secure reform Of the tariff to meet the
pledges of the party to the peopl e.
While we recognize the tariff bill ju st
passed as a great improvement on t he
Mckinley bill. and relieving the people
from some of its oppressive features. we
pledge the nominee of this convention
to work and vote for still greater re-
duction In the tariff.
We favor an amendment to the con.
stitution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
We favor the adoption of a postal
telegraph service by the government.
We favor the government assuming
the management as it already has the
actual ownership OF the Northern Pa
cific railroad.
A sound, elastic and ample currency
is essential to the public welfare.
We demand such legislation by con.
gress as shall provide and maintain such
currency.
We believe that the proper functions
OF government are to maintain its integ-
rity, administering justice to its citizens
and to foster no Industries, but to leave
every individual citizen free to act as
he Wills, limited only by the equal
right OF every other citizen to act with
equal freedom.

front of the hall at this point of the
proceedings, and stated, in a voice
which shook with feeling, that he could
not, under any circumstances, accept
the nomination. His friends, he said.

Mr.. Robinson rose and apologiZed for
having used his name without warrant.
Z. A. Stevens came to the front with
the statement that Attorney Bartleson

and the convention roared out its ap-
prOval of the selection of the nominee.
Mr. Erickson made speech of accept
ance, referring to the issues of the cam.
paign, and remarking that he would 90
