Little Falls from Buckman to pre-
vent Jos. Hortsch from getting a
license. The law is to have no sa-
loon within 1900 feet of school

going to start a saloon in the fall
within 1900 feet of the school house,
and just went to Little Falls to see
il the county commissioners had a
right to violate the school. laws.

1t is charged therein that Officer
Heroux showed his untitness by ar
resting and putting in jail on Thurs
day night OF last week a lad about
Is years of age, who was disturbing
the Salvation Army meeting. For
some time several boys have amused
themselves in making trouble at the
Army meeting gs, and it was time to
put a stop toit. The boy in ques-
tion, when the officer approached,
threatened him with a large pocket
knife, which the officer took away
from him, and collared him at the
same time: The boy was not
roughly treated. He was badly
scared, which was the intention.
The transcripts statement that the
boy was to beskept in Jail all night
lis untrue, as the matter was re-
ported to the mayor shortly after,
|and the officer was directed to re-
lease the how. The further state

First-To organize with as much
thoroughness as possible the dem
ocraric party of the state of Mime
sofa. Second-To studiously re-
frain from interfering to the slightest
extent with the organization of any
other party. Third-To so conduct
it's work that future co-opera tion
between independent parties uniting
however in opposition to the repub.
lican party would be possible.
And for the purpose OF enabling
the duly authorized delegates OF the
democratic and peoples party re-
spectively, to freely, fully and de-
liberately decide for themselves
whether or not such cooperation is
possible and desirable, the date for
the democratic state convention
was fixed at the same time and
place as fixed for the convention Of
the peoples party Of this state.
In conclusion, this committee ex-
presses its deliberate conviction that
no matter who the nominee of the
republican party may be he will be
merely the puppet of the men who
are responsibly for all the evil
already referred to. To remedy
such evils is a herculean task, at
best, but is impossible without brave
and thoughtful action upon the
part of the masses. =..
If this committee has or hereafter
may be able IN any way to assist in
producing a result SO desirable it's
members will feel fully repaid for the
time given by them, and the many
personal inconveniences they have.

not taken place is proved by no less
an authority than the present re-
publican state auditor. Mr.. Dunn
says in his report for 1856. ~
We are at this time confronted with
these undeniahle facts: The general
expenditures OF the state are rapidly
increasing and the valuation of
taxable property decreasing.
Republican policy for forty years
has resulted, therefore, in the en-
richment and aggrandizement OF the
corporations and the impoverish-
ment OF the people generally.
1t has become bv-word that tne
republican oftice-holders Of this
state and the representatives OF this
state in both houses of congress
submit, with a snbserviency that
does violence to ones idea of Ameri-
can manhood, to the dictation of the-
great corporate magnates OF the
northwest. ----------
The foregoing are a few OF the
many reasons which led the COM
mittee to believe that the issue new
is the same as it was two years ago,
viz: 'Shall the people or the cor
porations govern this common
wealtn?" The forces which opposed
"Hannaism'' in 1896, oppose Han
naism' today. The party which
supported that obnoxious principle
then, supports it now.
Since the election of 1896 this
comp,ittee believed it it's duty to
proceed upon the following lines:
