the northwest and Of this magnificent
valley when the Hon. Knute Nelson
In that address referred to, In that grave
hour of trial and temptation, turned his
back upon the monopolists and bidding
them sad and honest adieu, joined the
ranks Of the people and took up the dem
ocratlc tariff reform. I say, he was great
er then, sablimer then and that hewould
have left a greater name to the history
of his country and his children had he
died at that hour than if he were to-day
elected president Of the United States,
with the intellect and conscience of 4
years ago with which he repudiated their
doctrine but upholds to-day.
1t would not be proper for me to state
the political motive which dictated that
nomination. I have the right however,
one which any republican stump speaker
dare not mention in the open light of day,
to look into the face of an honest and IN
telligent man and say, it was not an
American reason. and I belieye that the
American citizenship of this state when
say the American citizenship, / mean
not only those who are born beneath the.
stars and banner of the land of the free.
are American citizens, but equally Of
those Who went or came to this land from
another ocean and baptized in the rights
of American citizenship and who are hon
est, manly and Independent and who can
not be deluded and jeered by the paltry
political trick which was felt in the St.
Paul contention By the ringleaders of
the republican party Of this state.
| do not believe, my friends, that any
tariff reformer tricked out in one OF Nc
Kinley's suits can be elected goyernorof
Minnesota this fall. But one word more
and | have done, and beg your pardon
for taking up SO much time. The only
thing the republican press charges us, or,
the speakers charge us, is the Infamous
crime Of being young men; they say we
are .skids", we are '.boys'. We are kids
and we are boys. We are glad Of the at
tack and SO far as am concerned, per-
sonally concerned as to being young, I
can only say that man is notresponsi5le
for it he can't help it; it is the only fault
that man is sure to outline if he lives
long enough. 1t will be long time, my
friends, before the rank and file of the
republican party of Minnesota under the
present leadership and present methods.
can be tainted by putting young men in.
to nomination for any political Office.
They don't want young men, they don't
want a man whose political record is at
variance With their laid plans; that is
what has nIade the corporate noneyed
and monopolied republican party Of the
state Of Minnesota Of to-day.
But ny friends, even though we may
be boys and kids to-day, with the sup
port Of the people Of Minnesota and un-
de- tt!ae generous sunshine Of November
wewill be buds no longer but or that
glorious day blossom out q full-bloWn
political rose of victory. An instead OF
being kids without horns as we are to.
day, when November comes with your
kind assistance, regardless Of political
parties, on the .sth day of November, we
will be the full-grown stalwart goats
with strong and sharp horns that viii
butt the republican party out OF the state
house in ST. Paul!
