We, the representatives of the demo-

sofa, in convention mbled, do hereby
renew and reaffirm our allegiance..to the
principles enunciated in the national
platform adopted at Kansas City In
1900. We have no apologies or excuses
to offer for having supported William
j. Bryan for president.
We believe that the existence and
growth of the criminal trusts menace
the perpetuity Of American institu-
tions Through unjust legislation
creating special privileges the great
mass of the people Of the nation are
exposed to the rule Of corrupt pluto
racy. NJ relief can be expected from
the insincere administration now in
power, an administration dominated
by tariff protected trusts and eastern
monopolists
We recognize In William Randolph
Hearst one of the most progressive
and fearless democrats in the United
States. In him the democracy would
have leader owing no allegiance to
the predatory wealth of this country,
q leader who is, and always has been,
a staunch defendant of the rights OF
the common people, and we instruct
our delegation to the state convention
to use all honorable means that the
Minnesota delegates to the national
convention be instructed for William
r. Hearst fur president.
We instruct our delegation to the
state convention to support no man for
delegate who was not loyal to the
