Coxevites Plan National Movement In Des Moines
A meeting in Trades Assembly hall drew many laboring men to join a new ecumenical movement led by the Olney brothers at 507 Mulberry street. They claim associations exist in San Francisco Omaha Denver Salt Lake City Ogden Minneapolis Chicago St Paul Cleveland Columbus and more, aiming to form a national body to push Congress and state legislatures. They say the movement will grow rapidly, invite poorer classes, and sweep aside the two old parties, with a national convention planned locally in two or three days and 640 Des Moines members already enrolled. General M Weaver and his friends are said to be in the background.
