Dental nomination in 1908 If drafted" He was
glad that unprecedented discoveries of gold had
taken the money question out OF politics But /
want you TO know" he said, that our arguments
on the money question advanced IN 1896 have been
Vindicated, not by the Republican party, but be
cause God Almighty took pity on the poor people
of the world and opened up TO them vast store
houses of gold"
He attacked the "imperalistic'' policy of the Re-
publican party and said the experiment had Al
ready cost the people enormous sum of money
He referred to the Philippine government as a
carpet bag government, held in place by a stand
ing army. He contended that the United States
instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars
the Philippines. should spend It in retaining
arid lands at home.

Mr. Bryan declared that President Roosevelt
should not be held responsible for the present
financial strngency. He placed the blame on
wall Street gamblers" He made no pointed
reference to the next Democratic platform. =

Adjt Gen. Wood will leave for the scene OF
trouble early today to look over the ground.
From 5000 to 1000 railway and other em-
ployes have also been affected by the strike.
The determination of the governor to
make the visit followed the receipt from
Sheriff William Bates of st. Louis county
of this message:
Come to Duluth, visit the range and ap-
prise yourself of the conditions, so that II
a call for troops comes you will know what
to do"
He said the strike was big proposition
and, If there should be an outbreak OF any
kind, it would be beyond his control even
with the large force of deputies he had as
sembled.
F. b. Kellogg, attorney for the steel
trust interests heard of the sheriff 8 tele-
gram and went to call on the governor
He did not present any request Tor troops,
but did talk the situation over. Gov. john
son said today:
II am going, at the request of the sheriff,
to look over the situation and acquaint my
self with it, / hope the strike will be set
tied and if there Is anything l can do in
the way of mediation l will gladly use my
best efforts.
Il do not anticipate call for troops.
Such action would not be necessary and 1t
will be very unfortunate"
AT Eveleth, Mimi, 800 strikers formed a
parade and marched out to the mines and
endeavored to stop work. After the for
eigners fled from the scene the Americans
at work refused to quit. But when rocks
and other missiles began to rain they de-
cided to join the strikers.
Hundreds of persons have already left
Eveleth. fearing that violence will come.
