MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 22-The
Democratic state convention for the nom
ipation of a full ticket was called to
order at the Pabst theater by State
Chairman George W. Peck at noon to-
day. The main floor was given over to
the delegates, the on-lookers occupying
the balconies. The theater was pref
tily decorated with a profusion of the
national colors. The most striking part
cf the decorations was a huge picture of
William Jennings Bryan, which was
drapad in national colors and placed on
the front of the stage

chairman, who sounded the keynote of
the campaign. Trusts he characterized
as an ulcerous growth of the body poll
tic THE people had confidence in the
integrity and ability of William Jennings
Bryan he said, "and if elected he
would find a way to correct the trust
evil When Mr.. Hood had concluded
committees were appointed on creden-
tials, permanent organization and reso-
Iutions and a recess taken until 2:30
p. m.
1t was nearly o'clock before the con-
vention was ready for business in reas-
sembling. P H. Martin, of Green Bay,
was made permanent chairman, and made
a speech eulogizing Bryan. Other
speeches occupied the time until o'clock,
when the committee on resolutions re-
ported The resolutions in part are as
follows:
We affirm the principles as set forth in
the platform adopted by the Democratic
party in convention assembled at Kansas
City, and hereby pledge ourselves to give
to the furtherance of the candidates. Of
our matchleSS leaders, William Jennings
Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson.
The constitution of our country pro-
fAy. ooy1f tho
broad and humane principle of a gov
ernment by consent of the governed
That under this constitution and under
these principles we have founded and
maintained the most enlightened, the
most humane, the best government the
world has ever seen.
We denounce, therefore, the abandon
ment of this principle by the Mckinley
administration and the substitution in its
stead of the monarchical system of a
government by force.
We expressly declare our opposition to
the Mckinley policy of establishing
colonial dependencies as adjuncts to our
republic. We denounce that policy as
revolutionary, destructive of the fun0a-
mental principles of free government,
and the abandonment of that splendid
system upon which was founded our free
institutions. We will fight to the last
ditch every attempt to establish a mill
tary system, which necessarily leads to
compulsory military service as an obliga-
ton of citizenship, and will strenuously
OpPOSS tIlC OIL a large stand
Ing army unnecessarily. with all its at
tendant burdens of oppressive taxation.
We denounce the attitude which the
Mckinley administration has assumed to-
wards the gigantic aggregations of capt.
tai, commonly known as trusts.
Other resolutions favor legislation
equalizing the tax laws of the state upon
the basis of constitutional uniformity
and revision of the laws relating to
transportation rates and license fees of
quasi-public corporations. Opposition is
expressed to a joint resolution amending
the constitution vesting the control of
public schools in the hands of the state
superintendent; also to joint resolution
for a general banking law
Louis G. Bomerich, of Kenosha, was
then nominated for governor by accla-
nation and the convention took recess
until 8 o'clock.
On reassembling communication was
received from the Populist convention
stating that that convention would in
dorse the presidential electors as in
dorsed by the Democratic convention.
The list of presidential electors as elect
ed by the various districts and two cleo
tors at large were then elected and the
balance of the state ticket as above NOM
mated with but little opposition The
name of Mr.. Bryan was greeted at every
mention during the speeches and har
mony prevailed throughout the proceed
ings.
