none OF it, religious consolation she
abhored, and friends she had none

ADDRESS TO THE DEMO-
GRATIS OF MINNESOTA

ALVIN EOO ~ ll1U DHAO
Gratis OF MINNESOTA
The following address to the
democrats of Minnesota was pub
lished the first of the week. It is
signed by nearly 100 we'll known
democrats of the state. 1t truly
states conditions as they exist, and
the statements cannot be success.
fully disputed. Who is there
that can deny that the selfish in
terests do not want Bryan for
president?-and that is the sum
and substance of the address. It
attacks no one, but states the
firm conviction of the signers that
Bryan should be the nominee, and
is a notification to the country at
large that w. J. Bryan has
friends in Minnesota who do not
intend to be bamboozled or de-
luged. Back of these signers
there is a sentiment to be reckoned
with, and calling names or i'm
pugning motives is not going to
change it. Following is the adj
dress:
''The monopolistic press and
predatory interests of the United
States are making an effort to
defeat, in the next Democratic
national convention, William Jen-
nings Bryan and the principles
which he represents.
"The continuous stream of mis-
representation, and the false as
sumption that the democrats of
the nation have lost faith in the
principles and personality of our
great leader, impel us to declar-
alton of renewed allegiance to a
cause which is best typifed in
MIR. Bryan.
''Believing that he is essential,
in the contest of 1908, that the
Democracy of the nation shall
continue on advanced ground,
that there shall be no retreat,
that what has been already 50
dearly won shall not be lost, it is
our firm conviction that the best
interests Of the American people
demand the nomination and cleo
ton of Will am J. Bryan to the
presidency, as the chief exponent
of the reforms needed in our ma
ton, and to that end we ask the
cooperation of the democrats of
Minnesota.
'The conflict is between reac-
ton and progress. The inau-
ences with selfish interests behind
them, which always have been
inimical to pure Democracy, are
still at work. Let no true Demo-
GRAFT be deceived. In the present
situation no man can be seriously
considered in place of Mr.. Bryan,
if those influences are behind him.
We know what Mr.. Bryan stands
for; he is no experiment. If we
win with him, it will be a victory
worth the winning, a triumph of
the principles we hold dear.
Others may be true; we know him
to be true.
assuming no prerogatives of
leadership; actuated by a desire to
see the democracy party Of pro-
gress; not of negation; believing
in positive principles, not vague
generalities; and fully convinced
that the welfare of the party and
the nation will be best served by
the nomination and election of
the unsullied leader in two great
campai gns, we ask the democrats
of Minnesota again to rally around
the standard of William J. Bryan"
Congressman Liudberah has recon-
mended O. B. Boobar for re.appoiut.

ROW In
HOOSIER'STATE
FIGHT BETWEEN TAo0ART AND
OPPOSITION rs GETTING
RED HOT.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 6.--The
fight for the Craftsmanship Of the Dem
ocratic State Committee has resolved
itself In contest for two out Of three
votes, Stokes Jackson, the Taggart
candidate, and James Kirby Risk, the
opposition candidate, each having ave
votes and three being pledged to
other candidates. AS 1t requires sew
en- votes to elect, the successful man
must secure two OF the votes which
are instructed for other candidates.
Both are claiming election, but there
is a disposition in some quarters to
turn away from them and select an
other man in the interest of harmony.
The difficult task would be to find
someone who would inspire confidence
in the party and at the same time not
be prominently identified with either
side.
