Bryan. We congiatuhite the people of the United States:that their latent democratic spirit and senso of fairness. have been sulliciently aroused to compel the present administration to so far keep faith, however reluctantly, with the people of Cubu as to withdraw our troops from their und and allow them a meusure of self-government, and we condemn the republican party for its failure to trully comply with the congressional resolutions passed before the declaration of war with Spain. Nt is with deepest shame and regret that through the apostasy of the republican party. the people of the United State: imperialistic poliey in the Philippines, placed belore the world in the false position of re- pudiating the most cherished fundamental principles of our government, and our brave citizen soldiers are forced to disgrace our flag aud army in obedience to orders from their superiors. We indorse and commend our democratic men for the-position takén by them Philippine question, and demand that our government declare its intentions and purpose in regard to the Filipino people and grant to them their independence. ‘he power of the moderu trusts is an ap- puiling evil aud 2 monstrous menace. We would revoke the tariff benefits they enjoy; we would refuse the subsidy they seek; we would pass approp islation for ths control of their affairs and to secure publicity, and we would enforce the laws against them, sparing none. Lhe republican party openly advocates the policy of class legislation, conferring special privileges... benefits. bounties, laritf's. Excessive ric ct poverty that corrupt and debase character are results of the same social disease—special privilege. And we emphatically reaftirm our belief that the application of the democratic principles of equal rights to all and special privileges to nou the only remedy for existing in- equalities and wrongs. We deplore the existence of a spirit of law- lessness Which finds expression even in mur- s upon the chief magistrate of republic, and has brought about the death of a recent incumbent of that exalted es 2. > favor the postal savings bank and the ; we oppose government by in- income junction y uld correct the iml ie and unbusi- policy that throttles our trade with 4 and Cuba at the behest of special interests.

John Lind. llis place in the history of the northwest and aud in the hearts of the people of all classes js secure and the impress of his character upon the political life of this state will endure for all time. Mis term as governor will be known in the history of our common- wealth as that in wh every executive de- partuent—railroad und warebouse commis- sion, public examiner, labor commission, in- Surance commission, dairy and commision, adjutant general, superintendent of public instruction, board of equaiization aad grain inspection—was brought to the highest standard of efficiency and in every respect represented the people, fv will be known as the administration which reduced the state tax levy while secur- ing lurge increase of revenue from tax-dodg- ing corporations; that cut down the freight bill of Minnesota farmers $4000.000 per annum by reducing railway rates on grain; that re- duced hoth the state cost and the trust price of binding twine; that raised the standard of Minnesota wheat through just and efficient euspection un average of one grade on thy legitimate ‘American interest. and it is the violation of that law, on the other hand, that to-day makes the American people, and'mort of all the American workingmen, the political and industrial subjects of corporate control, When the so-called “infant industries” have become million-dollar and billion-dollar trusts; When they have risen to the svature and power that they not ouly overeome foreign competition ‘ubroad, but defy the American people at home; when, protect- ed by the tariff laws enacted for their protection, ,they muke use of them to tax the American people 25 per cent vo 100 per cent higher than they levy upon the consumers abroad; when, protected by these tariff laws, they oppress labor und even deny it the common right of organizuti when the taxes levied by them upon the necessaries of life far exceed in volume and hardship all the direct taxes levied for the support of the governmeut; when, in order to maintain this unjast tax power, they exercise all the power which capital and business influence can command to dominate congress and the national administration, and now efter an era of the highest and most liberal protection ever known to the history of nations, they announce through the leaders and mauagers of the party in power that the tariff cannot and shall not even be revised—we submit, in the name of Democracy and in the name of the people regardless of party or class, that it is time that the government ceased to be their shelter and instrument of extortion, and that the trust, like the common citizen, submit to the universal principle of “equal rights to all and special privileges to none.” “PAUL SPRAGUE.” J.

SMITH. “The Grand Old Man of the Minne- sota Democracy”—ten years mayor of the city of St. Paul with yearly in- creasing pluralities, twelve years coun- ty treasurer of Ramsey county in the state’s early history, six years its rep- resentative in the house and senate of the state legislature, and three years president of the city’s common council —Mayor Robert A. Smith is the strong- est and most popular citizen in the political life of Ramsey county and the city of St. Paul, and one of the best Known and beloved citizens of our commonwealth, He is a Hoosier by birth and by col- lege training, but he has been identi- fied with the development of Minneso- ta ever since the territorial days of 1853, five years before Minnesota was a state. He came to us with a sheep- skin. and a knowledge of law, but the old territorial executive, Governor Gorman, made him state librarian and the people have kept him in the public j harness in position after position of trust, until after fifty years in the pub- lic service he finds himself again elected mayor of St. Paul by the larg: est plurality ever. In 1896 Mayor Smith thought to en- reer ROBERT A. SMITH. joy a vacation from public toil and de- clined to run for office. The result was, that the Republicans elected a mayor by over 3,000 plurality that year _and by over 1,800 again in 1898. Old “Bob” Smith was then forced by the St. Paul Democracy again into the har ness, and he rewarded their faith and confidence by victories in both 1900 and 1902. In 1894 he was elected by a plurality of 811. In 1909 he was elected by a plurality of 1,280. In 1902 he was re-elected by a plur- ality of 1,819. 2 And now in the fall of 1902, at the climax of a’ career of public service and at the height of his political strength and popularity, he accepts at the hands of the Minnesota Democracy the honor of a place side by side with Leonard A. Rosing as his colleague and running mate to win for the peo- ple the control of the state and the de- thronement of an inefficient and ‘sub- servient Republican machine. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE— SPURGEON ODELL. Born on Minnesota soil, educated iff Minnesota schools, after a college preparation a teacher in those schools, six years the clerk of court of a Min- ‘nesota county, forty-two years of age and a brainy and broad-minded, ag- gressive and progressive man of pub- lic spirit and patriotic activity—Spur- geon Odell is an ideal candidate for the office of secretary of state. He has. the education, the intelligent training and the clerical experience to give an administration of that office fully up to public requirements, i That he is a vote-getter of energy and resources is shown by the fact that he has won out in three cam: paigns against strong Republican can- wuatcs 18 a county. He is a Lincoln-Jefferson type of Democrat, bivad and liberal in his views of government. The People’s Party of the state in their admiretion of his patriotic traits tendered him suongly mepuoucad SPURGEON ODELL, their nomination also for the position to which he was named by the Demo- crats. But resting in the canvietion that tn the Democratic organization lies all hope of the reform forces achieving victory over Republicanism at the polls, Mr. Odell frankly stated his views to his well-gshers in the third party and‘expressed to them his decision to abide under the fiag of De- mocracy, where he is now one of the ablest and most popular captains. FOR STATE AUDITOR—ALBERT G. LIECK. The Teutonic pillar of the Democrat- ie ticket is the nominee for state an- ditor, a business man of twenty years experience, although only thirty-eight years of age, and specially fitted for the duties of auditor by reason of four years’ service as auditor of Steele county—Albert G. Lieck of Owatonna. Minnesota voters Sand taxpayers ALBERT G. LEICK. know of Mr. Lieck as a member of the state board of equalization under the administration of John Lind and as the chairman of the committee on fran- chises, which doubled the assessed valuation and taxes of the street rail- way company and -of other franchise corporations. That fearless and invaluable service to the state, coupled with his previous training es county auditor of Steele and as business man, together with the sturdy traits inherited from his hard- working German parents, combine to make Albert Lieck the right man to audit the accounts of the common- wealth. His sterling character, clean habits, energy and industry, his courage and his business efficiency are all that could be desired in a strong dnd popu- lar candidate for the position to which the Democracy have nominated him.
