should properly be taken at the COM
ing national convention or placed in
the hands of the new national COM
mittee selected then.
believe every populist in the ma
tion would gladly pay dues of, say,
a dollar year, payable quarterly IL
desired. Suppose, for example, 25
cents of this dollar be retained by the
precinct club; rs given 10 the county
or parish organization; 20 to the con-
gressional district; Is to the state; 10
to the national division; and to the
national committee. Except, possibly,
the precinct club, each Of the other
committees should have library card
record of every dues-paying member
within the jurisdiction. In this way
every committee charged with taking
a referendum would have a complete
list OF all the dues-paying members
entitled to vote.
1t may be objected that the cost
would be heavy. Doubtless, in the
aggregate it would be. In addition to
having his name upon the rolls of his
voting precinct club, every populist
would have card in the files of each
OF five other committees. A cabinet
drawer holding 1000 names costs
$3.50; the blank cards, 81; and the
printing, writing of names, postage
ana other work necessary surely
ought to be done for $45.5O In 9TH
er words, rs cents per capita would fit
up the card systems for the five COM
mittees. That would be the initial
cost, but keeping up the records would
be very inexpensive.
OF course, these are matters to be
decided by the peoples party when the
two wings are united technically as
well as practically. The Denver con-
ference committee has no power to
decree that such plan shall be ef-
fected. But, as member of that
committee, there need be no objection
to my enrolling the Old Guard of Pop
ulism, because, if the next national
convention should decide upon an en-
rolled, dues-paying membership, the
Old Guard of Populism will furnish
the foundation already laid.
Forty-six Of those who enrolled in
the Old Guard of Populism sent in
lists Of populist names, aggregating
490 in all. Invitations have been sent
these 490 to enroll themselves as mem
bers. hope each person who enrolls
will, If possible, fill out the blank
with ten names of bis populist ac-
quaintances and send it in. Only by
this method can the enrolment grow
rapidly.
The Southern Mercury's publication
of the folder which was sent out, is
bringing results. Mr.. W. M. Sanders,
New Salem, Tex, writes: Il am one
of the Old Guard that has never given
up, and SO will send my name for en-
rollment. There is no hope. Tor the
