acclamation at the Republi can National Convention in Philadel phia today The platform condensed to plain and comprehensive language is a mainten ance of the gold standard fay or trusts but not too many of a kind as that would hurt trade Restrict foreign im migration to benefit the laboring man and eight hours labor Sorry for you lioers but cant do any more for you Protective tariff of course Rejoice in the Dingley law the course of the ad ministration with Spain ind the Porto Rican tariff Liberal pension laws Still remember that we promised some thing to Cuba but its very remote in our minds and dont bother us about it now When we get full control of everything down there then well dig up that promise We want a canal across Panama bat we wont tell you just where we Avant it nor which speci fic route We rejoice in the acquisition of the Philippines and Porto Rico and approve of the incidents and results of the Spanish American Avar FOR BRYAN AND TOWNE AT KAN SAS CITY It is believed by the members of the Peoples Party generally that no better selection could have been made by them than that which was made at Sioux Falls for president and vice-president The names of Bryan and Towne have a ring tc them that is dear to the American people and especially is this true where they are known I believe these men to be the hope of the nation and on them we should unite all the reform forces yes I will make it even stronger- we will unite all reforms un der the banner of Bryan and Towne and by so doing we can and will sweep the country The test is yet to come There is no doubt but what these men will be nom inated by the silver republican party The question is what will the demo cratic national convention do Will they join with the Peoples Party and the Silver Republican party and select men who are the choice of the people I bjjfieve they will if an effort is put forth to that end There is one argument however that j 3 j Si the democratic cpnvention cannot well overlook and that is that Towne will benominated by two other conventions and it also requires all these forces to elect In the states where the Peoples Party has control they are only too anxious to unite the fprces on this tick et No Democrat who supported Mr Bryan in 596 can refuse to do so now Towne stood on the Chicago platform then and he has not changed Towne can I believe bring many thousand liberal Republicans to our support this fall His location is certainly in a group of states where there is a bright hope of making gains to wit Michi gan Minnesota and North and South Dakota In all of these states we be lievewe have a good chance to win and being in the central west he is in a position to bring as much support as any man from point of location To refuse to nominate Mr Towne we faar will cause muchN feeling among the members of the Peoples Party and Silver Republicans especially with the former since they have in making their nominations selected men who are in every particular competent to fill these honored positions Their action at Sioux Falls was free from partisan ship patriotism took possession of that body of voters and they have displayed a spirit which is unexcelled by any party recorded in history and Ave ap peal to our Democratic friends to meet us half Avay in this matter by making Mr Towne their nominee for the vice presidency With this done Ave believe it Avill be a beginning of new things A new era will be recorded and this epoch Avill be marked as they record the actions of political parties as a di version from the usual customs and a reuniting of the people on common ground for one common purpose arid that of making our government better by rising to a higher -plane in the an nals of American politics Let me urge upon you the necessity of making a strong appeal to our dem ocratic friends who are delegates to stand for Mr Townes nomination It would probably be unwise to demand of them this action but the poAver of persuasion between man and man Avill accomplish mucli and especially is this true betAveen friends The exigencies of the case demand prompt action as we have but three Aveeks in Avhich to perform the very important Avork Ave have before us My brothers let us be equal to the emergency and throw all of our powers and influence into this matter not only by interviews and letters but I believe Ave should assemble at Kansas City in delegations from each state in this un ion for the purpose of meeting and mingling with the delegations from the various states avIio are democrats and show them Ave are exceedingly in ear nest in this matter and if possible to convince them that the hope of a great nation rests upon their actions I be lieve they are patriots and Avill listen to our Avords Avith kinduess and Avhen they have caught up the spirit which prevailed at Sioux Falls Ave Avill all be under one banner shouting for Bryan and ToAvne which means victory for our cause and county REPUBLICANS DISAPPOINTED IN OREGON The Oregon election Avhich occurred on the oth inst does not is known v L r - - JuwwMjralCBSMpgaggrgB Jei aaiSssgi3W bring the en- couragement to the G O P that Avas hoped by them it wotrid Hon J H Davis better known as Cyclone Davis of Texas AAas in Ore gon during the campaign and added much to the interest Incident to the same in writing to J H Edmisten vice chairman of the situation has this to say We have broken the strong holds of the Republicans in this state We elected tAvice the number of legisla tors as compared Avith former elections Ave also elected the district attorney in Portland and will hereafter have an honest count The result in Portland is a decided change in our favor Taking it as a Avhole the fusionists have reason to re joice over the outcome It very per ceptible to the average reader that the Republican papers have been very tame in their reports of the Oregon election The arguments that have constantly been kept before the readers of the op position press has been to the effect that the great advantages given to the Pacific states by virtue of the Avar go ing on in the Philippines and their op portunities to increase in commercial traffic and consequently be personally benefitted does not in this election seem to Avork out according to the in spiration given through Marks News Bureau The voters along the Pacific slope knoAV Avhen they have been kept faith Avith and in expressing their Avill at the polls have gently reminded the present administration of the fact that they are watching the action of Mr McKinley in overriding the Chinese Exclusion Act in landing thousands of Chinese and Japs in the Philippines Avho only have to be reloaded to bring them here as the present administration assumas they have absolute control Wheu it tue rnuippino laborer re- teen cents per day for his labor and those landing there Avill have to enter the labor market asking the same wa ges or underbidding thosealready there it is easy to be seen that the croAvded labor market and the underpaid labor er will at the tirst opportunity change their condition And Avhat is the most natural outcome of this over croAvded condition in these new possessions The answer is they will swarm to the United States like flies and of course tk5 Pacific states Avilll be the first to be overtaken Avith this plague and suffer from this influx of immigration Avhich haA c been half paid as Avell as half fed They come as a menace to our laborers and at once force doAvn tle price of la bor to the leyel of their OAvn condition This Avill partially explain Avhy Oregon has turned a deaf ear to the appeal of the administration and other Pacific states Avill do likewise Avhen the oppor tunity presents itself This question is most alarming to them for the reason they will first feel the effects of it And it is likewise irue this danger is staring the Avjiole country in the face and every laborer and that does not apply only to the man who hires his time to another at so much per day but to all the toiling classes Avho are engaged in legitimate enterprises Avhere his own labor is em ployed as Avell REPEAL OF THE BLANKET BALLOT LAAV The last legislature Avhich AAras repub lican repealed Avhat Avas knoAvn as the blanket ballot laAA This law AA as pas sed by a reform legislature As will be remembered this laAv provided for a circle at the top of the ticket Avith the emblem of the party aboye the circle By making a cross in the circle the vo ter Avas thus enabled to vote the ticket straight If hoAvever he desired not to vote the ticket straight he could make his cross opposite the candidates he desired to vote for as the laAv now provides It has been proven that ful ly ninety -five per cent of the Aoters made the cross in the circle Avhen they had the opportunity Under the pres ent ballot law the names of the candi dates must appear on the ticket in al phabetical order and it has been prov en the candidate AAhose name com mences Avilh a letter near the last of the alphabet does not receive on the state vote by several thousand as many as does the candidate Avhose name com mences Avith a letter near the beginning of the alphabet in this Avay there is a discrimination against those AAhose names come last By making the cross in the circle this is largely overcome There is another bad feature in the laAv and that is iu the cities it requires the clerk to ask each person who ters his note to give his politics This makes it exceedingly obnoxious to many aa 1io are employes as they do not Avant their politics knoAvn This action destroys all of the objects of the Australian ballot Avhich provided for the voter the secrecy he regards as a safe guard in casting his vote without it being known hoAv he voted To the surprise of all the reform forces Governor Poynter signed the laAv Avhich repealed the Uiav Avith the circle at the top of the ticket as Avas passed by our reform legislature the one he signed AAas passed by the repub lican legislature Republicans Are in Favor of Bounties The question of voting bounties sub sidies and bonds has been one of the characteristics of the Republican party they have ever been ready to appropri ate the peoples money or obligate the people to pay the amounts their friends the corporations might ask foi and even in Nebraska Ave have been called upon to meet the efforts of the slick schemer Aho Avould conceive of some neAV plan or idea that could not be car ried Avithout assistance or some other locality was bidding against this or that place for some new enterprise and they Avere Arilling to raise so much moneA in order to secure the coA eted prize This is the Avell knoAvn record of the Republican leaders in each coun ty or place Avhere these emergencies Avere to be met The Republicans Avere successful in getting a law passed which- provided for a bounty to be paid to the sugar beet grOAvers and manufacturers by the state and after doing so the sugar beet manufacturers were the principal grow- ers as the crop of beets could not be used only as the manufacturer might see fit The following years the reform forces of the state succeeded iu electing the legislature and they Avere not in favor of voting the peoples money to these parasites and therefore refused to make appropriations to meet claims that had been filed with the state audi tor amounting to about one hundred thousand dollars and this reform legis lature of 1897 looked upon the laAv as being dangerous and repealed the same To the great surprise of the reform forces when GoAernor Poynter was elected and in his first message to the legislature he recommended the pay- inent of the amutint abovre mentioned ceiAHjs the magnificent sum of six to I This request A as made to a Republican J v vrtsaas j - - iSaBgr J L a 1JSLL yygr ju - wp piww - - - - legislature and they had the votes to pass the bill and had the assurance the governor Avould sign the same but with the fight that Avas put up against the appropriation by the reform forces the Republicans concluded it would be bad politics and they refused to -give it the support it required The Best Men Must be Chosen For the Legislature As the time approaches for the open ing up of the campaign Ave become more and more interested in knoAving Avhat the result Avill be We have looked forward to this time since the day aftdr the election Avhen Mr Bryan Avas defeated in 1890 It was believed then and nothing has transpired since to change that conviction that through fraud which was perpetrated by de signing persons AA as McKinley elected president of the United States It has been substantiated beyond a doubt that the great moneyed interests of the country most liberally contributed to a fund for that purpose and it is known that this fund was most lavishly dis tributed by and under the direction of one Avho since that time has been hon ored for his services Avith the United States senatorship The election of tAVO United States senators by the votes of the next legis lature Avill greatly add to the interest of the campaign Avhile Ave elect all the state officers together Avith six congress men making it absolutely necessary that the reform forces of this state be prepared to meetr the emergency wheir it comes We must first make such nominations in all cases as Avillmeet Avith the approval of the parties A fair and equitable division among the reform parties is necessary and no one can object to this The greatest fear Ave entertain is in securing men iii the various representa tive and senatorial districts Avho Avill be strong Avith the people for it must not beoverlooked that our majority in many of the districts that are consider ed safe are small and any district in Avhich the majority does not reach over 200 should be placed in the doubtful column likeAvise if the Republicans have carried a district by less than 200 Ave should then consider Ave have a good fighting chance to elect in such a dis trict providing Ave make strong nomi nations The result Avill be Avith this class of legislators that Ave Avill be able to pass some good laAvs Avhich are badly needed and repeal others that are very obnox ious If Ave elect the legislature we have Avon the fight Yes I Avant to impress upon the minds of our people that with 13 candidates distributed o er the state as they are it is the most potent factor in the campaign They are the bulwark in the contest They are able to giAre to the state and congressional ticket more assistance than can possibly be given by the latter The State Committee of the Peoples Party A Good Cotiffli tilctllcine It speaks Avell for Chamberlains Cough Remedy Avhen druggists use it in their own families
