The following was offered by Judge
Nethaway of Saltwater, which was
also adopted:
"a great calamity has befallen us;
homes, property and lives destroyed.
Destitution stares us in the face. Char
ity is knocking at the hearts of gener-
GUS people. Hinckley, Sandstone, Mis-
sion Creek, Pokegama, four thriving
Minnesota villages, of the surrounding
country, have been wiped from the face
of the earth, leaving hundreds appeal
ing for aid. AS
Therefore, be it resolved by the dem
ucratic state convention, this. day as
sembled, that it tenders its deepest and
heartfelt sympathy to the hundreds OF
homeless people.
Resolved further. that the chairman
of each delegation solicit from the del
egates present such sums of money as
each may be able to contribute, the
same to be turned over to the relief
committee at Pine City by the chair
man."
