A call signed by Gen. Rice and John Davis of Kan 48 and about seventy five Alliance members calls for a national conference in Cincinnati on February 28 to rally for a united struggle in the political conflict ending to decide whether the citizen or the dollar rules. The Alliance debated adopting the St Louis platform of 1889 and adopted a compromise on railroad and telegraph ownership by the government with a trial period followed by full ownership if relief is not achieved. An amendment requiring all Alliance members to support the St Louis and Ocala platforms or face suspension was adopted, and the platform was unanimously approved by state calls.
