This is proven from the fact that they
have made no attempt to secure the Ameri-
can vote or aid Of the Irish or others. And
why not? They we'll knew Nelson was
not the nominee of any convention called
by any one, but believed that as he was a
very rich man, he could, with q large sum
from them, work his way with your help
into congress; and whether they own him
or not, they well knew they would have
nothing to fear from him. What he would
not manipulate and do for them in con-
gress, he would secure others there to do
for them, and they would make their mil
lions ofdollars out of it just the same. OF
this the rings have already publicly boast
ed. Let us ask if Nelson is the man who
would divide this money with you after
you had put him in a position to enrich
himself? His princely fortune has been
made out of politics, and how much has
any one heard of his dividing with his
Scandinavian friends. How long has the
Scandinavians kept him in office, and how
much richer are they for it now? Does he
seem to remember you as well after cleo
ton as he does just before it?
Let us look at the other side of the pic
ture and see what it is. Here we find that
Mr.. Kindred was nominated by the only
convention called for the purpose of
nominating candidate for congress, and
he Is now before the people of this district
for that position. He is young man him.
self and is opposed to all the political
rings and cliques which are seeking to
make living out of corrupt politics
running for office. He is no politician
and makes no pretention to be one of that
stripe. He is a farmer, having raised So
900 bushels of wheat this season, and
knows what the farmers in this district
should have to make their pursuit a profit
able one. He is opposed to combinations
and rings of every description which must
sooner or later be of great injury to the
farmer and other laboring classes. He is
beyond question, well qualified for the
place the convention nominated him to
fill. He is bitterly against the old worn
out Office seekers who have done nothing
for years except to fill their pockets He
hates the pine land rings, which have
made so much by selling lumber to you at
extortionately high rates. He despises the
wheat rings for getting your wheat at
merely nothing, and selling back flour for
more than it is worth. In return for all
this, these parties have combined with
Nelson to defeat Mr.. Kindred if they can
possibly do it. And for this purpose they
are going through the county spending
large sums of money, bribing all the Scan
dinavians into their ranks they can find.
These same parties have employed the Pi-
oneer Press and the Tribune of Minneapo-
lis, neither of which are in our districtN to
help them beat Mr.. Kindred-and all for
the purpose of making money. Would
these men and papers out of the district
work so hard for Nelson unless they were
making something by it? Certainly not
They know full well if Mr.. Kindred, who
is the peoples choice, is elected, their
power to prey up the hard working
people is gone. They do not admire Mr.
Kindred's policy, that the working people
should have an equal footing in our land.
They seek to have the man with the most
money control the balance of creation.
They have appealed to you Scandinavians
to vote for Nelson believing he could con-
troll you, well knowing they could control
him. Is not this question worthy OF your
and will you not look ahead
before you leap into the ditch-for Nelson?
