; subserviency that does violence to ones
idea of American manhood, to the .dlcta.
/ ton Of the great corporate magnatcs Of
the northwest.
\ The foregoing are a few of the many
reasons which led the committee to be-
lieve that the issue now is the same as
j it was two years ago, viz: ssShall the
i people or the corporations govern this
commonwealth The forces which op-
posed "Hannaism" in 1895 oppose 'sHan-
naism' today. The party which sup-
ported that obnoxious principle then,
supports it now.
Since the election of 1896 this CON-
mittee believed it its duty to proceed
upon the following lines: First, to or
gsnize with as much thoroughness as
possible the democratic party of the
state of Minnesota; second, to studious-
ly refrain from interfering to the slight
est extent with the organization of any
other party; third, so to conduct its
work that future cooperation between
independent parties, uniting, however, in
opposition to the republican party would
be possible.
| And for the purpose Of enabling the
duly authorized delegates Of the demo-
cratic and peoples party respectively to
freely, fully and deliberately decide for
themselves whether or not such CO. oper-
alton is possible and desirable, the date
for the democratic state. convention was
liked at the same time and place as was
fixed for the convention Of the peoples
! party of this state. s.~
In conclusion this committee express
es its deliberate conviction that, no mat
ter whom the nominee of the republl ian
party may he, he will be merely the pup
pet of the men who are responsible for
all the evils already referred to. To
remedy such evils is an herculean task
at best, but is impossible without brave
and thoughtful action upon the part of
the masses. z=-

local, as we'll as general, interest at the

president full authority over the militia

The constitution gives congress the pow
