FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL—F. D. LARRABEE. Persistent, aggressive, brilliant, re- sourceful and one of the brainiest and most successful practitioners before the Minnesota bar, Frank D. Larrabee, FRANK D. LARRABEE. fhe Minneapolis nominee of the De- mocracy for attorney general would give the state of Minnesota in its le. gal department an administrtion of justice such as the state has needed for a long time. He has beaten the most powerful corporations in the state in important cases. His fame in the celebrated cases against the Gre.t Northern railroad in the Hennepin and Wright county jury bribery prosecu tion, in which at least two Republican ofcials came off with smutty repute tions, has become a part of the s Tegel ry. Porn in New York, in 1856, of Ene- lish and Dutch ancestry dating back to the days prior to the American revolu- tion, Frank Larrabee has been a Min- nesota citizen for twenty years of hard and successful legal practice. He has coped with the ablest lawyers in the Northwest and successfully fought the most powerful interests. He is 2 stu- dent of causes and principles; an ard- ent disciple of the Democracy of the Declaration of Independence, of | ferson and Jackson and of H George. steeped in the foundation principl the cause. In his analysis of a pro tion he is keen, cold and clear as crys- tal; in his advocacy of a cause he is full of fire and sympathy and cnthu- siasm. He is a popular and effective eampaigner and a pillar of strength for a party which proposes to enforce the law of the state and nation without fear or fa and against the m powerful and aggressive interests t trespass upon the public rights. FOR STATE TREASURER—HAL.. VOR L. SHIRLSY.- ry He is a fighting Democrat, of To a descendant of the Vikings, Min tesota Democrats have gone to secure f watch dog of the state treasury. Born in Norway forty years ago, Halvor L. Shirley has been thirty-three years in the Northwest, the major por- tion of that period on the fi But for twelve years, ever since the union of the Alliance and Democracy in Wilkin county in 1890; Mr. Shirley has served the public in the office of register of deeds of Wilkin county, from which position no Republican has been found with sufficient strength to displace him. He is still the proprictor of. a large and prosperous farm. He js likewise the president of the Merchants State bank of Breckinridge and in that ca- pacity has had financial experience that will come in good stead in his service of the public as state treasurer. In business experience and ability, in character and fearless integrity, in his associations with the hard-handed rm. HALVOR L. SHIRLEY. tillers of the soil and in his ideals of business honor and business efficiency, Mr. Shirley is an exceptionally well equipped man for the important fiscal position to which he has been nom- inated. FOR CLERK OF COURT—GEORGE : P. JONES. Born in a Rock county loz house only twenty-five years ago, George Philip Jones is the youngest nominee eyer placed on a Minnesota state ticket. But he has the physical and mental stature of a Hercules; he is a university student of the law; he is eloquent and hardy and able and brave, and he is thoroughly equipped for an industrious and efficient admin- istration of the position to which he lhas been nominated. Ever since the state convention of 1900, the name cf “Jones of Rock” has been familiar in_large gatherings of Minnesota Democrats Wherever pa- triotic eloquence of a high order has GEORGE P. JONES. been in demand to arouse and enthuse the throng. He is a power on the cam- paign stump, and he is popular and strong whatever the duty assigned to him. He is a six-footer of Welsh de scent and Yankee training and in- stincts. His basis of political thought and action is the American declaration and Constitution. He is one of the staunchest of patriots and his appeal to the young voters of our commen- wealth to remain true to American tra- ditions and vote for the purest and tru- est Americanism, will be an effective factor in the state campaign. FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER— JAMES M. BOWLER. Major Bowler is the Grand Array pil- lar oi the Lemocratie ticket--a pio- ueer Indian fighter, a descendant of the Puritan stock of the old state of Maine, the son of Revolutionary he- j Jd. M. BOWLER. roes, and a citizen of Minnesota since the adoption of the state constitution, forty-four years ago. He enlisted in the old First Minneso- ta regiment when Fort Sumter was fired upon and at the expiration of his term of enlistment re-enlisted in the Third -Minnesota. His bravery, pa- triotism, educational qualifications and fidelity to the cause within a year gaused his promotion to the rank of captain, and later to the rank of major. At Vicksburg, at Little Rock, at Mur- freesboro, as in the Indian battle at Wood Lake, Minnesota, where he com- manded the company of Renville Rang- ers who bore the brunt of the battle— he saw hard and patriotic service. From the close of the war until his removal to Minneapolis in 1901, he re- sided on his Renville county home- stead, where he was a_ successful farmer. He was the Democratic-Peoples can- didate for lieutenant governor in the campaign of 1898 as the running mate of John Lind, and was appointed by Governor Lind as the dairy and food commissioner of the administra- tion. His knowledge of business af- fairs, bis identification with the pro- ducers of Minnesota for thirty-five years, his study of the transportation question, and his strong practical judgment and courage in the handling of all affairs that come to his hand, make Major Bowler the right man for the people to elect to the office of railroad and warehouse commissioner. He believes that the state of Minneso- ta has ample power to regulate the railway corporations which it has created, and he will never surrender to corporations the powers of the state, as has been done by Republican offi- cials within the past two years. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. First—We declare our allegiance to the principles of Democracy as set forth in our national Declaration of Independence: as especially taught by that great exponent of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson; and as reaffirmed In the Jatest national convention of the Demoeratic party, Second—We further express our admira- tion for and grateful appreciation of the great ability, singular disinterestedness and untiring zeal in the service of bumanity of that great Jeader of the Democracy ard most fearless and eloquent champion of the rights of man, William J. Bryan. Third—We congratulate the people of the United States that their latest democratic spirit and sense of fairness have been suf- ficiently aroused to compel thé present ad- ministration to so far keep faith, however reluctantly, with the people of Cuba as to withdraw our troops from their island and allow them a measure of self-government, and we condemn the Republican party for its fatlure to fully comply with the con- } gressional resolution passed before the @ec- jaration of wer with Spain, It Is with desp- est shame and regret} that, through the apostacy of the Repubitcan party, the peo- ple of the United States are, by our im- perialistic’ policy In the Philippines; placed. before the worid in the false position of re- pudiating the most cherished fundamental principles of our government, and our brave citizen soldiers are forced to dis grace our flag and army in obedience to or- ders from thelr superiors. We endorse and commend our Demo- cratic congressmen for the position taken by them on the Philippine question and-de- mand that our government declare Its in- tentions and purposes in regard to the Fil- ipino people and grant them thelr inde- pendence. Fourth—The power of the modern trusts fs au appalling evil and a monstrous men- ace.~ We would revoke the tariff benefits they enjoy; we would refuse the subsidy they seek; we would pass appropriate leg- islation for the control of their affairs and to secure publicity, and we would enforce the laws against them, sparing uone. REPUBLICAN PARTY’S POLICY CONDEMNED. Fifth—The Republican party openly adyo- cates the policy of class legislation, con- ferring special privileges, benefits, subsi- dies, bounties and tariffs. Excessive riches and abject poverty that corrupt and debase character are ¥ of the same social disease—special privilege. And we emphat- {eally reaffirm our belief that the applica- tion of the Democratic principles of equal rights to all and special privileges to none 1s the only remedy for existing Inequalities and wrongs. Sixth—We deplore the existence of a spirit of lawlessness which finds expression even In murderous attacks upon the chief magistrate of the republic, and has brought about the death of a recent Incumbent of that exalted office. Seventh—We favor the postal savings bank and the income tax; we oppose goy- ernment by injunction. ; Eighth—We would correct the imbecile and unbusinesslike policy that throttles our trade with Canada and Cuba at the be- hest of special interests. Ninth—We take this opportunlty to pay heartfelt tribute to that statesman and popular leader, the heroic standard bearer of our cause during three hard fought cam- palgns, Jolin Lind, His place in the history of the Northwest and In the hearts of the people of all classes is seeure and the im- press of his character upon the political life of this state will endure for all time. His term as governor will be known In the history of our commonwealth as that fn which every executive department—rallroad and warehouse commission, public exam- iner, labor commission, adjutant general, superintendent of public Instruetion, Loard of equalization and grain inspectlon—was bronght to the highest standard of effi- ciency and In every respect represented the people. It will be known as the administration which rednced the state tax levy while’se- curing large increase of revenue from. tax- dodging corporations; that evt down freight bills of Minnesota farmers $400,000 per an- num by reducing raflway rates on grain; that reduced both the- state cost and trust price of binding twine; that raised the standard of Minnesota wheat through just and efficient Inspection an'average of one grade on the entire crop; that ordered a 25 per cent reduction in raflroad rates on tron ore and for the first time in years exacted of corporate power in Minnesota the same obedience to public laws as is required of the humblest citizen. We pledge a continuance of this enlight- ened policy, efficient administration and fidelity to the people when the candidates of the Democratic party are again sum- moned to serve the state. t STATE MERGER LAW SHOULD BE ENFORCED. Tenth—The state law forbidding merger of competing railroads should be enforced, and that in every case; and the state’s neg- lected power to regulate rates should be exercised as the prime remedy for discrim- {nation and extortion. Eleventh—The readjustment of our tax laws is an absolute necessity with which the present administration has proved Its Incompetency to deal. We acopt the clear and intelligent pro- gramme submitted by the Democratle mi- nority In the late session; the taxation of non-resident corporations equally with do- mestic, the adequate taxation of incomes’ and we favor the amendment of the Con- stitution to that end. Twelfth—We fayor the municipal owner- ship of public service corporations, the prin- ciple of direct legislation and home rule in local taxation. Thirteenth—-We believe that the interests of labor can hest be conserved by organiza- tion and we demand for every man who Ia- bors an equal use of all natural opportuni- tles to the end that no man shall take the proceeds of another's labor without full compeusation therefor. : We are In favor of the obseryance of a general eight-hour "workday, and that all printing done for and snpplics purchased by the state of Minnesota shall bear the union label and pledge our support to or- ganized labor in its efforts for securing the same. Fourteenth—We would correct the errors in the law establishing the state board of control. Fifteenth—We recommend to the voters the adoption of the proposed law, whose submission to the people was secured by the persistent efforts of the Lind adminis- tration, for the increase of the railroad gross earnings tax. Elxteenth—We favor the election of Unit- ed States senators by direct vote of the people, and the election to the senate only of men pledged to that reform. VAN SANT’S ADMINIS- TRATION DENOUNCED. Seyenteenth—We condemn the failure of the present state administration to en- force the law against the merger of the Iron Range railroads. We condemn the surrender of the state railroad and warehouse commission to the United States Steei trust In giving up the state’s jurisdiction over railroads wholly within its borders and abandoning the just rates ordered by the preceding commission, to the prejudice of the state's interest In the school lands. Elghteenth—We condemn the failure of the board of contro! to conserve the efll- ciency of the state institutions, and we ab: hor the theory that_ the public schools?” which are fundamental to the. life of the republic, are charitable Institutions. Nineteenth—We condemn the administra- tlon for converting the state binding twine plant inte an auxiliary of the cordage trust. Twentieth—We condemn the Minnesota congressmen for their failure to promote legislation to strengthen the powers of the Interstate commerce commission, and we re- gret that subserviency to privileged greed should compe} our United States senators to vote for the Iniquitous-ship subsidy.
