Manifesto Issued by People’s Party Leaders at Indianapolis. The People’s party leaders In attendance at the conference in Indianapolis issued the following manifesto: To the People’s party Legislators-elect in Nebraska. Wyoming Montana, California, North Dakota, and other States: We hereby request that nil and each one of you stand firm when it comes to balloting for United States Senators in your respective States. We caution you against fusion with any of the two dominant parties. Make a square fight for our principles; vote for no man unless you know that he will advocate and defend them in the United States Senate. We have arrived at a period in our movement when we must make a square stand-up fight for principles. If the two dominant parties want to fuse on, a candidate to defeat ns let them do so. The sooner they do that the better It will be for ns. You cannot afford to consider the personal Interests of any Individual. The people look to you to carry out the promises made in the last campaign, and unless you do your utmost in that direction you will fail to do your full duty. We Rlso’kindly request that the People’s' partv State, county, and local committees in every State in the Union do all in their power and lend a helping hand to organize the industrial legion. Push that organization into every State, county, precinct, and school district in the land. H. E. Tacbeseck, Chairman. J. H. Turner, Secretary. M. H. Rankin. Treasurer. The conference of the People’s party leaders was in session in Indianapolis for two days. It agreed to the revision of the constitution and by-laws of the Industrial Legion as suggested by Paul Vandervoort. The revision does away with the secret work provided vfor in the original constitution, and the different branches of the organization are all merged into one. The Commander-in-chief announces that he will appoint organizers in every State. For a while, at least, headquarters will be at Omaha, but later may be removed to Indianapolis.
