Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1895-10-29
And the machine is controlled by
gold bugs. Hence all the dele

parCy is Sucn an OfganlZaLlOn OF
the common people, and it de-
mands reforms on three lines,
money, transportation and land.
Now is there anything really
Objectionable in the principles
involved in the last two planks
that should prevent any free sill
yer republican or democrat from
accepting them? We think not.
Remember, they are mere prin.
ciples, and the measures to carry
them out is a matter for future
consideration. But we venture
to say that every true American
citizenofwhat ever party believes
that our domain ought to beowned
by our own people and not by for
eign syndicates. And that is all
there is to that. Now as to gov
eminent ownership of our trans
pogtation mediums, our platform
does not demand that the govern
ment shall at once buy up, Or con-
fiscate the railroads of the coun-
try, Not at all. Our platform
simply expresses the belief that
government ownership and oper-
alton will be the final solution of
the problem. Who doubts this?
Every country on the face of the
globe except England, has come
to this. If you can show any
other practical method to control
private railroad corporations so
as to do SUBSTANTIAL justice to the
people, the Peoples party will un-
doubtedly adopt it. Until you
can do that, do not object to our
plank on the transportation ques-
ton. The above two planks are
not in issue now, and by the time
that we have settled the money
question, they will, inc opinion,
have in a measure solved them
selves.
The money plank you agree to.
And the Peoples party does invite
corporation, Bro. Lamphere. If
our platform is not what it ought
to be in all particulars. come right
into our ranks, and whatever sug
gestion you can make, to better
it, will be duly considered. NJ
Peoples Party man claims that
our platform is absolutely perfect
and incapable of amendment
We simply hold that tits the bes
: out, and an honest effort in thu
right direction.
Under our election laws tn
organization of new party is
herculean task. 1t is probabl,
too late now to organize a silve:
; party, for the coming campaign
The old party bosses seem to b.
able to prevent such a movement
But the door of the Peoples pal
ty is wide:open for all: No ques
tions are asked as to -previou
party utilization. The people ru

will not have to kneel down to
