and combinations seeking TO control o.
unduly enhance the price of commodities

| effective means to protect our farmers
against the monopoly of the twine trust.

classes are entitled to all proper and
necessary protection, and therefore we are

and ell other transportation companies
aad all corporations or individuals per-
forming any public service or elnpioy=
ment, ere an?elabIe and subject to public
control and we favor the enactment and
enforcement of such laws as will compel
them to render efficient and approved

out favor or discrimination as to persons
or places.
Ninth = The pensions awarded by a
generous nation TO the disabled and un-
fortunate veterans Of our late war, theiy
widows and orphans, should be given

not grudgingly and with restraint We
deprecate the parsimonious, super
critical and harrassing attitude of the
present Democratic administration in it's
treatment Of the benefciaries of our PEN
sion laws.
Tenth-The Republican party has al
ways advocated equal rights and priyil-
eges for all people without any distinction
whatever as to classes or individuals. We
believe in the fullest rights Of labor and of
laboTing men, and are opposed to class
privileges of all kinds. The American
worlingmen are the producers of our
wealth and greatness, and we are and
should be solicitous for their welfare and
happiness We earnestly advocate such
legislation as will secure the peaceful ad-
justment by arbitration Of differences
arising from time to time between employy
ers and employees, and condemn unquaH-
iiedIy capitalists and others who refuse to
settle such differences along these peaceful
lines The wanton destruction of prop
erty, whether private, corporate or public,
should be prevented and mob violence
suppressed at all hazards. We
stand for law and order for the punish
ment of crime, and for the lawful redress
of all wrongs.

this state about 100000 acres of railroad
lands which are not held or used for
railroad purposes and donot contribute to
the gross earnings tax or to any state or
LEGAL tax. we demand that said lands be
taxed by the ordinary method of direct
taxation, and that such tax be an addition
to the present gross earnings tax upon
railroad property.
Twelfth-We earnestly and empha5ically
urge the adoption Of an amendment to the
national constitution, extending the term
Of office Of the president of the United
States to six years, and providing that no
person who has been president Of the
United States shall thereafter be eligible to
the same Office.
We therefore request congress to propose
an amendment to the national constitu-
tion that will speedily accomplish this
end,

the wise, economical and statesmanlilze

of Minnesota under Governor Knute
Nelson.
