1t is reasonable to suppose that IN the
state of Minnesota, even when the Norwe-
gsan element in some counties are largely
In the majority, native born American citi-
Gems would be recognized to enjoy an equal
proportion of the county offices. In this
new county, that was cut off from Polk
county only last winter, there are about
LOCO voters and fully $50 are Norwegians.
When the officers were appointed by
Gov. John s. Pillsbury last
winter, to hold until the
general election this fall, he gave two of
the county Offices to the Americans and
the remainder to the Scandnavians.

thing to run their county to suit them
selves. They are never known to 20 back

In Polk county four of the best offices

Our only salvation at the coming cleo

the Democratic party endorse the Kindred

ticket with the full Democratic vote will
have at least 1900 majority.
