We, the democrats of North Dakota,
in convention assembled, hereby renew
our allegiance To those immortal princl-
Piles OF human rights. enumerated by
jefferson, defended b. Jackson and in
their latest form incorporated in the
democratic platform OF 1909. We an
nounce our unqualified approval Of every
principle =noo>iied II that platform.
We send greetings % our ideal leaders.
William Jennings Bryan. OF Nebraska,
and Adlsi e. Stevenson, OF Illinois, and
pledge thar and ihs principles for which
they stand. tha loyal support OF North
Dakota in tre rational election.
The republicans nave been ID control
of all branches Of our state government
for the pasl.six years. ard we challenge
them to defend themselves against the
following charges and specifications:
Fi.st-You have recklessly and pro-
higately conducted the business of the
state thereby largely and unnecessarily
increasing the taxes and imposing IN
necessary and MUST burdens upon the
taxpayers.
Second-You have carried upon the
pay roll employees and clerks who have
drawn salaries without rendering service.
Third-You have Disseminated in ia
vor of corporations and against the PEG.
pie.
Fourth-Your party has been domi.
mated by machine which has used it fo1
the promotion of Individual and selfish
interests.
Fifth-Yon have defeated for renomin.
alton state officers for the reason that
they endeavored faithfully to carry out
your pledges to the people in relation to
corporations.
Sixth-Recognizlng the truth Of the
above charges, the delegates who attend
ed your last state convention failed to
endorse the present state administration,
expressed no regret for its actions in the
past, and make no promises for amend
ment in the future.
We make these further declarations:
First-We are in favor Of primary
election law, to replace the present meth
cd of nominating candidates for office.
to the end that nomination shall be
made by direct vote Of the people.
Second-We favor honest legislation,
state and national, to the end that capt.
tai and corporate property shall bear its
full share of the burdens of taxation.
Third-We promise an economical ad-
ministration Of the business of the state,
and reduction of taxes to the lowest
rate consistent Herewith.
Fourth-We favor the initiative and
referendum.
Fifth-We commend the service, con-
duct and bravery OF the soldiers of the
First North Dakota regiment in the late
war in the Philippines islands.
To the full discharge of the pledges
herein made, in letter and in spite, aud
to correction of the errors and abuses
herein complained of we pledge the can
didates nominated by this convention.

Ex-PREs1DENT HARRISON thinks
that Indiana is doubtful this year
and says he would not be surprised
It it went democratic. The New
York Tribune, the great apostle OF
republication, classes New York
snd Michigan as doubtful states
this fall. Altogether, the re-
publicans are beginning to awake
from their pipe dream that the
silver plank spells ruin, and SO
rsalixe that imperialism will be
ihs real issue after all.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-07-26
EXPLICIT AND PRACTICAL.
The democratic platform adopt,
ed at Kansas City declares that.

Existing laws against trusts must be
enforced and more stringent ones must
be enacted, providing the publicity as to
the affairs of corporations to show, before
doing business outside of the state that
they have not attempted, and are not
attempting, to mon ,polize any branch OF
business or the production of any article
OF merchandise.
There is nothing evasive or
hesitating about this declaration.
1t is clear and explicit, entirely
devoid of quibbling. A law
requiring publicity would make
most of the preliminary transac-
tons incident to the organization
of those plundering schemes i'm
possible. They could not bear the
light of publicity, nor endure the
heat of public indignation. A law
requiring corporations doing bust
ness outside the state Of their
origin to show that there has been
no stock watering before o license
to do business could issue would
puta stop to that nefarious practice.
Let these demands of the platform
be embodied in law and the trust
question would become one of adj
ministration. IL the public ser.
wants charged with the duty If
enforcing the law do their duty the
trust question will have been set
tied, or at least the elements of
danger in it will have been elimi-
mated.

trust dominance and defies the
trusts. Mckinley is owned by
the trusts and does their will.
For these reasons it is natural
that Bryan should fearlessly dis
cuss tie trust evil. Fer these
reasons it was natural that McKin-
ley was afraid to say one word
about the trusts. The American
people will not miss the meaning
of the dramatic contrast. Mckln-
ley's dumbness is eloquent in its
appeal for Bryan's election to the
presidency.

Some of the papers are saying
that ". E. Davis withdrew from
the race for the democratic nomin-
alton for governor, "for business
reasons" Well, yes; the fact is
he began the business of life two
years too late. The governor of
this state must be thirty years of
age, and Mr.. Davis is but twenty
eight.

The expected has happened. 1t has

Dyer to close the power plant and stop

chambers a, Fort Collins last night,
when the receiver applied for an order
for receivers certificates to keep the

failed 10 show that he could run the line
at anything better than considerable
loss and the court decided that the in

10 the eternal drain. The receiver had
been authorized to borrow money to ex.
tend the line SO as to make it more self
sustaining. but sinister local interests
and the ultra conservatism OF Boulder
banks led TO failure to secure the 5000
loan authorized. A mile OF additional

revenue and no appreciable amour, to

profit from the great crowds i, was
