any lands in this state which are
suitable for agricultural use. Such
segregation withdraws these lands
from settlement and taxation and
is agreat injustice to the north
ern portion of our state.
"We believe that municipal ow-
nership of public utilities under
proper management means better
service, lower rates and a wider
distribution among the people of
the conveniences and comforts af-
fected thereby. We therefore
pronounce unqualifedly in favor of
such ownership, not in the distant
future, but as speedily as the same
can be accomplished,
"The primary election system
now in operation in this state must
be permanently maintained and we
favor it's further extension to all
state officers.
"We favor the election of I'm
tied States senators by direct vote
of the people. Through the action
of Republican legislature this
state has already declared in favor
of an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States which
shall so provide. Before such a
measure can be forced upon the
attention of congress thirty states
must take similar action. A large
number has already done so. I'm
til such, election by direct vote is
provided, we favor, as the nearest
approach thereto, declaration by
candidates tor the state legislature
of their preference for United
States senators when such Office is
to be filled Dy their votes. Pur-
suant thereto, and recognizing the
eminent and faithful service of
Honorable Knute Nelson as I'm
tied States senator from this state
we heartily endorse him for reel
ection to his present position and
engage to employ every legitimate
means to accomplish that end.

THE following platform, sug-
gested by Republicans actively in
terested in the welfare of the
party and in the common good has
met the approval of all candidates
to whom it has been submitted:
Nearly one-half of all the lands
in these legislative districts,
amounting to more than three
million acres, is untaxed. A large
part of this untaxed land belongs
to the state.
"We therefore demand that such
agricultural lands be offered for
sale to actual settlers at greatly
reduced prices. Thereby they will
furnish homes for our people and
be placed upon the tax rolls; and
thereby a proper development of
this portion of the country so long
retarded byan unwise policy may
vigorously go on.
"To such development the con-
struction of country roads is a
pressing necessity. These districts
contribute lavishly to the state
treasury through their railroads,
mines and timber lands. We de-
mand in return the appropriation
of sum Justly proportionate for
use to our generous contribu-
tion in the extension and improve
ment of highways, and that when
so available it be wisely and eco
nomically expended.
"We urge the speedy drainage of
state swamp lands that the areas
so improved may thereby become
of real value to the state and be
available for sale and to use and
development by actual settlers,
and that thereby the agricultural
and commercial interests of this
section of the state may be COR
respondingly enhanced.

printers were prone to graft. In

to print a paper but had to quit it
because out of the entire popula-

At the same time they had twen-
ty-one bankers in there and a
