the mask Of democracy that they might

Resolutions Adopted.
After Senator German had concl lde
speaking the following resolution wa
| adopted
Resolved. That we pledge cur supper
| to our nominees for President and Vic
President and for Congress. The issues O
this campaign affect the welfare of all tn
Leople of all classes and conditions, an
apply with special significance to the mer
camille and mechanical, laboring and agrl
| cultural masses. The conditions eXistin
are as unfavorable to these classes as the
well could be, and no prospect of reliabl
, promises for any improvement is to b
. found in the continuance of the polio
which holds throughout this entire coun
try. to make the rich richer and the poo
poorer. We, therefore, desire, with all tn
fcrce we can legitimately exercise, to con
tribute to the election of that great tribun
of the people, the defender OF their right
and institutions, William Jennings Bryan.
The other speakers were Senator Stewar
Mr.. Moss and Mr.. A. A. Lipscomb.
