IMPORTANT MEETING.

Reform Press and Industrial Legion at hansas City. The most important part of the educational work of the Peop.e’s party is done through the Reform Press. I.i fact, without the Reform Press the whole movement would be a flat failure. The Populist papers cf the country circulate over two million ccpies every week. They are depended upon by reformers for truthful information, for inspiration, for doctrine, for reproof, for enthusiasm, investigation and nearly all campaign work. Voters are educated, speakers get pointers from them, and honest congressmen read the home paper to find out what the people want. Great responsibility rests upon the publishers of these papers, and it is hoped that every reform editor in the United States will be present at Kansas City, Feb. 22, 1895, prepared to offer suggestions and ready to learn of others. The plan of campaign for 1896 will be discussed, and much other important work performed. Newspaper men will readiiy see the necessity of getting together and we hope that they will not be content merely to look on through the enchantment of distance. Come and let us reason together. The Industrial Legion which meets at Kansas City on the same date as the Reform Press is an organization that should be found in every township of the United States. It is expected that the constitution will be revised at this meeting and the organization.be placed on such a substantial footing that the work of organization will go on more rapidly than ever. Over 1,500 recruiting officers have already been commissioned and new commissions being sent out every day.
