National Committee Meeting

Lincoln, Neb., July 6, 1903.-To the
National Committee of the Peoples
Party of the United States: Inasmuch
as political events seem to be taking
form and are shaping themselves for
the next presidential campaign, we be-
lieve that the course of the peoples
party should be defined. Therefore
acting upon the earnest demands Of
members of the national committee
and state committees, we have con-
cluded to convene the national COM
mittee for considering all matters of
interest comir. before it. The reason
for fixing the time and place herein
named, is that on the 9th Of July, the
great conference is to be held at Dem
yer, Colo, consisting of representa-
tives of the reform forces of the coun-
try and looking to a union of the
same.
In the past some differences in po-
litical policies have arisen and for a
time tended toward a division of the
peoples party, but conditions have
changed and it now seems that there
is no reason for the existence of two
organizations. We believe this to be
an opportune time to remove every
impeachment that prevents men who
hold the same principles from acting
il. unison. We stand for blending their
efforts in one concerted action and be-
lieve this should be the war cry from
ocean to ocean: UNION OF THE RE-
FORM FORCES OF THE NATION,
r. arching under one banner with one
official head. With an united army we
will wage war upon evil and wrong.
The peoples party presents its dec
laration of principles first made at
Omaha and afterwards on other occa-
sions as rallying point for all who
desire to bring about government for,
the people, by the people, and who de-
sire the overthrow of the gigantic
trusts that are threatening the exist
ence of the republic.
With the peoples party united as 1t
will be and with the democratic and
republican parties divided as they are
sure to be, there will be found wait
ing many hundred thousands, yes,

country who are willing to join forces

AS abuses of every class and char.

PIE begin to feel the effect and realize
that trusts are preying upon the

ter stating that he preferred to take a

ascertain whether a committee meet
ing should be called, and knowing
that that would make it in possible to
reach the committee in time to at
tend the conference, and being i'm
pressed with the great Importance OF

lining my duties, and sincerely trust
that this action will meet with the ap-
Hroval of all and result in great good.
Therefore as vice chairman of the
national committee of the peoples
party hereby request that all nem-
bers of the national committee Of the
