assembled declares its adherence and devotion
to the fundamental principles of the democrat
ic faith, tersely asserted in the words: Equal
rights to all and special privileges to none"
We believe in q tariff for revenue only and in
approaching to that condition of our revenue
laws there should be immediate relief granted
to the people who are now being robbed by
extortionate prices exacted under the shelter
OF the tariff.
We believe that the people of this country
who produce our wealth and pay our taxes and
fight the battles of the republic are entitled to
purchase the goods manufactured In this
country as cheaply as the people who reside
abroad. We denounce ale extortlon inflicted
upon our people under the pr dense of protec-
ton as an outrage upon the consumer and upon
the poor and upon the laboring people who pro-
duce the wealth of this country. We believe
the tariff should be removed from all trust
made goods, and in the removal of all duties on
iron, steel, lumber and coal.
We demand the enactment of such legislation
as will effectually destroy all trusts and the
strict enforcement of all laws concerning the
same, and we denounce the executive of the
state of Iowa for failure to enforce existing
laws.
That We are in favor of such railroad rate
regulation In the state of Iowa as will give
equivalent rates and service to that afforded by
the interstate commerce act and that we are
opposed to the present legislation in force
discriminating, as 1t does, against local iowa
industries, and declare In favor of such legisla-
tion as will give competition to all competitive
points in Iowa with through billing anywhere
In the state.
We demand that our next legisl ture enact a
s-cent passenger fare on railroads.
We are in favor of primary law giving to
the people the selection as well as the election
" all candidates from senator down. so drawn
as to protect all parties.
We favor the election of United States
| senators by direct vote of the people.
Weare in favor of absolute and unqualified
government control Of interstate commerce.
We favor the enactment of such laws as shall
give to all manufacturers and 1obbers in Iowa
the same rights to ship their products and
goods to all points in Iowa as are now given by
the Interstate commerce law to anufacturers
or Jobbers in similar products or goods In other
states.
We believe the politics of our state should be
unbampered by the influence of corporate
power and are in favor of stringent laws

We favor a terminaltax amendment to the

Laborers' Sleeping Shanty
Dynamited.
mo Glue TO PERPETRATORS
THREE MEN KILLED AND THREE
FATALLY INJURED IN A MYs.
TERIoUs CRIME NEAR CHICAGO
VICTIMS WERE GREEK AND
ITALIAN LABoRERS.

Chicago, July 13.-Three men were
blown to pieces, three others fatally
injured and several others badly hurt
by an explosion, which early today
wrecked a shanty in the Mclaughlin
stone quarries at Bellwood, short
distance northwest of Chicago.
There are evidences that the ex-
plosion was the result Of a plot on
the part of people, who are at present
unknown to the police.
The dynamite shed Of the quarry,
which is a considerable distance from
the shanty which was blown up, was
broken open and the dynamite carried
to the building in which number of
laborers were sleeping, and exploded
beneath the structure.
The survivors all declare that there
was no dynamite around their shanty
when they retired for the night.
The explosion was terrific and
aroused the residents for several miles
around, and shattered many panes OF
glass a mile away from the quarries.
The larger part of the body OF one
of the men killed was taken from
tree 100 feet from the place where the
shanty had stood.
Sections of the corpse were found
lying all around the tree. All of the
men killed and injured were Greek
and Italian laborers.
Later in the day the police received
information that led them to believe
that the dynamite might have been
placed under the building at the in
stance of a woman who was jealous
of one of the men who was killed. IL
is known that they quarreled the day
before the explosion and that she
threatened him.

RIGGS HAD MONEY
BRUTAL MURDERER GOT THE
CASH.
Conductor Had Deposited the New
$1,000 Bills He Took From the Dying
Woman in a Strong Box-Had Ring
and Watch.

Minneapolis, July 13.--The last mys-
terry in connection with the National
hotel murder of last Tuesday was ex-
planned today when the safety deposit
box of N M. Riggs was drilled and
opened under orders from the county
attorney. In 1t were found two 81, 900
bills which Miss Ellison was known
to have drawn from the National Bank
of Commerce on the day she was slain
by Riggs. The bills were identified by
the teller, who had paid them out In
addition to the money was a gold ring
which Riggs had torn from the un-
conscious body of his victim and the
watch which she is known to have
worn. Inasmuch as Riggs was last
seen at the safety deposit vaults at
las p. m on the day of the murder.
1t is now certain that he hurried there
after having given Miss Ellison her
death blow. Thence he proceeded to
his house where he spent a part OF
the afternoon, coming down town in
time to take out his train for Elroy.
Wis, where he was arrested and COM
mitted suicide.

desired the motion Withdrawn, which
was done by Mr. McHarg
Nominations then commenced for

county was classed as insurgent but
Gronna and Marshall looked good
enough for him." Senator Crane of
Griggs named II. Bendeke of Grand

both Marshall and Gronna-saying
that they were a good pair to keep
down in Washington at work. Ram
sey also seconded Bendeke.
The secretary called the roll and
ballots were given out to each delega-

Brother.
HE HAD AVENGED HER ruin
GEORGE MITCHELL, WHO HAD
JUST BEEN ACQUITTED FOR
KILLING THE "HoLY ROLLER"
sEDUcER OF HIS 17-YEAR OLD
SISTER, KILLED BY THE GIRL.

Seattle, July 13-Tmmediately after
the arrest of Esther Mitchell, the IT.
lyear-old girl who killed her brother
here last night, orders We're given for
widow of the prophet whose death at
the hands of George Mitchell led to
last nights tragedy. Mrs Creffield,
however telephoned the police where
she was to be found and when taken
to the station frankly admitted that
she entered into a compact with Esth-
er to kill the slayer of her husband.
She will be held as an accomplice
Esther Mitchell shot and killed her
brother, George, shortly after 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the
waiting room of the union station. The
shot was fired just as Mitchell rose to
take the evening train for Oregon. The
brother who was acquitted Tuesday
of killing Franz Edmund Creflield the
leader of the Holy Rollers" dropped
in his tracks. Esther Mitchell was
at once arrested.
The Mitchells, George, Perry and
Fred were sitting with Esther on a
bench in the big waiting room talking
together and apparently on the best of
terms. When the Oregon train was
announced George Mitchell rose and
started forward. His sister stepped to
his side and pressing a revolver close
to his head pulled the trigger before
any one realized what was happening.
Esther Mitchell is the sister, to
avenge whose treatment George shot
Cheffield. She had refused to have
anything to do with her brother since
the shooting. Yesterday was the first
time they had been seen together on
good terms.
Wednesday night Charles Mitchell,
the father of the family, and his
daughter reached a reconciliation. For
some days the girl had refused to see
her father. Hearing that he was about
to return to Illinois, she consented to
an interview at which all of the family
except George was present.
Esther Mitchell and Mrs. CrefIield
widow of the deceased "Holy Roller"
announced their intention of making
Seattle their home. The two women
took small apartments here and sold
their witness certificates to raise
funds.
The three brothers were en- route to
Oregon where they expected to work
Directly after the shooting Perry Nit
