st. Paul, Mimi, May 1.-THE DEM

Endorsed Governor John A. Johnson

the same time by vote of TIE to 146
refused to declare in faoyr of Will

The followers of Mr.. Bryan did not
carry out the threat which they have
so often made during the last ten
days-that they would bolt, and hold
a rump convention If their contests
were defeated before the committee
on credentials or If they were not
able to secure a partial Endorsement
of the leader.
They made sturdy fight and when
they had been overwhelmingly de-
feated, remained quietly In their
seats and made no motion to leave.
Several days ago they had gone to
the length of leasing hall two
squares from the auditorium in
which the convention of today was

Warning Is Sounded at Gov.
efnOfs' Meeting Against
Waste Of Resources
Forests and Soils Must Be
Conserved Else Ruin
Will Follow
Terrific Pace Of Consumption
of Resources Calls for
Restoring Processes

Washington, D. G., May 14.-Start-
ling was the warning sounded today
at the conference of the governors at
the White House of the danger that
confronts the nation in soil waste and
forest depletion. The governors list
ened, and talked, and applauded, but
took no action. This is left for to-
morrow, the last day of the confer
ence, and a plan is afoot to have the
prepared speeches for that day print
ed in the record without reading, in
order that the tine be devoted wholly
to results.
The resolutions committee was in
session all day and will report in the
morning. A supplementary meeting
of number of the governors followed
the days session, and committee
consisting of the governors of Ken
lucky, Missouri and Nebraska was ap-
pointed to bring in a suggestion for a
permanent organization of governors
independent, perhaps, of any other or
ganiZation that may be formed by the
conference.
The president opened that and the
afternoon sessions, which were there
after presided over by Governor John
A. Johnson of Minnesota and Gov.
ernor Deneen of Illinois, respectively.
James J. Hill of the Great Northern
railroad, who led the long list of
speakers, treated the depletion of the
nations resources in a very impress
sive way. He presented conditions
respecting mineral, soil and forest
showing wanton waste in each in
stance, and drew picture of political
chaos when all were gone, wherein
the people would tear down the very
pillars of government. Mr.. Hill be.
lieved such results could and should
be averted by prompt action.
Soil waste and forest conservation
| received expert treatment by Prof T
c. Chamberlain of Chicago and A. A
Long of Kansas City, after which was
evidenced a desire of the convention
to engage in general discussion. The
demand to be heard was insistent
and the same eagerness was manifest
| ed at the close of the afternoon pro-
gram, which included an address by
! former Governor Pardee of California
paper on grazing and stock raising
read for H. A. Jastro of California
who was taken ill during the day
and general observations on land con
ditions in the west by. former Sen
ator Carey of Wyoming.

he began an entertaining talk which

aroused and educated to true condi
| lions in 20 years, and would then as

resources of the country without

platform that while they entertained
affection for and confidence in the
integrity and ability of Mr.. Bryan"
they believed that Johnson was the
man better calculated to bring sue
cess to the Democrats party, and was
first entitled to the support of Min
nesota.
The Bryan men did not make as
great fight before the committee on
credentials as they had declared they
were prepared to make. They did
not seriously contest the vote OF Hem
nepin county, which for some days
they confidently asserted must be
given to them IL they were to remain
in the convention. They were award
ed the delegation from Itasca county
and one-half the vote of Cottonwood
county, or eleven and one-half votes
in all. In all other contests which
they had declared they would make
they either did not appear or We're
defeated.
It was a foregone conclusion that
this would be the result and they
reserved their strength for hght

faithful support to the candidate for
the presidency who the national DEM
ocratic party; in its wisdom shall
select at the convention to be held
in Denver next July.
We commend and indorse honest,
upright and efficient administration
of public affairs of this state during
the past four years. With the CO.
operation of the legislature and other
public officers our wise and able ex-
ecutive has secured the system of
taxation of high merit, public resour-
ces have been conserved, laws have
been enforced and public duties dis
charged with efficiency. The high
protective tariff now maintained by
the Republican party has made pos
sible unlawful trusts and combina-
tons; has destroyed the equilibrium
which should exist between the pro-
ducing classes and is still the chief
rampant behind which predatory
wealth is entrenched.
We hold that while this condition
remains unchanged the best efforts
of prosecuting officers, courts and
juries will be Intellectual to afford
permanent relief against trust domi-
nation.
We, therefore, insist that the tariff
be at once revised to meet conditions
and that the revision be by friends
of the people rather than by friends
of the tariff. The corporate form
Of organization has been freely used
as cloak to hide over-capitalization
reckless speculation and illegal bust
ness methods. Strict supervision and
control of the great Industrial en-
terprises and public service corpora
tons is necessary for the continued

fact should be accepted fully and in
| good faith by those in control of such
industries and in his way industrial
4 peace can be most quickly secured
but until the right of the state and

spective domains do so supervise is
fully established, we declare it to be
