT CINCINNATI.

The Union Reform party of Ohio, COM
posed of all the reform parties organ
lied in that State with the exception of
the Socialist Labor party-is branching
out for a national organization. The fol-
lowing call has been issued for a ma
tional conference at Cincinnati, March /:
Headquarters State Executive Commit
tee of the Union Reform Party of Ohio.
Springfield, Ohio, December 10, 1893.
To the Citizens of the United States:
The discomfort of the people, evident
on every hand, calls the attention Of the
thoughtful to investigate the causes
thereof.
The events of the past few years have
demonstrated very plainly two things:
First, That there is need for reform
in State and national legislation along
many lines.
Second, That these reforms cannot be
secured as long as the power to legislate
is vested in the members of State and
national legislatures, over whose actions
the people retain no control
The power Of money and influence in
completely controlling legislation has
been so thoroughly demonstrated by
experience that it is folly to continue
the attempt to secure honest legislation
in the interests of the masses, until the
people take into their own hands the
legislative power.
This change cannot be accomplished
through the old political parties, as they
are under the control of men who desire
the power and profit which arises from
our present system of vesting absolute
power in the hands of members of the
legislature. The adoption of direct legis-
lation would deprive the political mana
gers of this power and profit, and there
fore while the old parties may sometimes
make favorable mention Of the improved
system, it Is certain that they will never
consent to it's adoption
The organization of new party for
this express purpose, therefore, becomes
an imperative necessity. Only in this
way can the people obtain control of the
State legislatures and Congress and Sc
cure the needed amendments to national
and State constitutions.
The adoption of this system OF direct
legislation will give to every citizen equal
right and equal opportunity in advocat-
ing that reform or reforms as he con-
siders to be paramount.
No person in joining such move
ment is called on to abandon or com
promise any principle he now holds, or
to accept or endorse any principle to
which he is opposed.
AL persons, therefore, who believe in
the principles of self-government can
consistently and without compromise
of principle unite in such a party for
the purpose of securing to the people the
power to make their own laws.
Acting on this principle a number Of
Independent citizens who had previously
been members of all political parties, met
in Columbus, Ohio on May 25, 1898, and
organized the Union Reform party on
the basis Of direct legislation and for
The Advocate and news., 1899-02-01


ever is true in regard to a small number
will not be changed II the number is in
creased.
Suppose a community composed of
II voters who we will call A, B, c, d, u,
f, G, H, l, ] and X.
Suppose A, B, C, D, f and f favor
free silver.
"That G, d, r, T, G and H favor gov
ernment ownership Of natural mOnopo-
lies.
THAT c, D, E, F, and favor prohi-
bition.
"That A, B, c, F, G, I, j and X favor
direct legislation.
"G, H, I, ] and X oppose free silver.
"a, B, l. and X oppose government
ownership
"A, b, C, D and X oppose prohibition.
I'D, e and H oppose direct legislation.
"Now 1t will be seen that each of the
three legislative measures has the sup
port of majority of the voters, but you
could not unite all OF these in any one
party on those issues because in doing
so some would either have to support
what they opposed or fail to support
what they favored
Suppose they tried broad platform
containing all three panks.
"Such a platform would get the sup
port OF G, d, e, and F, but that would
not be enough to eject and the others
would all oppose some one of the three
planks.
Suppose a single issue platform on
free silver was adopted. c. d. Il and f
would be shut out because the platform
contained only free silver and there
would only be A and B left to support 1t.
Suppose it was a single platform on
government ownership. G, d, E and F
would again be shut out, because 1t con-
tanned only government ownership and
only G and H sustain it.
Suppose 1t was a single issue plat
form for prohibition. G, D, = and F
would be shut out and only and J left
to support 1t.
80 that with either a broad platform
or a narrow platform, the attempt to
carry all or any Of these issues would be
a failure.
"And this does not take into account
the fact that even II success were at
tained under our present system there
would be no certainty that the desired
law would be enacted.
But suppose that all those who ia
vored direct legislation were to agree to
get together and work for direct legls-
lation. There would be enough to carry
it and they would have so large a ma
pority they would probably be able to
force it through in spite of few un-
reliable legislators.
"The free silver men In joining In this
effort would not have to abandon any
principle, for in securing direct legis-
lation they would be securing for their
issue fair chance before the people.
"The advocates Of government owner
ship would not have to abandon any
principle, for in securing direct legisla-
tion they would be securing for their
issue fair chance before the people.
"The prOhibitlonists would not have
to abandon any principle, for in secur-
ing direct legislation they would be Sc
curing for prohibition a fair chance be-
fore the people.
"Ahd after direct legislation was thus
secured:
The six free silver men would vote
directly for free silver and thus enact a
free silver law.
"The six advocates Of government
ownership could vote directly for that
system and thus secure 1t.

That the salary Of the Superintend-
