While awaiting the reports Of
the committees, Mr., Truelsen, the.
fusion nominee for congress, ad-
dressed the convention. He gave
a brief history of what he had
accomplished in Duluth in his
fight for pure water and the
mavorship. From this hegdrew al
lesson-that no matter how hope-
less cause may look, victory is
sure to come to the aggressive and
persistent. He and his remarks
were warmly greeted bv the dele.
gates.
The committee on resolutions,
Of which P. j. Russell was chair
man, made an extended report
which was enthusiastically re-
ceiyed and unanimously adopted.
It condemned the party in power
and branded our Philippine troub-
les as an "unholy war; the plat
form gives superlative praise to.
Lind's administration, and en-
dorses the candidacy Of BRYAN,
Truelsen, Swanson, and Judge

The delegates were very proud
Of their ticket and claim it will be
winner, from start to finish.
That element which claims that
the Scandinayians did not get
proper recognition on the repub-
lican ticket, have certainly no
right to kick at the populist tick
ct. All the nominees have clean
records as citizens, so far as we
know.
In the evening Candidate for
Congress Truelsen delivered an
address, connning his. remarks
principally to Imperialism. He
made some boast about the declin-
alton Of Cong. Morris to meet him
in joint debate. In the Duluth
Herald of Monday appears a long
article concerning this meeting, IN
which Mr.. Truelsen says in part:

vention was to be held there that

had a. fine convention. There were
116 delegates elected, and oyer 100

distance they had to go. / spoke

meeting was very successful, and
we had double the crowd that was
