Third Party Debated at Ocala Convention for Southern Farmers
A National Alliance Convention in Ocala Florida Tuesday will seek to pull Southern farmers from both major parties and form a third party. The Georgia and Southern Alliances fear a split could empower negro supremacy, urging unity with the Democratic Party and opposing any break with Democratic ranks. The Banner editor defends alliance ties, condemns Rep John W Burney for voting for Gordon, and calls for disciplined action to support Calhoun or other pro alliance candidates while warning against divisive moves threatening white Southern interests.
