Iican party of the state and nation Tor
accommodating high taxes and the CIV
ing of unequal privileges to the few,
and referring to the reference of Chair
man Buck to the judiciary he took
issue with him and continued:

of Democrats or if we have taken the J9-
dietary out of partisan politics. It Is

its entirety. When we had non-partl-
san bench every man was proud OF It.
Lawyers said the decisions were right
because We had Mltchen ana Illl,iah haatl
there. We haven't had such a bench
since, because the Republican party IN

of this state.
Capt. Harries paid his respects to the
Roosevelt policy in the philippines ana

the Republican party in the country at

beneficence of Providence. Concluding,

"The Democracy of Hennepin and OF
the state-and of Ramsey county

J. R. Corrigan, of Hennepin.

/ The convention got into parlia-
| mentary tangle over the motion OF
| George P. Jones, of Jackson. to name
a committee of one from each congress

the judiciary.
F. F. Price, of Itasca, wanted to
| amend the motion to name the com

Ryrnes. of Meeker, fought the whole
proposal. He urged that the matter OF
left to the convention at large.

to train up and down the state asking
for nominations from a party not then
