tors. The predomina.ing spirit of
the favored few was manifest early,
and a quarter Of an hour before the
convention assembled u slate was made
by County Chairman Henry and Sec
rotary Bradford. The convention thru
out had the appearance Of being DON'T
mated ;. u CONAN machine.
Chairman Henry called the conven-
ton to order shortly after . O'Clock.
Anthony c. Daily was nominated as
temporary chairman, as was also Coun-
ty Chairman Henry. The latter with
Grew and Mr.. DAILY was unanimously

was made temporary secretary. The
temporary organization was later made
permanent.

Marshalltown. members Of the creden-
tials committee. The chair also APP

an
town. In making the appointments the
chairman remarked that he guessed
both sides of the house were repre-
scented.
The credentials committee reported
all the townships represented. While
the resolutions committee was In ses-
sion Chairman DAILY made a few re-
marks, touching largely upon the trusts
and protective tariff. He eXtolled the
Iowa idea as advanced by the republic

more or less than, democratic idea,
and good because Of that.
The Resolutions.
The resolutions committee reported
as follows:
I'VE, the representatives of the dem
ocratic party of Marshall county Iowa,
In convention assembled. this 10Th day
OF June, 1908. reaf1irm our faith in the
principles of the democratic party as
expressed in Its last national platform;
and be ii
Resolved. That Individual democrats
may differ on the practicability or cor
rectness of some econo,rlc theory as
declared in the platform of the party:
and as the Jefferson idea of democracy
was based on the individual liberty of
the citizen we hold that adherence or
non adherence TO any particular reso-
luton in platform is no test of feal-
ty: but when the democracy In conven-
ton assembled formulates a platform
IL is the duty OF every democrat To ac-
duiesce in that platform as the authorl-
tative declaration of the party until the
next national convention formulates
new platform, and 70 give loyal sup
Port to the candidates of the party.
Resolved, That the dishonesty OF
the postofiice department., becoming
more apparent every dag. calls for the
of all classes; and the
unwillingness Of the president to prose
cute men in high places because OF
their connection with MS party de-
serves the severest denunciation Of all
voters. without respect to party affilia-
ton.
Resolved. That the tariffs sched-
uies should be SO amended. altered and
reform ID 'ha no aid be given bv the
government to monopolies or trusts or
combinations of any character.
True democracy admits of no mo-
nopoly. The private ownership of pub
lie utilities naturally and unavoidably
constitute most intolerab'e monopolies. |
corrupting to public morals no less
than oppressive to Industrial interests.
We, therefore. FAVOR government own
ership of inters tate railways and mu-
nicipal ownership of municipal utili-
ties.
Resolved. That each delegate to the
state convention be authorized to APP
as a unit"
