RESOLUTIONS.
We, the representatives OF the Peoples Party
OF Kandyohi county hereby reaf1irm our belief
in the principles for which we have so long
contended. The Peoples Party is not dead; its
principles are stronger with the people today
| than they ever were before. They have been
| taken up by the new democratic party, and the
two parties shoulder to shoulder are marching
to victory under the flag of freedom and un
der the leadership of the peoples champion
William Jennings Bryan. Our demands are 70,
| an American system of finance; no government
beyond the constitution, restriction of a cor
porate greed. and the freeing Of the producing
| classes from the grasp of the trust Hydra.
We commend the efficient administration OF
Governor John Lind. In all his actions he has
| stood by the common people of the state. He
has jealousy guarded every interest of the
state against the encroachments of corpor
atiOns. He has incurred the enmity OF the cor
porations and earned the lasting gratitude OF
| the common people.
We call the especial attention OF the people
to the fact that the railroad and warehouse
| commission is now to be elected by the people
| and that all the good work done by the present
administration in regulating freight rates an6
| securing just wheat grades win be undone un
less commission is elected that is in full sym
pathy with Gov. Lind in his efforts. We earn
estly urge all friends of reform to vote fo1
Messrs, Ringdal, Knox and Owen
We condemn our present representative II
| congress Mr. Eddy for disregarding the wishes
of his constituents regardless OF party, and al
principles of justice, by voting for the in
famous Porto Rcan tarrin BILL The people OF
the 7th district can rebuke that act and get 9
good representative by voting for our candi
date, Senator NJ j DAILY.
We urge our representative in the legisla
ture and in congress to work for electine
United State Senators by direct vote of the
people.
We favor temperance reform and our candi
date for the Office OF representative, nomi
mated here today, If elected stands pledged to
vote and work for the passage of q county
option law, and also to secure the passage OF
an effective search and seizure act which will
enable any law. abiding community to suppress
illegal liquor selling without the expense
necessary to secure the evidence needed to
convict under existing laws, by simply electine
men for executive officers who desire to en-
force the law. We heartily endorse the efhci
ent work done by our present county attorney
in fighting the illegal liquor trade, and we cal
upon all law abiding citizens Of the county to
help the work of suppressing illegal sale, by
re-electing Mr. P. H. Frye as county attorney
We are opposed to the county paying q
single dollar upon the bonded road No. Goo,
Lake Dump orders issued with the understand
ing that the people benefited were to pay fo1
same, unless the courts after a fair trial shall
direct that the same must be. SO paid. The
road has now no legal existence and our can
didate for representative and county commits
sioners stand pledged, II elected, to not allow
the same to be saddled upon the county as 9
perpetual source OF annoyance and expense tt
the tax payers OF the county. IA
