The report was adopted.
AS the committee on resolutions was
not ready to report, Mr.. l.. A. Whit
ney and Chairman Frye made ex-
temporaneous addresses, which were
enthusiastically received.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported. Aug. Forsberg read the re-
port:
We, the Peoples Party Of Kandiyohi county
unwavering faith in the principle of Populism
the inalienable right Of the citizens to life,
liberty, and property equitably vouchsafed to
every person, rich and poor alike. We be-
lieve that the laws should be so made and so
administered that every man willing to work
should receive u just and equitable share of
| the products of his labor and that the sharp
and unscrupulous person should have no legal
way Of depriving the worker of the greater
| part of his productions.
It is the invariable verdict Of history that
whenever one party has been in power for
long period it attracts to itself those who de-
sire to use the law-makng power for oppress-
| ing their fellow men. Such has been the re-
| suit in Minnesota. The corporations have in
trenched themselves behind the republican
party, and has captured it's organization for
their uSe Witness the turning down of the
Justices of the supreme court who upheld the
Anderson law.
We invite the voters Of this county to help
| redeem the state by electing for governor a
man who is fearless independent honest,
and patriotic. Such a man present in the
person Of Hon. John Lind.
We heartily endorse the nomination of Hon.
p M Ringdal for congressman. His fearless
fight against the railroad corporations has en-
deared him to the people, and proved that he
can be trusted to fight their battles in the
future.
We believe that the man who, while serving
the state of Minnesota as senator, could sell
| his services TO promote the plans of great
| corporations, is an unsafe man for the people
| to trust. We therefore ask the people to sup
| port the legislative ticket nominated here to-
day, for the purpose of relegating to priva te
life the brilliant corporation Attorney G.. K.
Davis.
We favor the reduction of the legal rate of
interest to six per cent. and the reduction Of
| the contract rate Of interest to eight per cent.
We condemn the management of the State
| Prison Twine plant for selling twine at cost to
spectators. We demand that in the future it
shall be sold at cost to the people for whom it
| was intended-the farmers.
We assert the great interest of our section
of the state, the agricultural industry, has not
for years past, and is not now receiving the
just protection it is en- titled to from the state
governments: that our legislators have hereto
fore utterly failed to enact any law to rescue
our grain traffic from depredations of the no.
tOriOuS wheat ring.
We favor a uniform system of text books TO
our schools to be printed by the state and fur
nlSneQ Tree TO our SCHOOLS.
We believe that our state capitol lands
should be reserved for some state institu ton
to be located at or near them.
