When it came to offering resolutions,
T. 0. Barrett, who run for lieutenant
governor on both the Prohibition and
Alliance tickets two years ago, called
on the government to reserve and
manage in the interest of the people the
national forests in all non-agricultural
and non mineral lands in the public
domain" The state convention of the
Peoples party was requested to insert
plank in their platform demanding the
calling of convention to revise the
state constitution at the earliest moment.
This resolution was fathered by eX-
Labor Commissioner John Lamb. A.
Edwards then proposed the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved. That this convention Of the
Peoples party of Hennepu county warns all
members of organized labor and the general
public in sympathy with the movement here
represented. against being misled by the
nominations made by the Republican ma
tioral convention last week, which were die
lated by the great corporate interests, led by
the president of the New York Central rail
way, aud backed by the oficeholders of
President llarrison's administration. And we
especially call the attention of the people of
this country to the fact that the nominee
for vice president WhiteIaw Reid, has
been for years the avowed and bitter enemy
of organized labor, that the difficulty i'll the
New York Tribune office seems 10 have been
patched up for the express purpose OF making
the nomination Of this man acceptable. but
that 1t comes too late TO win for him and his
associate Oh the ticket the support of self
respecting organized labor men.
The convention then adjourned. and
in the afternoon the district convention
was called to order for the purpose of
electing delegates to the national con-
ventiOn of the Peoples party to be held
in Omaha, July 8. After considerable
skirmishing, the following were elected:
A. 5. Edwards, Jonas Howe, DR.. E. +.
