The convention to renominate Congress
man Stevens was called to order within a
very few minutes after the special train
bearing the delegates arrived at Cam
bridge. The delegates were met at the
depot by Mayor Sutherland and the Cam.
bridge Cornet band. Arriving at the
court house. Chairman Vanish, OF the
congressional committee, called the con-
vention to order and the reading OF the
call was dispensed with. J. w. Pope, OF
Nanabec county, was selected temporary
chairman, and c. S. ,Schurman, OF Ram
sey, and Mayor Sutherland, secretaries.
committee on resolutions consisting of
nine, with Hiler Horton, of Romsey, as
chairman, was appointed Things We're
rushed along and E. G.. Rogers, of Ram
se3', stepped to the front and proceeded to
nominate F. c. Stevens. Oar Reese
seconded the nomination in one of his
usual spread-eagle speeches.
The committee on resolutions reported
a lengthy platform, pledgIng the party to
protection which would prevent the
pauper labor of the Orient from landing
IN the United States; the maintenance of
the gold standard; upbuilding of merch,
ant marine; destruction of all the trusts !;
an Endorsement of Senators Davis and
Nelson and pledging OF hearty support to
congressman stevens.
Congressman Stevens thanked the con-
yention for the high honor conferred and
explained at length how, when the Repub-
lean party assumed the reins four years
ago, everything was at a standstill. Since
then, with protection and sound money,
confidence had been restored and the
country was now prosperous and happy
The question of free trade between the
United States and its new possessions
was touched upon. Mr.. Stevens declaring
that 1t was political necessity that CON
gross should have the right to enact
whatever laws necessary to govern COM
mercial intercourse
Under the treaty with Spain that
country was entitled to equal rights with
the United States for ten years in trade
with the Philippine islands If we have
tariff on our goods, Spain must pay
equal tariffs; if We have free trade Spain
must have equal privileges, This would
set in force the most favored nation
clause IN the treaties with thirty-fve
other nations and give them equal rights
of free trade with the Philippines, and
with free trade between the Philippines
and the United States. this would make
practically a condition of free trade with
the United States and the breaking down
of our tariff wall and allowing the paUper
labor of the world TO compete with our
Workingmen."
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stevens speech
the convention adjourned, Mayor Suther-
land informing the delegates that they
had the freedom of the city.
