Ostrom, War ren. The democratic state I am advised by your committee that I am tne nominee of this convention lor the high office of governor of this great commonwealth. While this action was not wholly unexpected, I can say in all candor and all truthfulness that It was unsolicited and unsought. I have never been a candidate for this honor, but, yielding to demands of friends and the party, I consented to the use of my name. I am not unmindful of the great honor which the nomination conveys, and I am not ungrateful for the great distinction you have conferred upon me. Whether this nomination shall bring de feat or success will depend upon the peo ple. But as a convention you could not pay an Individual a higher compliment than you have paid me. It Is the tribute of a people who are today for honest gov ernment, who stand for the right of the common people. In thanking you for this honor I beg to say that I accept this nomination with all of its honors, its cares and its re sponsibilities, and I promise you In return for your confidence that I shall enter this campaign with all the vigor, energy and enthusiasm that I possess. I believe in the constitution of our country and our state, and I believe now, and always have, I equal rights for all and special privileges for none. I believe the consolidation of competing railway lines unholy and contrary the good of our great state. The so-called merger was a crime against the laws of Minnesota, and If the present executive of Minnesota Is entitled great credit for any special service it was for his uncompromising and unyielding: war uphold the dignity of the law in that re spect. I am opposed to all combinations made for the restraint of trade and the restric tion of competition. I believe our coun try should see the wisdom of breaking: down tne geographical barriers which now ipataiogue and^fuli particulars. rasas. *M? ENTHUSIASM AND HARMONY j. MARK DEMOCRATIC COUNSELS ?7%e &/afe Convention Names Its Ticket by Acclamation arf Cheers John A.Uohnson to the ifc/f0The Platform. convention nominated the foregoing ticket yester day afternoon in less than three hours, and after a little tilt over the plat form, adjourned in time for supper, and evening trains for homo. The ticket was named with harmonious action all the way down the line, the only semblance of trouble being over the nomination of Judge Lovely, which was opposed by John T. Byrnes of Litch field. He was overruled, and the non {artiza ticket won by an overwhelm ng_ vote. The first thing in order at# the after noon session was the nomination of presidential electors. Each district sent up a name, and the two at large were named from the floor. After Swan Turnblad of been named for one- oMinneapolis the places,had B. Odell created the sensation of the day proposing the name of James Hill. L, The temper of the convention was shown in uproarious cries of "no._ which interrupted the Odell speech. T. O'Connor of Renville had already been placed i nomination, and i the ques tion had come a vote there would have been seen the unique spectacle of a great railroad president defeated by a modest country banker.v The serious situation was happily relieved by O'Brien of St. Paul, who withdrew Mr. Hill's name, saying that Mr. Hill was entirely out of politics and could not be prevailed on to accept such a place. Nominations for governor were then reached, and motion Frank A Pay the roll counties -was called for nominations. Aitkin county was called, but gave way to Watonwan, and W. S. Hammond of St. James took the platform, making a brief but eloquent speech, presenting the name of John A. Johnson. The mention of Johnson's name brought rousing cheers. Second ing speeches were made by Frank Brady of Minneapolis, T. J. McDermott of St. Paul and Martin Hughes of Hib bing. The nomination was then made by arising vote, and a committee sent to escort the nominee to the platform. Cheers greeted his appearance, and the delegates all rose to their feet to salute him. Mr.\Johnson spoke as follows: Mr. Johnson's Speech. prohibit the free commercial relations which" should exist between United States Americans and Canadian Americans, and thus permit the development of the great empire lying along the Canadian border and make greater the commercial cities of the north Star'" state. Private monopoly in our own state and in the nation. should be forever broken down, and the rights of all the people maintained. I would not anticipate, the platform of this convention, but believing that the gross earnings tax' on railroads should be Increased to 4 per cent, I trust you will speak I no^ uncertain cannot deny that I have kept the faith." J. R. Corrigan of Minneapolis pre sented the name of F. G. Winston for lieutenant governor, and it was sec onded by Pierce Butler of St. Paul. Mr. Winston was named by acclama tion ,and also escorted to' the plat form, where he paid a fine compliment to the head of the ticket, and promised to give hiS best efforts to the campaign. John E King of Red Lake Falls was nominated for secretary of state by T. D. O'Brien. He was brought to the platform and made a short speech of acceptance. Lars M. Rand of Min neapolis nominated Thomas Jefferson McDermott of St. Paul for attorney general, and the magic of the name caught the convention, Which insisted on a speech from tlie candidate with. the democratic name. Byron J. Mo sier of Stillwater was placed in nomin ation for state treasurer by Major J. M. Bowler. The name- of Frank Zins of St. Cloud was also presented, but withdrawn, and Mr. Mosier nominated by acclamation* Non-Partizan Judiciary. After considerable- parliamentary fencing it was decided to appoint a committee of nine to recommend nom inations for the judiciary, one from each congressional district. This com mittee was announced as follows: First district, F. D. Meighen, Albert Lea second, Knox, Jacksonthird Ju lius A Coller, Shakopeefourth Pierce Butler, chairman, St. Paul fifth. Or ville Rinehart, Minneapolis sixth, D. Sullivan, St. Cloud seventh, L. A. Puree, Morris eighth, Fred L. Ryan, Duluth: ninth, John L. Townley, Fer gus Falls. This commitee reported an hour later. The report was presented^ by Pierce Bitler as chairman. He said: First, we are unanimously in favor of a non-partisan judiciary, second, we recom mend the nominations of C: L. Brown and J. L. Lovely, prent supreme court jus tices, to succeed themselves. We recom mend C. 0 Otis of Ramsey county to be nominated for the term beginning Jan. 1, 1906, and John Lind of Hennepin county tc be nominated for the term beginning Ja n. 1. 1905. "The nomination of this judicial ticket will mean 15,000 additional votes secured thruout the state for John A. Johnson for governor," con tinued Mr. Butler. "As to John Land's nomination, I can say that be fore a gathering of representative dem ocrats of some fifteen counties, John Lind asserted that, in case the state convention nominated a strong ticket, he would consent to take the nomina tion for the supreme bench. Mr. Chair man, I move the adoption of this re port and the nominations as recom mended." Before the motion was put, John T. Byrnes of Litchfield stepped to the front the hall and moved, a repre senting the desires many lawyers, that the name of John A. Lovely bo stricken from the report of the com mittee. Charles Dart of Litchfield seconded Byrnes' motion. I twas put to vote and voted. down with a will perhaps because many present knew that Byrnes was but recently suspend ed from the bar for two years for ques tionable dealings in his practice, by a ruling of the court of which Justice Lovely is a member. It was considerably after 6 o'clock when the resolutions committee report ed. Frank Larrabee battled for half an hour against the clause providing for a gross earnings tax, and the plat form was finally adopted as follows: GOO PIANOS When you are through looking at cheap trash, when you have run down all fake adds, when you are convinced it Is better to pay a legitimate price for a legitimate piano from a concern that does a legitimate business, then call on us. FAIR WEEKAll sorts of fake goods are offered for the benefit of out-of-town buyers. It is in pianos as any other manufactured article you go to a hardware dealer, he will sell you a hammer for 15c, another one may cost you a dollar you may buy a saw for 25c, another same size may cost you $3.00. It is as much sense for you to buy your daughter a $125 piano as it would be for a carpenter to go to his work with a 15c hammer and a 25c saw. It is quality, not quantity, that counts when you buy a piano. Our pianos are the kind your banker, lawyer, doctor and your foremost-business mto a *e ufeing. Our pianos have for more than 5 0 years been leaders among high grade pianos, endorsed by the greatest living artists. We are the wholesale distributors for one of the largest and wealthiest piano manufac- turers in the world. Buy direct and save all middlemen's profits that is the right way to buy, and will make a high-grade piano cost you but little more than a cheap rattle trap, serviceable for a short.time only. Our system of payments is easy you have the piano to use all the while saving money to pay for it. In other words, you are playing while paying. Some snaps in used pianos: Chase Bros. Grand, ebony case, $350 Kra- nich & Bach, full size, $190 good square piano, $5 Organs, $5 to $15. We pay the freight any distance to 600 miles on new goods. Call or write for The Platform.

We approve the bold and clear demand in the national platform for the revision of the tariff, we urge tariff conventions with Canada, ar.d we especially demand that the tariff on coal and. lumber be a once abolished. We cordially confer in the motion to equip with adequate powers the interstate commerce commission that it may estab lish just and reasonable rates both to re lease citizens from extortions and to pro tect them from discrimination by which chiefly the trusts overcome competition, and by favor of the tariff, fatten on the community. That justice may be speedy, decisions of this tribunal should have force im mediately pending appeal. Private monopoly must be extinguished for the independence of the individual and for the safety of the republic. Efficient control Will either compass its extinction or prepare the way for the only remain ing alternative, public ownership. W demand that the state railroad com mission, -which is clothed -with ample au thority to put into effect just rates, shall exercise in their full vigor the powers con ferred on them by law. The law forbidding merging of compet ing lines of railway should be enforced against every offender. We demand a readjustment of distribu tion rates that will do away with discrim ination against Minnesota shippers in fa vor of shippers from outside states. Contributions by public service corpora tions of money to political campaign funds can only be made for the purpose of re ceiving or retaining privileges or immuni ties detrimental to the public weal. And such practice now scandalously general is inimical to fair legislation, fair interpreta tion and fair administration of the law. the democratic party therefore pledges itself to the enactment of laws prohibiting such abuses. We are in favor of the adoption of the constitutional amendment permitting the passage of a law Increasing the gross earnings from 3 to 4 per cent. We favor the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. We believe in the right of labor to organize, and condemn as un-American any denial of such rights. Believing that the Judiciary should be removed from the turmoil and. trading of partisan politics, we demand of the legislature the enactment of such laws as shall Insure the selection of judges with out regard to party. W demand Of our public servants equal enforcement of the laws, and we hold the candidates of our opponents to be judged on their records by which they have been found wanting. We declare that it is only too plainly apparent that the railroad and lumber in terests of Minnesota completely captured the late republican state convention and dictated Its nominees. We lay upon ourselves the duty of high fidelity to the claims of citizenship, and summon to join us in defending these principles all men who love loyalty to the law and to the community. ^y,FOR SPECIAL NOTICE: We alter free of charge and guarantee the fit.
