The resolutions adopted are as fol-
lows:
IIns convention hereby renews it's
faith in and its allegation to the prin-
cipes of the democratic party.
We declare our opposition to a tariff
system that robs the producer and that
fosters the growth and strengthens the
combinations that lead to the estah-
llshment of trusts. We oppose n
all systems of taxation levied for
any purposes than to provide the nee,
essary revenues for the economical adj
ministration of the government. We
are therefore in favor of a tariff for
revenue only, and especially favor such
modification of existing tariff sched-
ules as may be required to prevent
their longer affording shelter to mon
opoly.
We favor and recommend the adop-
ton of a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of United
States senators by a direct vote OF. the
people.
While we firmly believe in the en-
forcement of law and order, we are op-
posed to government by injunction.
We L opposed to the merger or con-
solidation of parallel or competing
lines of transportation. 1t destroys
competition and creates monopoly
which places the industries of the state
at the mercy of the railroads.
We condemn the republican party of
North Dakota for being dominated in
it's late convention and for being inf1u7
enced in favor of perfeeting such. CON
solidation. We are opposed to the re-
publican nominees because they were
dictated to by a political machine sup
ported and maintained by these cor
porate interests, and we condemn the
nominee of the republican party for
governor because of his v%acillating and
weak conduct on the merger question.
We favor the enactment of a prim-
airy election law for the nomination of
all public officers and we denounce boss
rules a destructive and un-American.
We favor the adoption of such legis-.
~lation as shall repeal the so-called fell
~low-servant law in this state.
We favor just and equitable taxation
of all property in this state and we
condemn the republican party for its
failure to tax property OF corporations
on the same basis as other property is
taxed, and recommend that all property
be taxed on the basis of its market
value.
