CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

IVES. the Republican platform may
go ringing up and down the land,
= as Senator Flint dutifully says it
will, but 1t won't ring out the fact
that 100000 children who should be at
school are at work in factories. mines,
mills and sweatshops. Fathers and
mothers. does this mean nothing to
you?
It won't ring out the fact that labor
is fleeing from the United States so
fast that outward bound steamers are
crowded for the first time In history.
1t won't ring out the fact that thou
sands of homeless men, women and
children are. sleeping in New York
parks. All are penniless. All are too
poor to pay for lodgings. Some have
never known anything but lodgings,
but many others have had homes from
which they have been evicted in con-
sequence of Republican prosperity and
consequent inability to pay rent. Nay,
more: Many of these unfortunates will
lose their votes at the presidential cleo
ton. They won't have any residence
from which they can vote. After con-
ditions produced by Republicanism
have robbed a man of home or lodg-
ings, Republicanism also robs him of
the power to protest against the rob-
berry by registering and voting.
It won't ring out the fact that work
ing men who can afford to leave the
that eastern railroads and other large
employers of labor are beginning to fear
a shortage in the labor supply should
conditions arise which will warrant a
brisk demand.
It won't ring out the fact that there
has been such great increase in the
number of tramps that the tramp prob
lem has become serious enough to war
rant governmental attention. The plat
form on which Mr.. Taft will run says
nothing about the tramp problem and
suggests no way of solving it. The
tramp army is being recruited chiefly
from native Americans. Aliens are
leaving the country, but natives have
no other land to which they may flee.
DR.. Leander Trowbridge Chamber
lain, vice chairman of the immigration
department of the National Civic fed
Grafton, the foremost expert on the
subject of immigration and emigration,
to whom we are indebted for the facts
and figures on which we base these
comments, says in spite of the COM
plants that swarms of aliens have
come to the United States in the last
decade, the fact is that LESS THAN
THREE MILLION have been added to
our population In that time. This year,
up to this date, more than five times as
many foreign-born persons have left the
United States as have entered the coun-
try. And So per cent of all the Migrants
committed are native born. Yet, in
spite of these facts, we are confronted
by the equally 6emonstrable fact that
the United States, industrially speak
ing, is still a most prosperous country,
that there is enough and to spare for
a much greater population than the
present, which, under our system,
with all Our resources, ingenuity.
talent, wealth, enterprise and food pro-
duction, we cannot support. To the
presidential candidate Of the Republi-
can party we look for an explanation
of this extraordinary, fantastic and
paradoxical condition, and we hope
that when asked "WHY?" he will be
prepared to make better answer than
God knoWs!"

editor May engaged in disgusting
every fair minded and honest German
who reads the St. Cloud Nordstern.
It has long been a mystery why such
an able and farsighted business man as
Frank Zins allows this nuisance to
exist. It isn't certainly for business
reasons. It must be for reasons which
do more credit to Mr.. Zins' kindness
of heart and charitable disposition
than to his business sense Nothing
else can explain why the editor of the
Nordstern continues week after week
to produce balderdash indicative of
senility and which can only bring
forth expressions of pity or disgust
from the readers. The Nordstern goes
out of its way in it's last issue to warn
the German speaking people of
Morrison county against the editor of
The Herald. The editor of the
Herald might have invested thirty
cents in securing Editor Mays good
Opinion-we understand it has been
secured for not much more-but it
would be a waste of money. The
German speaking people of Morri son
county are not the kind who allow
themselves to be Influenced by such as
May. The editor of the Nordstern
has so far departed from and fallen
below every ideal dear to the Teu'
tonic race that he perhaps hardly
realizes the contempt and the scorn
which his efforts meet among the
great bulk of his readers. We
apologize for giving this much space

of interest here, where John ..
Sullivan is we'll known. Mi. Sullivan
was the leader of the Parker forces in
the Sixth district in 1904, and is
known to be one of the most
influential men in Stearns county
The Journal Press says.
j. D. Sullivan is claiming Stearns
county for William Jennings Bryan
argument with the Times reporter and
in the presence of a representative of
the Journal Press, today stated
:'Stearns county will undoubtedly go
for Bryan at the coming convention.
The johnson boom in this locality
seems to be fzzling out rapidly and
the Bryan boom is taking its place
In every section of the county you will
find that Bryan strength is increasing
daily. The people recognize him as
the only logical candidate for
president and believe that they will
support him strongly.
Governor johnson, although l
admit he is good man, was put up
by the corporations to defeat Bryan.
His own right hand men have
admitted that they had no show of
securing his nomination, but are
simply trying to defeat the Nebraska
man. The situation this year is the
same as it was four years ago. The
interests put up the name Of Judge
Parker simply to defeat Bryan. After
they secured his nomination they left
him in the lurch offering no support
whatever. I believe that the same
plan is inspiring the movement in
favor of johnson this year. I was
taken in four years ago and supported
Parker. This year I believe I am
with the right man. :.
when the convention is held here
you will be surprised at the strength
shown by the Nebraska man.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN ST.
CLOUD.

st. Cloud Journal Press, Monday !:
The meeting Of the johnson club of
Stearns county which was held at the
council rooms Saturday night, was an
awful fizzle. Only ten Johnsonites
were present, J. E. c. Robinson, Math
Neurenberg, c. F. Ladner, C. F.
Macdonald and Fred Schilplin, the
leaders of the local movement, COM
posed one-half of the meeting. Chair
man Ladner called the meeting to
order and gave the excuse for the slim
attendance. Inasmuch as no mistake
had been made in announcing the
session the blame was put on the
weather. After some discussion it
was decided that. nothing could be
done with such a small attendance, so
an adjournment was taken until
tonight. Those present were requested
to use all their influence in securing
democrats to attend the meeting. It
was impressed upon them that If the
johnson club turned out to be a fzzle
it would be death blow to the
governors interests in this county.
The fact that the attendance at
Saturday nights meeting was smaller
than at the first one held has some
Slku1uC<2IC0. Az GIlc session C0or0
were II present and this number
dwindled to ten at the second session
One of those who attended the first
meeting stated today that as soon as
he learned that c. F. Macdonald was
going to run the Stearns county John
son campaign he was going to pull
out. He believed that this was the
reason for Saturday nights 6zzle.
The meeting which is to be held
tonight has poor prospects and unless
some tall hustling is done the johnson
club will have to give it up as bum
job. If predictions amount to any
thing the faithful five will find them
selves in position where they can
hold a secret meeting.
That the city of st. Cloud is becom-
ing rapidly Organized is noticeable.
Many of those who have been active
supporters of the governor are now
switching to the support Of the
peerless leader of Nebraska and intend
to support him for the presidency.

JOHNSON AGAINST BRYAN.

JOf1N0ON ACTA1NOl bh I AN.
Wheelock's Weekly, Dem, Fergus
Falls: Events of the last fortni ght
show that Gov. Johnson's candidacy
for the presidency is no mere brain
chimera. It is an energetic pro-
paganda, backed by some of the
shrewdest brains of the United States.
Who are these backers2 They are the
men who fear and hate Bryan-chiehy
the men of the east, whose business
interests are endangered by the
presence in the white house of such
men as Roosevelt or Bryan or
LaFollette or Folk. They do not
wish real leaders in power. They or
their kind supported Hayes against
Tilden, and Hancock with his
towards phrase of "the tariff a local
ISSUE against Garfield. They
supported Parker against Roosevelt.
They will support anybody against
Bryan.
The fact that they are mistaken in
their estimate of Gov. johnson does
not change the situation, which is
again the struggle of privilege
which is displayed by the benefciaries
of privilege in the johnson cause
shows the deep seated fear they have
of Mr.. Bryan. Four years ago they
would not have championed q western
man like Gov. johnson. 1t is fear
and desperation that make them do it
now. There is johnson headquarters
in New York city, established by such
men as these. They have written him
ten thousand letters in the past two
months. Their spokesman, the New
York World, has heralded him as the
most hopeful savior of the country
against Bryan. The oracle of Louis
vile has picked johnson as his dark
horse-against Bryan. The Grays and
Chambers have swung into line for
him-against Bryan From Thos
Ryan Of New York to Dick O'Connor
of St. Paul, spoilsmen all, the chorus
rises that Mr.. Bryan must be defeated
if possible.
And where stands the governor7 Is
he also against Bryan? He was not
a few months ago. He SAID then he
was loyal friend of Bryan and hoped
and expected to see him nominated
All democrats in Minnesota cheered
hi m for that. It was an earnest and
loyal utterance, such as his friends
had learned to expect from him. Is it
true today? The fact that the
governors intimate friend, F. b.
Lynch, is in charge of a bureau of
publicity in his interest in Chicago
gives answer. The governors ambi-
tions, fostered by injudicious counsel,
have led him into a position false to
himself and false to the interests of
the people. And the pity OF it is that
the effort is foredoomed to failure.
Mr.. Bryan's nomination is as well
assured as anything in the future car
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1908-05-01

It is conceded that Bryan's friends
will have a majority in the Denver
convention, anyhow. And that
majority elects the presiding officer,
appoints committees, adopts the
platform, and decides on the
admittance of contesting delegates
That last point is of interest, because
the methods in the New York conven-
ton were so rank that there is likely
to be contest from that state.

from that state confirm the telegram

always an opponent Of Bryan, says
that the convention should instruct for
Bryan. Information of this kind does
not appear in the Minneapolis Journal
OF Tribune, for obvious reasons.
