4hS DSiIioCrdtS Oh THIS great ana

Sank Centre was represented at
the gathering by two all the time
Democrats: DR.. A. T. Moynihan
and Harry Whitehead and w. M.
Parker, Republican appointed post
master Of this city nearly five years
ago, whose time has expired. No
body has been appointed to sue
coed him. There were other dele
gates from this city.
The Sank Centre gentlemen re-
turned with renewed enthusiasm.
The United Press news gathering
organization sent out the following
story Of the meeting which will be
of interest to Herald readers:
action on controversial organi-
cation problems and proposals to
expand the state central committee
were deferred until July 81 by the
executive committee of the state
Democratic party holding a ratifica-
ton convention here today.
There was some possibility that
action toward adopting the party
platform which is expected to be
aimed at the left-leaning Farmer
Labor platform, will also be defer
red.
THE decision to postpone action
on organization problems came af-
ter a meeting Of the executive
committee last night. It was de-
cided then that meeting Of the
party candidates with the platform
and resolutions committee would
be held in st. Paul July 81.
"The most important organization
problem is settlement of proposals
for fusing forces with the Repub-
licans for the purpose Of defeating
the Farmer-Laborites in the COM
ing fall elections.
Albert Pfaender, New Ulm, CUB
ernatorial candidate in the pri-
mary election, was appointed
chairman Of the platform and res
olutions committee, which held a
meeting following the executive
committee session. John e. Regain,
gubernatorial nominee, was also
made a member of the. committee.
"Pfaender announced that no
progress was made at the platform
committees meeting and another
session was scheduled for 8 a. m.
today Party members, political
observers reported, were, pessimis-
tic regarding the adoption Of a
platform at the present convention.
Fred Schilplin, st. Cloud pub
Usher, was named permanent
chairman Of the ratification con-
vention.
"Schilplin, Einar Hoidale, nomi-
nee. for senator, and Regan, were
among those giving afternoon adj
dresses.
"Hoidale slurred the Farmer-La-
Dor party for the political slavery,
the dictation Of political machines
organized for class advancement;
recounted the 7O-year uphill strug-
gle Of the Democratic party and
urged its continuance in Office un-
It'll completion Of it's new program.
Our people think LAT we have
been watching long enough and
that after 10 years 1t is time that
the other fellow should do some
Of the watching and we should
try our hand at the steering" Hoi-
dale said.
"You and I have enlisted under
the banner and leadership of q
great president. Let US see him
through to the finish"
+ Schilplin gave a more detailed
account Of the party's history from
its beginning in 1S47 with election
Of Henry II. Sibley as first COVER
nor of Minnesota. Schilplin also
outlined the issues Of the fall
campaign as follows:
-Four great issues are foremost
in the state election in November.
One Is the rejection Of the astound-
ing proposal of the dominant party
TO substitute for our present state
government a cooperative common
wealth.
zine second, II a change Of state
administration can be obtained, 10
to substitute business principles
for a spendthrift wasting Of the
Taxpayers money.
THE third is to restore law and
order.
1.-THE fourth is to sustain and
uphold the leadership Of that
greatest Of all modern presidents,
Franklin D. Roosevelt"
