We assume that the Opposition in the
coming Legislature desires to elect Unlted
States Senator committed to their own poiit-
ical views. We assume that no man VINO
has stood by and. defended the Republican
party. worm-eaten with corruption, can set
up any valid claim to represent the news OF
the Opposition. No man who bowed down
to the Republican Dagon until the lightning
of the peoples wrath smote and shlvered 1t,
can fitly represent new order OF things. ln
fine. we assume that the Opposition-Demo-
Gratis, Liberals and Indepenaents-are III

Legislature and vote for a man to represent
the people of Minnesota in the Senate OF the
United States who is known, out-spoke1

exhaust every energy to elect hlm--ane
