The first speaker on behalf of the la boring
men was J. p McGaughey, chairman of the
labor conference committee He said he
was here as the representative of the con-
ference held Sept 1. He would read series
of resolutions adopted at that conference,
and he wanted it understood that it was an
amalgamated series of resolutions and not
the special sentiment of any one branch of
result of careful study.
He then read the resolutions which were
published in the PIONEER PRESS Sept 2.
Throughout his reading he was given much
applause; the planks on equal wages fol
women with men, the question of the dispo.
sition of the public domain, the "a ilroa6

HEAR THE SAGE
When he sat down the cries for Donnelly
were terrific. On behalf Of the Patrons of
Husbandry and the Farmers alliance, he rose
and spoke:

wish to call yonr attention to the pleasure that
we feel in the hearty welcome that you have ri

He then reviewed his arguments in the
past on this subject, and continued:

held by corporations other than railroads, to
pay taxes and throw them open to the pub
lie He was applauded at every point of his
speech.
R. B. Langdon's face was study while
Donnelly spoke. He twisted his nose a nd bit
his lips; wrinkled his eyebrows and alter
nately chuckled and smiled; his foot tapped
nervously on the floor. and he glanced
askance at the delegates when they applauded
the condemnation of the railroads. Senator
Window followed Donnelly by asking that
the convention listen to committee Of tenn
perance men, which was enthusiastically
granted They advanced to the platform in
