l.. G. Long was called on for
speech. He took the platform and in
part said: "There is very little time
for speech, but wish to thank the
conventions for the honors conferred
It is the greatest honor have ever
received. I have been nominated on
similar occasions but only to be a
martyr. During the last 20 years ]
have never voted for a man that was
elected and will vote for no man whose
principles do not correspond with
mine. Last election I voted for Bryan
under protest but will willing
ly vote for Bryan this year,
and for Gov. Lind who has
been the best governor since Mime
sofa became state. The principles
of the republicans in regard to the
PHILIPPINES is violation of the De-
claration OF Independence. Ten
thousand men voted for Mckinley
four years ago because they supposed
he stood for free silver when he claimed
to favor bi-metalism, but they won't
vote for him this year. If he was a
republican he would be honest and
advocate constitutional monarchy
Populists will be with the democrats
on Imperialism and work for any mar
believing in Bryan principles.
A. G.. Lagrange was called on for 9
speech in, declining said. Mr.. Long
will be our next representative, and
might have been our present senator
had he known how to run politics.
Mr.. Swanson, of Murray: count!
made few remarks stating that h
would earnestly support Mr.. Long
The Scandinavians hadj united will
the republican party but vera leavin,
lit as fast as they got their eyes open
ed and it was with the determine
ton of Luther Cromwell, Washing
ton and Lincoln they we're going t
carry on the fight. "
