r. r. ODeH of Minneapolis, stirred
up a little excitement by placing
| James j. Hill in nomination for cleo
1 tor at large as opposed to Mr.. O'Con-
nor. He dwelt for time on the good
/ that Mr.. Hill had done for Mime
J! sofa and the northwest and said that
he would occupy the same position
| on the democratic ticket that Thomas
/ Lowry does on the republican.
4 The work of the committee on res
olutions need not take long, as pre-
Gminary draft of the platform has
/ already been made. 1t carries with
4 it an Endorsement Of the national
/ platform and ticket adopted at St.
Louis, and paps particular attention
to the subjects of tariff revision,
reciprocity and increased government
control of railroad rates. A special
appeal is made on these issues, on ac-
4 count of the sentiment existing in
Minnesota.
/ Coming to state issues, the plat
form urges the adoption of the pei
cent gross earnings bill, and calls fo1
increased powers for the railroad and
warehouse commission, so that il
may fix railroad rates within the state
and that it's orders shall be consid
cred as prima facie evidence that the
rate is reasonable. This will have
the effect of putting the rates into eff
feet at once, pending litigation. This
law is urged by the Municipal anG
Commercial league.
Inc PLATFORM calls Tor taxation
amendment to the constitution, which
will permit the adoption of the in
come tax and otherwise equalizing
the tax burdens of the state.
A strong plank is inserted indoors
ing the enforcement of laws agains
! the consolidation of parallel and com
peting lines of railroad, and commit
ting the party to the principle of com
petition.
The republican party is censure,
for the nomination of r. C. Dunn TO
governor and Ray W. Jones for lieu
tenant governor, in the face of til
records against the nominees.
Another plank declares for. th
s principle of a non-partizan judiciary
and condemns the republican part
for trafficking in places on the su
pfeme bench.
