500 Right" the Watchword.


Our party has performed grand
mission in the past, but it's work is
just begun. The determined appear
ance OF the body of men, who COM
posed this convention told palmer
than words, that; "Do right was the
watchword of the hour.'' Who is
there to say they did anything but their
plain duty? Our principles will live
and soon be more generally recog-
nized. This determined stand by the
convention is a credit to the party it
represents.
This county substantially recog-
nized on the state ticket, O.. S. Rel
shus having received the nomination
for auditor. Mr.. Reishus, should he
be elected, would fill the position with
credit to himself and the party. A
man, who has been in public office
and faithfully guarded the interests oil
his constituents upon all occasions is
just the kind of man we need in the
auditors chair.
The platform adopted is brimful OF
planks with meaning plainly stated
very much in contrast to some others,
whose language is so obstruse as to
leave little idea Of it's purport. Clark

IT IS STILL the OLD PARTY.

Those who figure that the populistic
ticket in this state is going to cut
deeply into the democratic vote are
mistaken. The present 'peoples par
ty'' is made up chiefly of the so-called
mld-roaders who in the past have
never fused neither amongst them
selves nor with anyone else. The only
time they ever lined up with the DEM
ocrats was after election two years
ago when there were few appointive
offices in sight. It is better by far
that those who are not with US, any
way, should be openly against US. In
this way only can the democrats es-
cape being charged with the sin of
others. Free Press.
The present peoples party is made
up of men who believe in the princi-
pies of tho party, irrespective of
whether they have in the past been
mid-roaders or fusionists. A glance
at the list of delegates and the ticket
will convince any one who knows any
thing of the party in Minnesota that
it was representative gathering of
both. kinds, with the former fusion
lists in the majority. Those populists
who ''linsd up with the democrats
when there were few appointive Of
fees in sight, have now as a rule
Joined the democrats openly. The
mid-roaders were not present in very
large numbers, because most of them
preferred to wait and see what the Or
ganization would do before they would
take an active part. The action of
the convention therefore depended on
former fusionists, and the fact that
the action was taken unanimously
proved that they all recognized that
the democratic party is drifting away
from the platform and leaders that
made fusion possible, and that the
preserv alton of the Peoples organiza-
ton was necessary.

A VOICE FROM DULUTH.

The Duluth Tribunal, the same pa
per that two months ago accused the
editor of the TRIBUNE of: corrupt mo-
tives in advocating independent &C
ton OF the peoples party, has expert
enced change of heart, and in a
four column article advocates that
silver republicans and populists re.
turn to the republican party and help
reform it. After all its effort, the Tri-
bunal did not succeed in making it's
position tenable. No, Bro. Mitchell,
the best way to influence the right
kind of legislation is by the reformers
standing out boldly ind openly and
threatening the rule of the politicians
of the old party. Reforming the Re-
publican party is an idle dream.
The corrupting influences of the ma
tion WELD so strong an influence there,
that should some individual have the
temerity to raise voice he is prompt
ly sat down upon and asked to occupy
back seat. If his manhood rebels
other means are found of quietly dis
posing of him. But we have found as
a rule that those who leave a reform
organization to go back to the old
parties generally do so from some
other motive than principle, and be-
come the most abject and pitiable
supplicants before the powers that be.
The peoples party offers a congenial
political home to the Independent voter
OF Minnesota, where he can make his
influence felt for the good of the state,
and where he is assured of a full and
fair hearing. The city of Duluth is a
fruitful field for the peoples party.
While the organization is deranged
there at present there are hundreds
upon hundred of voters of the rank
and file that are looking for the re-
Mobilization Of their party and it will
come before very long. MARK THE
PREDICTION! ~....

organs that fought Bryan in those
campaigns. It may be wrong but it
will have to be convinced otherwise.
The editor was pre- sent at the conven-
ton, and for the time being every
thing appeared lovely but in the face
of Post-convention developments it
would not be consistent to give it's un-
qualified support to the democratic
state ticket -Pipestone Leader.
The Leader is mistaken as to
Bob Smith having been on the Palm
er-Buckner ticket, but the fact never
theless remains that he is in close
touch with and always enjoys the COR
dial support of Incorporation demo-
Gratis Of St. Paul.
The populists were equal to the
emergency, and manfully did their
duty. They present ticket which all
reformers will honor themselves by
supporting.

4 Little Doubling. But Endorses Ticket.

The populist party state convention
last week decided TO go it alone this
year, the sentiment against fusion with
the democrats being practically unani-
nous, and complete state ticket was
nominated, which is composed of men
who at least are the equals in ability
and~~fitness of those on the opposing
tickets, and who possess the confidence
and esteem of their fellow citizens.
The convention was the smallest in
number of delegates of any since the
party was organized, due, we believe,
to a serious doubt among many popu-
lists of the wisdom of nominating a
full separate ticket; for the only prac-
tical difference between the democratic
party in this state and the peoples
party is in name. 1t is certain that
large number Of populists believe the
only hope ofsuccess against plutocracy
is in a complete cooperation of the re-
form forces, as is the case this year in
Kansas, Nebraska, and other states,
where, too, the democrats are in the
minority. But populists who insist
that it is necessary for future emer-
)gencies to maintain a separate and
good organization, agreed at the con-
vention that a separate ticket was es-
sential, and so deciding, nominations
were made and a platform was adopted
that no true populist can criticise and
which all can agree is wise and invul-
nerable to attack.
Every nominee is a populist plat
form in himself, and while each de-
serves special mention and encomium,
the nomination of Thomas j. Meighen
for governor, and that of E. W. Knat-
void of F reborn county, for treasurer,
are honors which will be especially
appreciated in southern Minnesota,
Like the others on the ticket they &C.
cepted OF the imposed responsibilities
against their protests, and as sacri-
flee to duty, and no men of any party
are more worthy, are more loyal to
patriotic conviction or more capable
and deserving Of high Office in the

ExrRAvAcANcE AND lNAcTloN.

Congress has adjourned, and it is
safe to assume that it's record will not
be mentioned very prominently by the
majority party. 1t has made an I'M
parelleled record for extravaganza.
The appropriations amount to about
one billion dollars. It is only a few
shost years since the country was
startled by the extravaganza OF the
"billion-dollar congress-" but that
billion was for two years. Now we
have reached the billion mark in one
session. II the expenses of the gov
eminent 60 on doubling every five
years, how long will it be before the
patience of the people will be exhaust
ed and a change inaugurated?
OF the bills passed, the only ones of
national Importance that can be point
ed to with pride are the Panama ca
nal bill and the irrigatio bill. The
treaties with foreign powers by which
the reciprocity the republicans talk
about so much would have been put
into operation, have be IN allowed to
sleep in the pigeon holes of tho senate.
The Cuban reciprocity measure has
been killed by the fight between two
trusts. The ''elastic currency" meas
ure promised by the republicans in
their last national platform, has been
put aside until after the election, be-
cause they dare not act on it now.
The antitrust amendments to the con-
stitution, which the republicans were
so anxious to pass just before the last
national election, have not been heard
OF this session. The ship subsidy bill
is also postponed till after the ides of
November.
If extravaganza in appropriations
and inaction in Important matters
make good campaign material for the
party guilty thereof then the republic
can party is certainly we'll fixed for
the coming campaign..s

the P0PULlsTs "FILL the GAP"

The editor of the Pipestone Star At
tended the democratic state conyen-
ton. He, returned, bnt could raise no
enthusiasm. He probably felt like the
populists did who went from Minnea-
polls to attend a ratification meeting
at ST. Paul two years ago and heard
the chairman's address. After re-
viewing the doings of the state con-
vention, the Pipestone editor con-
cludes as follows:
But the die is cast and it remains
for the democratic party to make the
best of it. Rosing cannot be elected
governor. His running mate, Rob't
Smith, cannot hope to secure the vote
OF the Bryan democracy, because he
was one OF the candidates for presi-
Dental electOr on the Palmer-Buck-
ner ticket, the state branch of the Han.
ma aid society in the campaign of 1896,
comprising the gold wing of the demo-
cratic party that opposed Bryan. To
make matters worse, the St. Paul
Globe, the official organ of the Han
ma aid society in 1900, came out fair
and square for the nominees of the
state democratic convention last week.
The Globe opposed Bryan. with all it's
might in 1900, and it's support of the
recently nominated state ticket onlv
serves to strengthen the suspicion of
the populists that they we're being
swallowed up by the democrats. ,
1t was the opportunity of the reform
forces to nominate q winning ticket
this year. The republican party has
been put on the defensive, and had
the convention paused to consider. the
course 1t was pursuing it might. have
grasped the opportunity. AS it is the
reform forces are now divided and on
~ little short of miracle can Re-
unite them. :. -I> ,.r
1t remains for the populist state con.
yention to place itself on record. It is
the opportunity Of q lifetime for the
populists to 'sfill the gap" It is now
the hope Of all true advocates that the
pOpulists this week come before the
people of the state with q ticket that
stands for populist principles and
make no compromise with with gold
democrats, republicans or other cor
pOratiOn bound organizations. tt is

The populists may not have had as
largely attended state convention as

their own fare and formulated their

N state like Minnesota with vii.
/ lagos and cities distributed at al.
most regularly intervening dis
tances in every county, our present
license system" under which the Ii
quor traffic is operated is clearly one
that should be studied and understood.
License is right granted by com-
petent authority "to do an act which,
without such authority, would be H.
legal"
Under our state law, license to sell
Intoxicating liquors must be granted
by the county board of commissioners
or by authorities of incorporated
towns. We know it to be fact that
such license is very seldom granted
by the board Of county commissioners
because it is desirable to have the sa-
looms located in the villages, and as
nearly all villages of any Importance
are incorporated, license must be
granted, if al all, by the constituted
authorities of such villages. Any
village containing resident popula-
ton of IT'S, may incorporate, submit
the license question to it's legal voters
& not to all it's residents and if carried
by a majority vote, the council as the
agent of the people of that municipal
ity grants license for fixed fee.
The primary purpose of licensing
was to regulate the trade. But that
is no longer the plea. He is blind
who does not see that any community
is better protected without this "regu-
lation system.' Anyone must under
stand that the more ''regulation' Ii
cense money vendor pays, the more
he must sell in order to make living
and a profit and the more he sells the
less protection to society. No, the
"license system' as practiced with US
is purely a taxation system. Go into
any locality where d license campaign
is on and the arguments are, increase
of revenue for public improvements;
reduction of taxes. Let us look at it
as tax alton system. All expenses
for public improvements, and all le-
ultimate taxes levied should be paid
by the residents of the municipality
wherein such improvements are made
and such taxes levied. But 1t is not
thus under our present license system.
Take a yil)age*of 200, patronized by
people from four fairly we'll populated
and adjoining townships. We will
say that SO Of the 200 are legal
voters. rs of these argue and vote IL
cense for public improvements and re-
duction of taxes. No one will contend
that the money from which license is
