CALL FOR MEETING OF NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec 10, 1903.-The
national executive committee of the
peoples party OF the United States, in
session at Memphis, Tenn, this 10th
day of December, 1903, begs leave to
congratulate the earnest reform vot-
ers of the United States on the rapid
spread OF those great principles of
human government enunciated in the
Omaha platform of 1892, and for which
our organization has steadfastly COLI
tended, since the beginning.
The political history of the past few
years has only served to strengthen
our position, and to draw the atten-
tiOn of patriotic voters to the prin-
ciples involved IL our political creed,
until 1t Is today generally accepted
theory that government ownership OF
monopolies is better than monopoly
ownership of government, althougf
through the manipulation OF political
machines by the monopolies now con-
trolling the public utilities of the
country, there has been but little leg
islation looking to public ownership.

form existing abuses. the most inn

stroy our organization. II has also
taught that divided reform move
ment can accomplish but little. While
In the past honest differences OF opln-
ion have divided our ranks, and lent
consolation To our enemies and the
despoilars OF the people. we recon-
mend as the future policy OF our party
that reiormers OF all factions bury
their minor differences and unite on
the essential principles that will re-

devil was hard after every one of them
and not ten feet behind.
All of this applies, of course, to the
masses. There are some who ride
about in automobiles, who take things
in different way, but they are the
few.
This old pop wanted to 90 up in
that region where the desolate wastes
of what was called Harlem existed a
few years ago. A Third avenue train
was advised by policeman. Mount
ing the long stairs | at last reacned
the station. But there seemed to be
something wrong. For some min
utes no trains came along. A pleasant
faced and magnetic sort, OF man
walked up and down the platform.
Presently he got into conversation
with a boy. He patted the boy on
the head and said: Here is an nom
est face This boy will make the
right kind of man. See what nose
he has! That indicates character "
In an instant this pleasant-faced man
was surrounded by a crowd, all OIL
whom wanted to shake HANDS Win
him. All at once rush was made Tor
the cars which had come along. 1he
rnsh was like that of a lot OF Texas
steers stampeding upon some sudden
fright. However, every one took II as
the regular thing. Once On the cars
the pleasant-faced man began to talk
rather loud. Among other things he
said: Il tell you the whole lot Oh
them get hardly enough to keep soul
and body together" The cars halted
for a second or two and rusn Was
made for the doors. There. was
fiercer stampede than when we got
on. One man said: Let us go with
him" and all who were standing near
the pleasant faced man rushed of with
him. A man standing near said:
"That is Murphy, the Tammany lead
er." o.
There are miles of canons and CHI
dwellers up where the Harlem wastes
were a few years ago, and the canons
and cliffs are being extended out lar
ther and farther all the time. All these
people have votes. They are all The

national committees have been made,
now that Vice Chairman Edmisten

Chairman Parker's call vas made sew
eral weeks ago. In order that new
readers of The Independent may re-

before, both calls are printed this

But the matter does not stop with
the mere formaiities completed. Both
calls were simply FRO forma, inasmuch
as the Denver meeting settled both
time and place. The duty now to be
