HE ADDRESSES THE MINNESOTA
STATE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
AND MEETS WITH APPLAUSE.
GREAT TRUST QUESTION
IS FREELY DISCUSSED
Under the Leadership Of President Roose-
welt the Glory and Honor Of the Coun-
try Both at Home and Abroad in Safe
Keeping With the Republican Party
Good Government in the Orient.
[BY ASSOCIATED PREss.1

ST. Paul, July Former State Senator
Masterman, chairman of the state central
committee, in calling the republican state
convention to order this afternoon named
United States Senator Knute Nelson for
temporary chairman. The selection was
approved with applause at the conclusion
Of which Mr. Nelson addressed the con-
vention.
He said:
THE tendency Of the times is to COM
bination and concentration and where the
chief object of this is to lessen the cost
of production so as to cheaper the cost
to the consumer and not to obtain
monopoly, suppress competition, or check
the reduction of price to the consumer,
the public will not be injured and has no
fair ground for complaint.
"A monopoly national in its scope and
consequences should be for the protection
of the entire people, and subject to national
control. Whoever seeks to enjoy national
protection and national advantages should
also submit to national inspection and
regulation. Protection in such cases
should be mutual. Complete consolida-
ton, whatever its purpose may be, becomes
nevertheless in its essence monopoly
and complete monopoly necessarily in
wolves absolutism and this is repulsive to
the great body of the people and is
dreaded by them in the realm of traffic
no less than in the political world.
"The glory, the honor and prosperity
of our country at home and abroad, under
the leadership of President Roosevelt are
safe in the keeping and charge Of the re-
publican party. We shall meet and sue
cessfully solve the Philippine problem as
we have met and successfully solved every
other great problem we have been con-
fronted with.
I'VE shall, in time plant the flag of
liberty, order and good government as
firmly in the distant orient as here at
home, and millions of oppressed and DOWN
trodden humanity will worship and for
ever bless the great republic of the West"

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or

A short time ago we published an ar
ticie recommending TO our readers the
new discovery for the cure of Dyspep-
STA. called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and the claims then made regarding the
wonderful curative properties of the
remedy have been abundantly sustained
by the facts. People who were eau
tlous about trying new remedies adver-
used IN the newspapers and were final
~ induced to give Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets trial were surprised ana de-
hshted at the results. In many cases
a single package costing but 80 cents
at any drug store made complete cure
and in every instance the most ben
ef1cial results were reported. From 100
or more received we have space to pub
hsh only few Of the latest, but assure
our readers we receive so many COM
mandatory letters that we shall publish
each week fresh list of genuine, I'M
sohcited testimonials and never publish
