WARD or Il DEMOCRAT
Elsewhere we publish Gen. Bakers
letter to the Pioneer-Press. We agree
with the General that the contest lies
between Ward and Wells. Those Re-
publicans who wish to save the First
District to the Republicans must vote
for Ward. Every vote for Dunnell is a
vote to send Il Democrat to Congress
from this District.
Gen. Baker participated in the Vase
cca Convention and knows whereof he
speaks when lie says that Ward was du-
ly and fairly nominated. So far as there
is any regular nominee on the Republi-
can side, Mr.. Ward is the nominee.
The fact Of trickery. usurpatlon, un-
fairness and irregularity is forever and
irrevocably fixed upon the Dunnell men
in seizinc the Waseca Convention and
every Republican in the District knows
it. We have asserted this steadily from
the day of the Convention and it has
never been denied.
It is either Ward or Democrat for
Congress. Which will you have?
THE BARTER CASE
A few weeks ago we published a let
ter from II. L. Barter, editor of the Le-
Claire, Iowa, Pilot, stating his case as
another victim of the Internal and infa-
NOUS Comstock law under which any
editor in the United States can be az
rested, dragged from his home, thrust
into prison and held till his health and
business are ruined.
We find now in the Truth Seeker a
letter from Z. G. Leland, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Nation
Ill Defense Association, throwing more
light on the case. Mr.. l.. has been to
IeClaire and investigated the case. lie
finds Mrs. Follctt, the author of the
story called obscene by the internal
Comstock gang, to he a refined and re-
spectacle lady. Mr.. Barter, the rerse-
cutcd editor, is u gentleman Of liberal
sentiments, temperance worker and
an able editor. lie has been released on
bail and the case will le tried probably
early in November. 1t will take from
$500 to 500 to defend him and pay the
expenses of his trial. The Liberals of
the country are appealed to to aid him
either by direct contributions or by sub
scribing for his paper.
Ill contributions may be sent to II.
3. Brown, Treasurer of the National
Defense Association, Ill Eighth Street
New York, or to the editor Of the Truth
Seeker, who will hand the money to Mr..
Brown. All sums will be acknowledged
in the Truth Seeker under the head of
1.-The Barter Trial Fund.-

The st. Paul Pioneer-Press recently
made column appeal to all the FEEDER
al office holders in the country and all

pect to he office holders, to 60 ''over to

every man. woman and child that ends

which has gone up during the cam.
l'aign, and is confession that Mr..
Ward is having a walk over and is at
least two rounds and quarter post
ahead
1t may be that Gen. Baker is engaged
to make speeches for the Republican
State central committee. bnt will also
fill his engagements in behalf of Mr..
Ward. There is no discount on that
score. If Cush Davis has weakened in
his support of Ward and proposes to 20
