although several hundred Of the delegates
thought SO and left the hall.
The committee on platform had spent the
entire afternoon in consideration Of the
platform, or rather listening to the argu-
ments Of a few delegates who wanted to
change 1t from what had been agreed upon
early in the day. A few changes were
made in committee, the principal one being
the more specific endorsement Of President
Roosevelt for reelection, and the addi-
ton Of a paragraph on the labor question.
However, when the platform was presented
near the end Of the session Or. Watson OF
Cottonwood county moved to strike out the
paragraph on Cuban reciprocity and to in
sert a paragraph reading:
1--WE hereby endorse President Roosevelt's
high moral and high patriotic stand taken
on the question Of reciprocity with Cuba"
After a lively debate his amendment was
tabled and the platform as reported by the
committee was adopted.

nesota in his efforts to continue and ad-
vance the prosperity Of the people at homo
