THE RESOLUTIONS.
| We, the Democrats of Brown County,
in convention assembled, reafirm our al
legiance to the principles of the Demo-
cratic party as enunciated and set forth
in the platform adopted at the National
Democratic Convention at Kansas City
July 4th.
To our great and gallant leaders, VIM.
Jennings Bryan aud Adlai Stevenson, we
pledge our loyal support; in them we
recognize two great champions of the
common people of our land, whose patri-
otism aud craftsmanship class them with
Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Lin
coin, who taught the principles of fre
government and builded upon them what
| is destined to be the greatest nation of
| the earth.
We heartily endorse the wise, patriot
ic, statesmanlike administration of Gov.
John Lind, and in the coming campaign
pledge to him our united support. New
er before has that office been filled by a
man against whom there were so few ad-
verse criticisms. In the two years that
he has So ably performed the duties of
the office he has not performed single
official act detrimental to the interests Of
the people at large. He has given the
grain inspection department Of this state
such careful attention that thousands Of
dollars have been saved to the farmers
Of the state in grades and dockage, and
while he has done this equal justice has
been shown the terminal elevators and
the consumers.
He has, through the railroad and ware
houso comm, G coiounrc ouuco.I A ,o1ro+;o,
in freight rates on several roads in the
southern and southwestern portion of the
state, and in this manner, basing the es-
innate on the number Of bushels of wheat
shipped over these lines from points
within the state, saved the farmers along
those lines 100000.
He has, through his untiring efforts
and ability as d lawyer, caused proceed
ings to be instituted against large cor
pora:ions that have unlawfully acquired
title to large tracts of lands within the
state. which will no doubt result in the
recovery. Ly the state of over 10000
acres of valuable lands. He has placed
at the head of the Dairy and Food De-
partment of the state a man of whom
Brown county is justly proud; F or the
first time in the history of the state have
the people realized the benefits to be de-
rived from the efforts Of competent
Dairy and Food Commissioner in pro-
tecting the public health.
In his other appointments, Gov. Lind
has been equally as wise and conserva-
tive, and each in the performance of his
duties reflects great credit on the admin
istration.
AS believers in the great Declaration of
Independence, and as adherents to the
Constitution of the United States, we ex-
press our sympathy with the Beers of
South Africa, whose gallant struggle for
liberty against the overwhelming num-
bers of the British army and the avarice
of the English government, should give
them place among the independent ma
tions of the earth as race qualified to
breathe the spirit of liberty and to exer-
else the inalienable rights of free peo-
pie. ...,-E.
We condemn the policy of the admin
istration towards the people of the Phil
ippine Islands rs unjust and un- American
It is contrary to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, contrary to the teachings of
the founders of our republic, and con-
trary to the established precedents of
history. To govern a foreign people
without their consent, and at the point
of a bayonet, is not expansion, but it is
imperialism. To continue this form of
government; to establish large stand
ing army to be maintained for years to
