To the Populists of Indiana, Greet
ing: With the advice and approval OF
Hon. A. p. Hanna, state chairman ct
the fusion committee, and acting UNI
der the directions of the joint cali OF
the two national committees, issued
from st. Louis, do hereby call a
state conference, to meet at the Occl-
dental hotel, Indianapolis, Ind, Thurs
day, April %, 1904, at 10 o'clock a. m.,
for the purpose of selecting ten dele-
gates at large and ten alternates to
represent Indiana in the peoples party
national convention, to- be held at
Springfield, ILL.,, July 4, 1904, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
president and vice president of the
United States. Such further business
will be transacted at the state confer
ence as may properly come before the
meeting.
congratulate you upon the fact that
all differences between the rival pop
ulist organizations have been adjusted
and that fusion with either OF the Old
parties will not again be engaged In.
All voters in Indiana who affiliated
with the peoples party in any past
campaign are cordially invited to at
tend the Indianapolis meeting, and
act with us in future; and along with
them we will extend glad welcome to
all voters who have not heretofore
acted with us but who believe in the
principles Of populism as set forth N
the Omaha and subsequent peoples
party platforms.
The need of the time is a strong,
aggressive, patriotic party of real,
honest, earnest and intelligent oppool-
ton to the republican party. The re-
publican party is the open and avOwed
representative and champion of spe-
cial privileges and stands for organ
lied greed and selfishness as against
equal opportunities and the preCepts
of the Golden Rule.
Earnest effort, by able men, has been
made in the last II years to convert
the democratic party into reform CT
ganization of real opposition to pIu-
| tocracy, but these efforts met signal
and complete f0ilure. Monopoly and
graft controls, absolutely and COM
pletely, the democratic party as it
does the republican party, and this
year New York will dictate the action
of the democratic national convention.
The peoples party is, has been, and
will be a party of the people, stand
| ing for the masses as against the
classes. We appeal earnestly and con-
fidently to all Indiana voteIs who a. e
dissatisfied with existing conditions in
the old parties to come and go with us
this year.

by but 1876 per cent, or less than the
increase of population. Set off against
this relative decline is the enormous
increase of certain divisions of the
proletarians: draymen, hackmen and
teamsters, 40 per cent; packers, ship
pers, porters, helpers, 1870 per cent;
statesmen and saleswomen, 131 per
cent; and stenographers and type
writer's, 236 per cent
In manufacturing also the same
thing is shown. One of the most strik-
ing instances is that of agricultural
implements. Decade by decade for fifty
years the number of manufacturing es-
adjustments Of this sort has declined.
and the number of wage-earners in
creased, SO that now, although there
are but about half as many plants as
in 1850, there Is an increase of 600 per
cent in the number of workmen when
the increase in any of the subdivisions
or the middle class Is less than the
increase of population, it means. In
all likelihood certain degree of I.s-
placement; but when 1t is infinitesimal

anti-Masonic party, which met in
Philadelphia in 1880. The opposition
to Jackson, amalgamated under the
name of National Republicans, held
a convention in Baltimore in Decen-
Der, 1881. There were $50 delegates
present. Henry Clay was nominated
for President and John Sergeant for
Vice President. A committee of mott
f1cation was appointed, a platform
was adopted denouncing Jackson's ad-
mlnistration and central correspond
ing committee was named for each
State, which has since developed into
National Committee. This convention
was the prototype of the present Ma
tional Convention.
Jackson's nomination by the Demo-
Gratis was foregCne conclusion. Van
Buren, wanted the Vice Presidency,
but there was doubt as to his ability
to obtain the necessary votes in the
Electoral College. SO Jackson's
kitchen cabinet manipulated State
Legislatures to demand a National
Convention to nominate q candidate.
The convention was held in May, and
Van Buren, was nominated for Vice
President. This convention established
the unit rule by which the majority
of the delegates from each State in
Democratic Conventions still vote the
minority. This convention also adopt
ed the two-thirds rule, which is still
in force, requiring the votes of two
thirds of the delegates to nominate a
candidate for President or to daterm-
inc any question connected Herewith.
The campaign of 1892 established the
national nominating convention as
part of the permanent machinery for
tn. election Of q President.

out of hearing of the train whistle, in
quiet and prosperous country neigh
borhood. 1t has a membership of
more than three hundred. The house
is a beautiful one and exactly adapted
to the needs of the church. The Sum
day School is one of the finest we
have seen and the teachers are capa-
bic and consecrated to their work. The
salary paid the pastor is a decent one,
though they are fully able to pay three
times as much. The day we were pres
ent was Orphanage day and the con-
gregation very cheerfully contributed
500 to the Orphanage--a thing that
would have knocked the breath out
of the average country church. There
is a fine school hard by the church
which is the pride of the neighbor-
mood. A multitude of bright
children attend, and men and
women that the world needs
are being made. 1t is hearten-
ing to visit community like this. 1t
gives one a better hope for the future.
But here is the kernel OF the sltua-
ton: Twenty-Five years ago, we were
told. the community was notorious Tor
it's rowdyism. Chicken fighting, drink
ing and carousing were the paStifnes
of the people The young men were
and there was nothing attractive about
the neighborhood. Much of the credlt
for this changed condition is due 10
Rev. w S. Olive. There were others
it is true, who laid strong ana loving
hands on the community and changed
it's course, but he bore conspicuous
part in this moral revolution ana ne is
still guiding and directing public sen
timent and. like a shepherd, leads
his flock into greener pastures. Inc
results of the fine influence or TINS
great church are seen in the fields.
The people are doing better farming
than ever and the waste places are
blossoming like the rose. How much
is man like these gentle pastors
worth to a community? VINO can
tell? The tax books record something
of the financial gain, but who can
compute the worth of moral manhood,
or the value of noble aspirations ana
ideals or the outreachings of the SOUS
of men? 1t is now delightful anu
restful and happy people who worship
God in the beauty of holiness and hold
out the helping hand to the needy ana
the weak.

TO BEAT HARTMAN
IN MONTANA COURT
Oregon Short Line Will Be
Used by Hill interests to Pre-
vent Him Getting Control of
Northern Pacific.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. April 6.-Laws OF
Western States prohibiting parallel llnes
from owning or controlling each other.
and which were so vigorously attacked
by the Northern Securities Company
when the merger was being formed,
have suddenly been found very advan-
tageous to merger interests, inasmuch
as they may be employed to prevent the
Hartman people from getting control OF
the Northern Pacific.
Laws which once threatened to break
up the combination are to be employed
in protecting 1t.
This somewhat paradoxical situation
came to light to-day when II was
learned that Attorney-General Dono-
van. OF Montana. who had hastily been
summoned to st Paul by the Great
Northern interests, was importuned to
use the strength OF the Montana laws
to prevent the Hartman interests.
through tho Oregon Short Line from
getting control OF the Northern Pacific.
Attorncy-General Donovan was clos
eted with the Great Northern officials
for some time.
1t is supposed that as soon as he re-
turns TO Montana he will prepare an
action bringing into play the Hontnna
laws prohibiting such consultations.
There are one or two other Western
States which have similar laws. and
the legal departments of these states
will be interrogated MS to their willing
ness to act.
That Montana has been asked to take
the matter UP Is confirmed In seem
ngly official statement by the Great
Northern interests as follows:
The questions OF the legality OF the
purpose outlined in the petition will be
found In the preliminary battle, and Is
admittedly n ground on which the
company will oppose the petition. The
right of the Oregon Short Line to ac-
quire a majority interest In the North
ern Pacific will be questioned since,
under the laws of Montana and other
States 10 which the western line Is sub
ject, there Is grave doubt that II could
legally hold the Northern Pacific II 1t
80 desired. These laws, the company
will contend, prevent the oregon Short
Line from either owning or voting the
stock which It demands"
