| VAN SAINTS ADMINISTRATION
is CORDIALLY ENDORSED
We cordially endorse and commend
the able, efficient and fearless admin
istration of Governor Samuel R. Val
SAINT, and the people are to be con
graduated for the calm and patriotic
manner in which he has espoused the
cause of the people against the rail
way merger and trusts.
We are firmly of the belief that com
| petition between the railroads of this
state would be more beneficial to the
general public than the consolidation
of said railroads and, with due appre
citation of the Importance of the un
dertaking, we thank the president OF
the United States and governor Ol
this state for the timely anti-merger
litigation in the interests of the people
which was brought to such success
full conclusion in the supreme court.
Resolved, That we express anew
| our confidence in the distinguished
ability, high character and valuable
public services of both our United
States senators, Knute Nelson and
Moses E. Clapp, and appreciate the
! fact that, during their career in the
| senate, they have reflected high honor
upon the state and nation. We re-
! joice in the fact that Minnesota's SEN
ators stand among the strong men of
the senate and that their ability and
Industry have given them an estab-
lished position in that body, and
Resolved That it is the sense and
choice of this convention that Senators
Knute Nelson and Moses e. Clapp sue
ceed themselves in the United States
senate, believing that the best inter
ests of the people in this state will be
| best subserved thereby, and
Whereas, The term of Moses E.
Clapp in the national senate expires
March 4, 1905
Therefore, resolved, That we hereby
present him to the incoming legisla-
ture as the candidate of the Repub-
lican party of this state for United
States senator and we hereby nomi-
nate him to succeed himself and
pledge the support of the Republican
party Of Minnesota to that end
WORK OF CONGRESSIONAL
DELEGATION APPROVED.
The Republican party of Minnesota
nvo1
state in congress, is proud of their
ability, courage, independence and ex-
perience in shaping legislation, caring
for the interests of our commonwealth,
insisting upon the rights of it's mem
bers in maintaining the interests of
the producing classes of the West.
bringing added glory and honor to the
state they so ably represented.
We believe that the large corpora
tions commonly called trusts" should
be regulated by law and supervised
both in their organization and opera
ton that their tendencies may be
checked and their evil practices pre-
vented and insist that they shall be
regulated and controlled as to prevent
monopoly and promote competition
ard in the fullest measure subserve i
c1Au dON duCe Lie SOOO.
We believe in the doctrine of pro-
lection to American Industries as set
forth in the national Republican plat
form OF 1904, and believe in reciprocity !
as defined and advocated by William ,
Mckinley and James G. Blaine. !
The veterans of the Union armies
deserve and should receive the best ;
treatment and generous recognition, ;
and they should be given the prefer
ence in the matter of employment and
they are entitled to the enactment of
such laws as are best calculated to
secure the fulfillment of the pledges
made to them in the dark days of the
country's peril. We should ever be
of the fact that in every ma
t1onal emergency the best and truest
men in our country enlist. We will
also remember that every president
since the time of Lincoln was an ex-
soldler with the sole exception of one
democratic PRESIDENT and that it is
our duty to literally pension the de-
tenders OF our country and their wild
oWs and ornEans and we recommend
that provisions for the veterans wives
be provided at the soldiers home in
order that they may spend their last
laws together.
We urge legislation that will expe-
lite the construction of the isthmian
canal, in order that our commerce may
De extended in peace and our country
protected in war, and that our ships
nay compete with our railroads.
FAVOR UNIFORM SYSTEM
OF PERMANENT ROADS.
We favor a uniform system of per-
nanent roads for the counties of this
tate and urge the adoption of such
modern road laws as will equitably
the cost and provide intelli-
,ent supervision in their construction. I
We believe that system of good Y
Dads is an important factor in the de- S
elopment of this state and that the S
Material interests of the community
would he benefited by the expenditure |
# liberal share of the public funds a
n that direction; that the common
Dads, being the property of and for i
he benefit of all the people, should 4
re paid for by all the people, to that c
