Boston, Feb. %, 1910.
BoSton--Not only is the Grand Trunk
Railway seeking an outlet at Provi-
dence, but what is even more startling,
it is actually considering using Boston
for the handling OF its import and eX-
port business, which is destined to
grow with leaps and bounds when
once the transcontinental Grand Trunk
Pacific gets into operation. The man
ner in which the Grand Trunk pro-
poses to force an entrance into Boston
is exceedingly interesting and involves
the consideration Of legislation some
80 years old.

mond referred to the statements Of
the Republican candidates during the
last presidential campaign that the
existing tariff rate would be substan-
TALLY reduced in accordance with the
promises contained in the national
platform. Concluding his remarks on
the tariff, he said:
After months of hard work the Re-
publican party, in control of the ma
tional houses Of congress, passed the
most undesirable and vicious piece of
legislation that has been placed on
the statute books during the last half
century. 1t is true that the tariff
bill was so rank that many progress
sive Republicans refused to vote for
it, but that fact does not make the
bill any the less a Republican meas
ure. 1t is now up to the Democrats
and the progressive Republicans to
insist on a revision OF the tariff down
wards in accordance with the man
date of the people,"
Mr.. Hammond said that from his
own experience in congress he should
say that if the same Republican meth
DDS of legislation are maintained in
the lower house in Washington the
people might just as we'll have Joe
Cannon for speaker as anybody else.
The chairman closed his speech by
urging the convention to name as can
didates such men as will stand up for
equal rights for all and special priv
ileges for none.
Secretaries Are Named.
Senator F. L. Glotzbach of Fari-
bault, Richard bakersfield Of Henne-
pin county and Frank Battley of St.
Paul were named as temporary secre
taries and later made permanent
Congressman Hammond then an
nounced that the committee on reso-
lutions would be composed of two
members to be selected by the dele
gates from each congressional district
and three at large to be named by
the chair making tWenty-One in all.
The committees on credentials and
permanent organization were selected
in a similar manner. Before taking
a recess for lunch at 100 p. n. mo
ton was passed declaring it the sense
Of the convention that no nonin2+:cCe

When the convention reassembleu

to the committee on resolutions
which laid it on the table after min
ute's deliberation. Then the platform
was adopted as reported by the COM
mittee.
The nomination of candidates was
declared to be the next business be-
fore the convention. A demand for
roll call of the counties was made and
Aitkin gave way to St. Louis John
Jenswold of Duluth, who had been
frequently mentioned as the possible
nominee for governor, took the plat
form and was greeted with tremen-
dous cheering. Mr.. Jenswold said
that with such man as he intended
to place before the convention the
rights Of the people were sure to be
protected and the special privilege
evil certain to be extirpated. Then
he presented the name of John Lind.
Inspiring Scene Followed.
An inspiring scene of cheering and
shouting followed, especially partici-
pated in by the country delegates.
The men from Ramsey and Hennepin

County Option Turned Down.

County Option Turned Down.
Although Mr.. Lind had long ago de-
clared for county option he will be
obliged to run on an Initiative and
referendum and recall platform,
should he decide to accept the nomi-
nation. The advocates of the county
option plank in the platform were con-
siderably outnumbered in the commit
tee on resolutions and the minority
did not even submit a report advo-
eating their pet measure. There was
turmoil, however, after the platform
had been read by Senator D. D.
Works Of Mankato. Professor Frank
NJ. Anderson of the University of Min
an additional plank to the platform
favoring county option as advocated
by William J. Bryan at the Nebraska
state convention last Tuesday. Then
the excitement started in earnest.
There were all manner of objections
and points of order raised to the mo-
ton. which was finally referred to the
resolutions committee. That body got
together and after a few seconds de-
liberation decided to lay the county
option motion on the table,
1t was half an hour before noon
when Frank A. Day, chairman of the
state central committee, called the
convention to order in these words:
Boys, here we are again in a good
old fashioned, fighting Democratic con-
vention that is not controlled by
bosses and is unacquainted with the
machinery which propels steam roll
er. You have all paid 2.cents mn1ffe
to get here and you would be paying
3 cents had it not been for the efforts
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1910-08-05

Then the excitement started IN earn
est. z. H. Austin Of Minneapoliszof-
fered resolution that, notwithstand-
ing John Lind's eminent fitness for
governor, the convention did not deem
1t wise to insist upon his nomination
for governor. Amid tho widest ex-
citement Chairman DAILY ruled the
resolution out OF order. S. L. Com
stock almost caused a riot with a mo-
ton to have the convention proceed
with the nominations. There was an
avalanche Of amendments to wait for
the report Of the committee on resolu-
tons in accordance with a motion
adopted at the morning session.
Points of order galore were raised
and the chair was powerless to main
tain order. It looked like bedlam had
broken loose. Finally the appearance
of former Governor Joseph w. Folk
Of Missouri diverted the minds of the
excited delegates. Mr.. Folk. was es-
corted to the platform and his appear
ance there was the signal for a pro-
kOuSSQ VI CAECI1u6.
Upon being introduced by Chairman
Daily. Mr.. Folk thanked the delegates
for inviting him to address them and
said:
Opportunity for Democrats.
"There has never been such an op-
portunity for the success of Demo
cratic principles as right now. BY
these principles I mean equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
The Democratic party, if true to it's
high ideals, must stand for men above
money. It is not right or just for
100000 people to be taxed in order
to make few men rich. It is better
to have the wealth of the country in
the hands of all the people than in
the hands of a few"
Mr.. Folk urged unity of action in
enforcing the laws and the most Wig
orous opposition to any efforts to at
tempt to defy them. He said he was
in favor of building up public virtue
and private integrity in order to pro-
duce a religion that has for its ten
tenets the golden rule in politics and
not the rule of gold. In closing, Mr..
Folk said that he expected to be in
Minnesota during the fall campaign,
when he would help to elect the can
didates that would be nominated by
the convention.
When the report of the committee
on resolutions had been read by Sen
ator Works more trouble began. Pro-
lessor Anderson offered his motion
for the county option plank "as advo-
Gated by that jewel of Democracy, W.
J. Bryan, at the Nebraska state con-
vention." Standing on q chair the
professor insisted on being heard amid
the widest yells to "sit down" and
tout of order" It was finally referred

the nomination. A point of order By
3. ~ Stevens, that Mr.: Lind had a.
ready been declared the nominee OF
the convention, was declared to b
we'll taken. Mr.. Winston of Mime
apolis next endeavored to persuade
the convention that Mr. Lind would
not accept the nomination and ho
urged the delegates to not act hastily
until they could get in communication
with the ex-governor and ascertain
whether or not he would consent toI
be the partys standard bearer. Dan
lei w. LAWYER, former mayor OF St.
Paul, next took the platform and said
There is not man here who isl
not in favor of the nomination and
election of John Lind. However, in
view of his repeated assertion that ho
would not accept the nomination We
would not be true to ourselves unless
we received from Mr.. Lind his I'M
qualified acceptance Of the nomination
before this convention adjourns"
Mr.. Lawler then moved that a CON-
mittee of three be appointed by tho
chair to telegraph Mr.. Lind at Port.
land, Ore, and learn If he would &C.
cept the nomination, the convention
to take a recess until D. m. to await
reply.
This course was strenuously OPP
posed by J. NJ. Freeman of Olivia. who
insisted that Mr.. Lind was already
the nominee Of the convention and it
would be useless to waste any moro
time on the matter Mr.. LAWYERS
motion was defeated and the original
motion to declare Mr.. Lind the unanf-
nous choice of the convention was
carried with only a few dissenting
votes
Other Candidates Nominated.
The nomination of candidates for
all the other state offices was then
taken up. Only one name was present.
ed for each office, with the exception
Of Judges O'Brien and Snow for tho
supreme court All we're nominated
by reclamation. Judges C. L. and
Philip E. Brown, two of the candl-
dates for the supreme bench on the
Republican ticket. were endorsed for
election by the convention.
Although the last business Of the
day was the naming of the state CEN
trail committee, it caused another up
roar. Chairman DAILY announced that
he would appoint the members of tho
committee at large, but ex-Judge J.
R. Larson of Minneapolis offered
motion providing for calling together
the convention to fill a vacancy In
case John Lind declined the nomins-
ton. He said it was not right to
leave the selection of the state CON-
mittee in the hands Of one man when
it might be called upon to act in such
an emergency. This was seconded
by James Manahan of Minneapolis,
who amended it so that the state CEN
trail committee be named by the can
didates on the ticket. The original
motion to call the convention togeth.
er in case of a vacancy was declared
out of order as the statutes provide
that the state central committee
should fill all vacancies. The amend
ment offered by Mr. Manahan was
carried and the candidates will have
the selection of the committee. The
convention then adjourned.
