We denounce the arbitrary interfer-
ence by federal authorities in local
affairs as a crime against free insti-
tutors and We especially object to
government by injunction as a highly
dangerous form of oppression by
which federal Judges in contempt OF
the laws of the states and the rights
of the citizens become at once legis-
lator, judge and executive.
| We meet today and for the third
I time, to again pledge our fealty and
to renew our faith and confidence in
the ability and integrity of our match
less leader, William j. Bryan.
Resolved further that we hereby en-
dorse the administration of John A.
johnson, Governor of Minnesota, TO
| the splendid administration he has
given this state, and we point with
/, just pride to the fact that his four
: years as chief executive of this COM
monwealth has endeared him in the
hearts of our people. ~ 10

Sullivan said all he wanted was to
see that some one was properly nam!
ed Mr. Sullivan further moved thai
the chair appoint a county committee
of five
This brought Fred Schilplin to his
! feet again with the protest that the
committee had already been named
There was little wrangle which was
finally smoothed out by the adoption
of motion that the chair appoint
the committee named at the last con-
vention if it appeared that that COM
mittee was regular" and that Zins
| be ''It."
A motion was also adopted thai
