ST PAUL. June 10. 1899.
There are multiplying signs that the
hearts and consciences of the people are
becoming aroused on the subject of i'm
perialism, the country over. Since the
recent publications in the bureau, men,
tioning the national work being con-
Quoted at Boston and Washington we
have received numerous responses, all
to the same tenor, that the spreading of
the work of the Anti mperialist League
must 60 on. Numerous requests have
been received to be enrolled in such
league membership. In that connection
a criticism came to hand, that it was
feared, from persons noted in connec-
tion with the movement, that there was
religious bent to it which might prove
dangerous. For the sake of the cause
we laid this before the league, and
promptly received the following reas-
suring and politically very significant
statement:
nti-Imperialist League,
Boston and Washington, June 10, 49,
"George S. Garfield, Democratic Reform
Press Bureau, St. Paul:
DEAR SlR-1 uuSUcu 10 INFORM you
that there is not the slightest warrant for
the impression you mention. There is no
religious or ulterior motive in the pur-
poses or work of the League. 1t is unre-
ligious, unsectarian and unpolitical. But
our friends will certainly support for
president the candidate who stands
squarely on the Anti -Imperialist platform
Your obedient servant,
"What will be the outcome?" asks
the Mankato Free Press. Can't tell you
that, but the out-go to date is So head
to get 'em, and from $100 to $1,000 a
head to kill them off, so far.
While attention has been to degree
absorbed by the civil branches of Gov
ernor Lind's administration, the mil
itary arm has been brought up to very
high standard by the energy and untir-
ing efforts of the adjutant general,
Brigadier General George G. Lambert.
The foundation for the results accom-
plished by General Lambert was in the
fact that he was the author of the states
military code, which, by the way, has
been followed almost literally by the
United States war department. Hence
the intimate conformity of state and
federal school and tactics where the
two branches come in contact.
The following is the roster of the field
and staff, as now completed, and as will
be in camp this and following
