PONTOIR, Secretary, Whereas, Bolioving in the eternal principles of democracy, and having an abiding faith in the high destiny of tho party, Bolioving, That it seeks to confer upon man tho largest liberty, the greatest good, and tho surest happi ness. That its aims are to build up tho great interests of the many, car for the weak, and protect them from tho strong hand of injustice. Believing in the fixed and steady principles of progress maintained by our party and her leaders for years, wo hail with delighted hearts her action in nominating tho Honorable Woodrow Wilson for president of tho United States a man whoBe pure character, profound learning and patriotic devotion to his country en titles him to tho earnest and ardent support of every democrat within our city and state. We fool that in the naming of a man so eminently fitted to fill this, tho most exalted station within the range of human ambition, that tho democratic narty has performed a duty that will re ceive the approval and support of all citizens, in all sections, and by all classes, regardless of parties or creeds. We gladly extend to our party and her candidates the hand of a sincere ,and grateful people. We realize that by years of conse crated efforts our distinguished fel low citizen, W. J. Bryan, was largely instrumental in shaping the policy and proclaiming the platform of principles that gives to the people so much hope. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That this club does here by heartily Indorse the Honorable Woodrow Wilson for president and tho Honorable Thomas R. Marshall for vice president of the United States. Bo it further Resolved, That wo indorse tho ac tion of tho convention in the adop tion of tho platform of principles, conserving the will of the entire people. Bo ft Resolved, Further, that we hearti ly indorse the action of our candi date for president, in the selection of a campaign committee free from the taint of the professional boss, who in tho past has used the party organization to serve the special in terest he represented. The people, too often deceived, have grown sus picious. The announcement that this evil is to be eradicated, and that the campaign is to be conducted along lines consistent with tho ideals of democracy, in plain view of the whole people lifts from off the hearts of tho people of the country a cloud of deep depression. The unfettering of our party from theso conscienceless- vampires in spires us with new hope, and plants afresh in tho hearts of the people a comforting faith in tho democratic ' FREDERICK DUNHAM, Chairman.

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Frederick A. Pike, St. Paul attor ney and warm supporter of William Jennings Bryan, has been appo ntod ofmPthrftaryMJPreSldfnt and organizor of the Minnesota Federation of Democratic Precinct clubs. A char ter for the new state organization was sent to him recently from the headquarters of tho national federa tion at Washington and he will take up the work of state organization at once in preparation for the fall cam paign. x'am The selection of the St. Paul man as head of the state organization was urged by Bryan democrats 0 Minnesota because of his active efforts in behalf of Bryan four yeals ago when Fred B. Lynch, national committeeman, was directing ihi presidential campaign of Governo? Johnson At that time Pike was ac tive in the organization of the Bryan Volunteers and won the friendship pf Bryan and other progressive democrats. He had also beefact ve in the campaigns of 1904 and 1900 . Spr Robert, L, Owen of Okla- aomarcnairman: of the committee 6n'l Si15011 nd ntl01 President d the federation, wrote to Mr. Pika several month ago urging him to take charge of tho work of organi zation ia Minnesota Tho St. Paul man held the matter in abeyance U"UI " " oauimore convention when he replied that he was willing to accept. b The Federation of Democratic Precinct clubs is 'a comparatively new organization projected by pro gressive democrats at Washington with tho approval of Bryan, Champ Clark, Woodrow Wilson :.nd other prominent democrats. It contem plates the formation of clubs of pro gressive democrats in every precinct in tho United States without affilia tion with the regular party organi zations. Particularly must the clubs be divorced from the regular party committees, when the latter are com posed of reactionaries, is the advise eiveu in tne circulars sent out from national headquarters. Mr. Pike said, However, that the purpose of the organization was not to antag onize the regular organizations but to co-operate with them whenever possible. As president of the Minnesota state federation Mr. Pike is autho rized to choose a staff of dtate offi cers and county presidents to his own liking. Particular stress is laid by national officers on the impor tance of choosing only known pro gressives as heads of the county or ganizations. The organization in Minnesota will be under way before the end of the month. It is planned to hold a rally after the organization is com pleted and to invite William J. Bryan or some other progressive democrats to deliver an address.
