Cllll to I'opullst* 1**110(1.
The middle-of-the-road Po pulists of
Georgia have decided to put out can
didates for governor and state house
officers and Chairman S. It. McKnight
of the People’s Party executive com
mittee has iisued a call for a state con
vention in Atlanta on April 10th.
The decision to hold a middle-of
the-road convention, it is understood,
is the outcome of the split in the na
tional Populist committee at its session
recently held in Omaha, where the di
vision resulted in the selection of one
city for the convention by the fusion
Topulistß and another City by tho niiu
uie-oi-the-road Populists. Prior to that
time there was no evidence that the
Populist party would be divided, but
since then tho Populists in several
states have issued calls for state con
ventions for . tho purpose of selecting
delegates to one convention or tne
other.
Following is the call issued by
Chairman McKnight:
Tho Populists of the state of Georgia
aro hereby called to meet in state con
tion at the capitol building in the city
of Atlanta on Tuesday, Aprill 10th,
(second Tuesday), 1900, at 11 o’clock
n. m., for the purpose of electing del
egates to the Middle-of-the-Road Pop
ulist National convention, which
meets at Ciucinnatti, 0., on Wednes
day, May 9, 1900. And to nominate
candidates for governor and other
state house officers, and to attend to
such other business as may properly
come before the convention.
The representation shall be two del
egates from each county for each rep
resentative in the lower house of the
Georgia legislature.
Let the county chairman of each
county and tho Populists and reform
ers everywhere throughout the state
go to work with a will and make this
the largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing we havo ever held in the state.
We urge those counties that have not
yet done so to call meetings at once
and make preparations to attend the
convention in large numbers. If we
expect to w in this groat battle we must
prepare to make a vigorous fight in
every county and precinct throughout
tho state. Bo go to work at once.
This February 21, 1900.
S. J. McKnight, Chairman.
J. E. BoDENnAMEit, Secretary.
