Committee OF the league.
our league has never had any commuDi-
cation with the Gold Democratic Commit
The telegram was followed by. a letter
from Secretary Mize. in which, referring to
this city August 15-l6. Mr.. Mise said:
The coming meeting of the league is not
N'A>afi'1 " Al sum as
presidents. but more in tn. nature OF a
congress or conference. We do no; desire
delegates who are favorable to Mr. MCEin-
leys imperial policy. W" desire those Cuiy
who are radically opposed to iTn.ria!ism.
The league has 10 knowledge OF the
New York meeting Of Gold Democrats. and
Gn:i-imperialistS. except what is seen in
the newspapers. The New York meeting
was not called by any OF the Anti-Imperial-
iStic leagues and. SO far as / am aware. the
persons who We're most active In II were not
members of any AUti-lmperiaFst League.
Il see no reason why We should not have
as many delegates at the indianapolis con-
E"utIOn as there were at either Kansas City
or Philadelphia"
