The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported in favor of making the
temporary officers permanent. and this
was done. The regular order of BUSH
ness was waived and the nomination of
candidate for congressman taken up.
Hon. 4. p. Freeman arose and made
| the motion that Hon. John Lind be de-
clared the nominee by reclamation. He
SAID that if there ever was congress-
man of whom district had reason to be
proud il was Mr.. Lind. On all questions
of public interest he had distinguished
himself and correctly represented the
second district.
Mr.. Davis, of Nicollet, seconded the
sentiment of Mr.. Freeman. He particu-
larly commended Mr.. Lind's position
regarding the Mills tariff bill.
Mr.. Nelson also seconded the motion
and paid high compliment to Mr..
Lind's record in congress. Every refer
ence to the popular Representative was
enthusiastically applauded and there
was no installing the feeling of the con-
vention.
AS 1t was the sense of the convention
that the matter should be laid aside un-
til the report of the committee on reso-
lutIons had been heard, that committee
came forward and it's report was read by
Mr.. l.. p. Hunt as follows:
| WHEREAS, IL has been and Is the mission OF
the Republican party to inaugurate and carry
| out such needed reforms from time to time in
our social and political relations as are neccs-
/ sary and proper to secure the government of
/ the people, by the people, and for the people
with equal rights and liberty for all; and
/ WHEREAS, The Republican party Is the only
political party that ever promulgated the
principles which form the basis of advanced
| civilization and the general prosperity.
| Resolved That we uphold the doctrine of
protection to American industries and labor
