BRYAN FOR THE PEOPLE
GRAND FORKS COUNTY,
NORTH DAKOTA
SENTIMENT TOWARD A UNION
An Address That Indicates Where
the PODulists of That Part
cG the Northwest VIII
He Found.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., March &C.
Especial )-The Popunst committee fo
| Grand Forks county, which is comp Sc,
| of eX-Attorney General William II. Stand
ish, D. NJ. Holiness e. X. Spoonheim, w
L. p Goodison, NJ. Shirley and Ole Gran
rud, has issued an address to the People:
party of this county which is very signid.
| cant of the trend of sentiment toward q
| union of forces for the overthrow Of the
| present un-American national adm;nistra-
ton. The address says that the official
| call for the presidential caucuses COM
pels Populists to determine whether they
shall give assistance to trusts, imperial
ism, Puerto Rican tariff and Philipp!ne
conquest, by electing delegates who fa-
Vor division, Cincinnati and defeat, or
Sioux Falls, Bryan, Caldwell, victory and
political redemption.
The appeal goes on:
THE Boer war is the twin of the Phil
tppine-both based on greed. The Puerto
Rican tariff is to enable two trusts to
acquire Puerto Rican tobacco and sugar
IS per cent cheaper, and the scheme to
throw that money back to Puerto Rico
does not lessen the donation to these
trusts but makes it an appropriation
from all the common people Of this coun-
the precedent of interstate tariff between
parts of the United States having trade
together. The argument of the profit and
wealth the Philippines will be to us shows
the Philippine to be a war OF conquest
for plumber, Turing us as did the Boer
gold fields the British.
THE Sulu treaty, guaranteeing to the
pirates, the slave holders, the mormons,
and saVages of the Sulu group that they
shall not be molested while we open war
upon our allies in war, the Spanish war,
and the only advanced Christianized part
of the Philippines shows that we are
there for no object that has the approval /
of Christ.
IF this. our Boer war, succeeds in de-
dicates, other Boer wars will follow to
feed the greed of the same monsters that
are now lying in wait to eat up Puerto
Rico and the Philippines and create a
masses.
1--WE cannot meet this matter four or
twenty years hence, but we must meet
1t now with Sioux Falls, Bryan and Cald-
well and victory and avert 1T.
The people are aroused. In one pre-
clnct at Inkster are ten who voted for
Mckinley who now declare they will
never support him again, and the same
rebellion exists everywhere from coast to
coast. These men who have been against
us are not demanding the middle of the
road and division, but Bryan and union
to win and avert these perils.
Bryan and Democracy have adopted
Populism, leaving nothing to be secured
by the middle of the road other than di-
vision and Republican success
The appeal then quotes the platform
recently adopted by the Nebraska De-
and continues with the COM
Of Judge Caldwell for the vice
presidential nominee with Bryan. 1t
cites that he is the appointee of Lincoln,
and has endeared himself to the labor
element of the country by the protec-
ton given laborers on railways under
the control Of receivers In his circuit
The appeal concludes as follows:
Behind the call Of our state and
county committees to elect whether we
shall go to Cincinnati or to Sioux Falls
die of the readers to control the caucuses,
not only in this county, but throughout
the Northwest, and secure division and
Republican success, and, to avert this, |
every Populist that prefers Bryan and
Caldwell on the above platform to Nc
kinney and some other trust tool should
attend our city caucuSes in Grand Forks
on March 81, at 1880 to $780, at the last
voting place in each ward, andsFtn. the
caucuses are 20 be, and attend them, and
this should be done in all other states,
and no delegate should be elected at any
caucus that faVorS division, Cincinnati
and Republican success.
There is no choice for Socialism, Social
democracy or middle of the roadism to
Bryan. 1t is Bryan for the people or
other choice no matter how much we
would desire it. Patriot Populists get to
the caucuses and vote for Bryan Sioux
