Republican State Platform, 1898.
There, you old republican, who was
whipped into line two years ago by
that international agreement" dodge,
don't you see the point. Instead of
as formerly declaring that the repub-
lican party by tradition favors bimet-
alism, these latter day gold bugs de-
clare by resolution that the "agita-
ton of free silver tends to debauch
the public morals" There is now no
road open for you consistent with old
republican principles but to follow
Teller, Towne, Lind, and hundreds OF
others who two years ago were forced
by their convictions to leave the old
party which is now controlled by in
huences which have their most proper
representatives in such men as Mark

Bro. Boon of the Fergus Globe
accuses the Willmar TRIBUNE of
dealing harshly with the "mid-road-
ers." Why, bless your heart, Hal
dor, every honest popu]ist has our
profound respect, even if he differs in
opinion as to the best policy of the
party. We have noticed that the diff
ference in opinion of the populist who
is in favor of cooperation and the
one who is in favor of amalgamation
is not very great, when personal fl gifts
and hireling disruptionists are out of
the way. But how can there be peace
when handful bolt and do their Ut
most to thwart the will of the MAORI
ty. If they want to be left alone, let
them leave off knitting the majority.
We would like to devote our entire
attention to fighting the common foe,
but when mutiny appears and guerilla
bands are organized to pour in fire
into our TANKS it is too much to ex-
pect us to take it all good naturally.
If they want peace, let them be peace
full.

THE CONGRESSIONAL PLATFORM

The following platform of principles
were adopted by the peoples party
at Crookston last Thursday. They
have the true ring, and the candidate
selected stands squarely on them with
both feet. We commend them to the
careful attention of every voter:
The peoples party in congressional
convention assembled do hereby en-
dorse and approve the national peo-
pies party platform adopted at St.
Louis in 1896.
We believe trusts threaten to per-
manently destroy the national pros
perity and we pledge ourselves to eve
ry effort for their abolition.
We are opposed to government by
Injunction, as we see therein a peril to
the liberties OF the people.
We are unalterably opposed to gold
monometalism and we demand the i'm
mediate restoration Of bimetallism at
the present ratio by the independent
action of this country. We are OPP
posed to the retirement of the green
backs, the issue Of paper money by
the national banks, and the issue of
| interest-bearing bonds while millions
of public money lie idle in the natio nal
treasury.
We demand the establishment OF
postal savings banks, 10 order that the
common people may have safe and
convenient repositories for their earn.
ings.
The transportation of property and
persons being necessary to the devel.
opment of our resources and to the
prosperity of the people, we demand
such laws, state and national, as will
secure to all persons and places equit.
able and reas enable rates.
We believe in the justice of an in.
come tax as a means of compelling
aggregated wealth to bear it's just pro.
portion Of taxation and if necessary
we favor constitutional amendment
legalizing it's enrichment.
! We favor the enactment of free
homestead law and the establishment
of a national board of arbitration anG
we condemn the republican party for
the violation of it's pledges in regard
to these measures.
We believe in direct legislation an6

senator's by direct vote of the people
We heartily sympathize with the op

Our opinion is that Long is just
waiting to see what Lind will do. Mr..

When Johns letter of acceptance ar.

of the Alliance when he found that it
had been captured by schemers.

The populists have nominated a

vote for him. The states interests

"We further recommend practical
Legislation which shall arrange for
better highways throughout the state.''
The above is the only sentence in
the republican state platform devoted
to issues in the state. The last legis-
]ature began to work in the direction
of "good roads," and as a conse-
quence we have Bonded Road No. l,
in Kandiyohi county. The danger in
passing lot of ''road" legislation is
seen just in the application Of the law
we have on that Foot Lake bridge. 4

The nomination of Eustis is fortu-
nate for Lind's chances of success.
It has been charged by Donnelly and
others that Lind has had pull with

effectually disposes of that Islander.

through the rank and file of the re-
publican party. They are tired and
sore at the utter disregard their form
er leaders have shown to the demands
of the public. What grain of comfort
can such a constituency obtain from
the platform adopted? You farmers
of Kandiyohi county, who so determ-
inedly and earnestly demanded a
change in purpose of your leaders,
are you satisfied merely with the SUBJ
stitution of one man for another? Did
those who nominated W. II. Eustis
denounce machine rule? No, they re-
solved that 'To Gov. Clough and to
all members of the present state ad-
ministration for their fidelity to duty
aud efficiency in the public service,
we express our obligations" Not
one word for the farmers of the state!
Not one word of promise for relief
from railroad and elevator extortion,
or the encroachments of corporations
The whole struggle res olved itself to
simply this: Van SAINT was pledged
to keep the old appointees in their
places. Eustis was pledged to ap-
point other men to do the same work.
The men who didn't have appoint
ments and wanted them were more
numerous than those who had them,
hence they carried the day.

RINGDAHL FOR CONGRESS.

The peoples party congressional
conventional held at Crookston last
Thursday unanimously nominated P.
M. Ringdahl of Polk county as candi-
date for congressman. A wiser and
better nomination could not have been
made. Mr.. Ringdahl has demonstrate
ed his ability as a legislator in the
state senate. He has a commanding
presence, is good forcible speaker,
and what is best of all, he is true to
the people. Their demands have re-
ceived his careful attention in the po-
sition he has held, and to-day there is
not man in the state more feared by
the monopolistic rings in this state
than p. NJ. Ringdahl of Crookston.
Mr.. Ringdahl, with a becoming mod
esty, would have preferred to remain
in the state senate, but when called
in this way by unanimous sentiment
of the people to accept the nominal
for congressman, he would not refuse.
The convention was the most harmon
ious and enthusiastic one tie people
party Of the district has ever held.
All that is necessary in this district
to elect our man is to give him the full
party vote. Mr.. Ringdahl is a man
that ought to and will have the hearty
support of every peoples party man
and silverite in the district. A dis
trict that gave Bryan majority for
president ought not to be represented
by a "gold-bug'' in congress. A pull
altogether, boys, and Eddy will not
know that he was in the contest.

More VoIunteers.

The announcement IS made that the
President is seriously considering the adj
visibility of calling for more volunteer
troops. No information is furnished as to
what number he thinks should be called
for. In political circles the impression pre-
walls that il may be as small as 5000, or
as large as 10000. 1t is understood that
the bill 20 be introduced into Congress TO
authorize the President to call for addi-
tional volunteers is already partly prepar-
ed.
The prospect for a call for additional
volunteers does not look as If the President
expects the war to come to an end within
the next few days. The. truth probably is
that he is apprehensive of European com
plications when we reach the point Of
settlement with Spain. 1t Is well under
stood that the Continental Powers do not
regard with favor our possession Of the
Philippine Islands. That possession, they
think, threatens their plans in respect to
China and the great commerce of the far
East. They are also apprehensive of an
alliance between the United States and
GfSdt BTlIdlu-dn dllldnCe WHlCn NOulu
greatly increase the Importance of the
Philippines to US.
Under the present call for volunteers, to-
gether with the immune regiments and
the authorized increase in the regular
army, we shall have an army OF 100000 men
within a very shoTt time. This is a very
large army, but not nearly so large as We
shall need if we get into trouble with some
of the Powers of Europe.
In view of the possibility of European
complications it would be wise to have a
reserve force ready for any emergency
that might arise. 1t takes months to
make seasoned and disciplined troops out
of raw recruits. If more volunteers should
be called for they would be put into camps
and given a thorough training, so they
would be an effective force if they should
be needed.
Even if we should have no trouble with
any one of the European Powers the
chances are that we shall need Gnany sol
diers in the Philippines, in Cuba and in
Porto Rico. We have entered upon a war
which has already broadened beyond our
expectations, and which may tax our re-
sources greatly. We should be prepared
for whatever the situation demands.
