Dan P. Stubs, of Fairfield, chairman
of the committee. read the resolutions.
He prefaced the reading by saying that
they had been adopted without q dis
senting voice in the committee. There
was applause for the re affirmation of
a
that 1t be read again. which was done.
The endorsement Of Bryan caused an-
other demonstrations. The plank de-
nouncing the new financial law was
greeted with another cheer and the
trust plank received a milder manifes-
tation of approval. The condemnation
Of the Porto Rican tariff bill and the
endorsement of the Iowa house resolu-
ton called forth cheers and laughter.
There We're more cheers for the anti
imperialism plank and the declaration
of sympathy for the Beers touched the
popular chord. On rising vote the
resolutions We're adopted with cheer
and the waving of hats and handker-
chiefs. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:
The democracy of Iowa invite the.
Incorporation of all friends Of civil and
personal liberty and of equal rights.
and who are in favor of the mainte-l
nance of constitutional government as
founded by the fathers, and make the
following declaration of principles in
support thereof:
II. We reaffirm our unqualified allie
glance TO the principles set forth in the.
democratic national platform adopted:
at Chicago in 1896 and recognizing Will
liam ]. Bryan as the greatest living ex-.
ponent of said principles, we demand
\ his nomination as the standard bearer
of democracy.
-. We are opposed to the single gold
! standard and denounce the action OF
congress in attempting to establish it,,
and in retiring the greenback currency
in circulation and surrendering the
sovereign power OF the government
over the money OF the country and the
lsplacing of this power in the hands of
banking corporations.
'.33 We denounce trusts and combs;
nations in restraint of trade and the
protective policy of the republican
party upon which they are founded anu
ldemand legislation that Will relieve the
lSpeople from their burdens promptly
Thoroughly and effectively.
We dep!ore the adoption of the
4 recent Porto Rican measure which the
people anu the press of all parties have
| branded as a violation of American
Epledges and the constitution and as a
stain upon American honor, and We
HEARTILY commend the action of the
4 house of Representatives. of the Twenty
eighth general assembly4of the state of
\ Iowa III adopting by unanimous vote a
resolution opposing the Porto Rican
tariff.
%. We consider the imperialistic
policy of this administration as fraught
with danger to the best interests of our
country and destructive of the princi-
pies OF liberty guaranteed by the con-
4 stitution and condemn its course
toward the Philippine islands as I'M
American and contrary to the princi-
pies that our fathers maintained
against the tyranny Of Great Britain
during the war of the revolution.
So We, as citizens of a republic, ex-
tend our sympathy to the citizens of
the South African republics in the gall
liant fight they are making for the right
OF self government, for life, liberty and
home.
II. We favor the election OF United
States senators by direct vote of the
A people.
The radical element gave the con-
IserYatives much concern thruou. the
day. Every movement was watched
with anxious eye, and every proposition
in which there was possibility Of dan
|ger was opposed promptly. and yigor-
ously.
The surprise OF the day was the nom
4 ination Of George Baker, Of Davenport,
as one Of the delegates at large. Mr..
Baker was not spoken Of in this con-
nection until Wednesday night. 1t was
quietly talked that his candidacy was
brought about by the conservatives for
the purpose OF defeating Editor John
Murphy, of Dubuque, leader of the
4 ultra-silver faction, but Senator Porter.
who made a strong plea for Mr.. Baker
4 before the convention declared the re-
/ port to be wholly unfounded. The fact
4 that Scott county cast eight votes for
Murphy proves the story false. There
were nine candidates for delegates-at-
Large. The convention decided to vote
4 for four at one time, the four receiving
