, is DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM. Hereby reaffirm the Chicago Na- tional Democratic platform, and pledge to it their unswerving support until its principles shall have be- come the established governmental Dolicy.. —5We’ recall with pride the courage and gallant leadership of our late presidential candidate, William J. Bryan. His deyotion to the prin- ciples of free government and splen- did elucidation of those principles in vhe campaign entitle him to the last- ing gratitude of the people. We commend as wise, patriotic and brave the actions of our Democratic senators and representatives in con- gress, and we confidently trust them inall the trying emergencies of the hour to preserve the people’s rights while they uphold the country’s hon- or. In the momentous struggle in which we are now engaged every re- source, moral and material, should be employed in a vigorous prosecution of the war to a triumphant conclu- sion. When our country is engaged in foreign conflict, political partisan- ship should be merged into united and enthusiastic support of all meas- ures necessary for the success of American aris. We rejoice in the skill, bravery, martial exploits and fortitude already exhibited by our gallant soldiers and sailors. We demand that those who may survive shall receive adequate recognition of their valor, devotion aud sacrifice, and we pledge to them that they shall not be forgotten at home while they are tighting our battles abroad. Those who -may fall in the tight shall be ever held in that grateful remembrance traditionally characteristic of the American people. We hereby denounce monopolies and trusts as dangerous foes to the peace, well-being aud prosperity of ube people. We tind in the public affairs of ! Minnesota a_ political condition such us to cause in the minds of thought- izeus graye apprebeusions. tL us’ bas Ueeu our progress in population aud wealth, we declare that such growth would have been much greater hid there been at all times an Open, honest and impartial administration of our public affairs. Let facts speak io prove this as- | sertion true: 1. During the peviand of Repuidican control our people have seen tbe: r vast heritage of public lauds —agricui- | tura), timber aud miteral, aa cup in itself—frittered away abou price redu ous Wea COurpared with | their truce value. 2 They acres Lhus vuiaiied Wrong fury Witu- held from taxation.» - 3. They have seen the, farmers, toilers and producers of wealth com- pelled to Lear this iberedsed burden of taxtion. 4 4. They haveseen them subjected to the most mercitess -exactions of railroads, warchouses, elevators and other favored corporations. ‘These corpurations spi liy favored have in return controlled legislation, dictated nominatious and furnished the money to carry elections, ‘he polic, tule G fave seen uiilioas of of this class has been to divide and ruin, then conbine, divide and ruin again. 5. Our banking institutions, established to care for the deposits of the people, have not had their condi- tion of solvency vr insolvency ex- amined by a competent bank examin- er. Even where reports of insulven- cy were made they have been with- held from public view. Througha wrongful combination at’ the state capitol millions have beeu lost to our people, while the good name of our state hasssuffered abroad. 6. The ottices of the clerk of the supreme court, oil inspection and sur- veyors of logs have been allowed to demand and receive exorbitant fees, amouuting to about $50,000 annually, which, if at all proper should have gone into the public treasury. In- stead . thereof, they have been used for the most part to perpetuate “machine rule.” 7. Our railroad and warehouse has failed to fully pro- Unjust discrimina- commission tect the people. tions and exorbitant charges in rail- | way rates demand proper regulation hy this commission. of the state equal and reasonable charges for transportation should be faithfully maintained. The members of such commission should be no longer open vo appointment by the governor but should be subject to election by the people. 7. Weare even now confronted by aspectacle more humiliating. The present administration, assuming to act under the honored party name of Greeley and Lincoln, attempts to pro- vide for its succession and uses there- for the public machinery of the state. The favored corporations name the public officials execute, and thus it is farcically proclaimed that the people of Minnesota are to be allowed to continue in the enjoyment of “good government and sound money.” In view of all these and many other wrongs inthe administration of our state affairs, this convention now ! our promises | STATE OF in every portion | pledges itself to the work of thorough and complete reform. It demands: 1, That the public lands remain- ing unsold shall be sold only at their fair value. 2. That all public institutions shall be managed with prudence and economy, 3. That we shall not lose the fruits secured by the decision of the supreme court in the land tax case. By that decision 8,500,000 acres of un- used railroad lands will be added to the tax list. Theceincreased valua- tion will be from $15,000,000 to $20,- 000,000, annually. We demand that in the threatened appeal to the United States supreme court the legal department of this state shall per- form its full ;duty that the people’s rights may be protected. 4. Ofstill greater value, perhaps, is the decision of the supreme court in the Steener rate case. 1t estab- lishes the principle that the basic charges for transportation should be no more than a fair income on the cost of reproduction of the plant. This principle should be maintained atall hazards, and applied in all matters of public franchise. Both these decisions and many others amply attest the fullfilment of made in 18)2 in refer ence to the judiciary. 5. Regarding agriculture as one of the substantial foundations of pros- perity. We look with interest upon all forms of diversified farming. 6. We favor the election uf United States senators by the people direct. 7. We condemn with severity all partisan appointments to the judiciary. 8, We favor legislation looking to the construction and maintenance of good roads. 9. We recommend that within reasonable limitations the principle of direct legislation be applied. 10. We faithfully promise that if entrusted with the administration of affairs there shall be atall times wise, fruga! and competent government. To the end that all these wrongs may be righted and all these reforms effected. The Democrats of Minnesota, deep- ly impressed with the solemnity ov their cause and actuated only bya stern sense of duty, now call upon all the people, i clive of former political afiliations, to join with them in one grand and heroic effort to bi down “the rule rings” and to redeem our state from its long and oppressive misrule. | Order far Hearing ant Notice of Appli- cation for Appointment of Administrator.
