their consent. We regard this as but
one form Of imperialism and denounce
| all other forms, such as the surrender
| or the functions Of coming and issu-
| ing money by the federal government
| to private banks, ms n policy which Is
unconstitutional, undemocratic, unre.
| publican and despotic.
sResolved. That we indorse the pres
ant administration OF Gov John Lind
