WILL OUTSIDERS COMMIT NELSON
TO VOTERS OF MS DISTRICT!


If there are any who do mot understand
about this outside of the district support,
of the two candidates for Congress, it
| should be explained Knute Nelson did
not dare to submit his chances for election
! tothe hands and newspapers of his own
district, but employed the Pioneer Press,
paper out of the district, TO open up and
| start his campaign work for him. This
job was willingly taken by thatpape and
for unfounded abuse, SANDER and unmiti-
gated falsehood concerning Mr.. Kindred,
the great article it contained had no equal.
1t was so outrageously scandalous, we
presume no publisher could be found else
where, mean enough to do the work.
That sort of stuff was continued by the P.
P. for long time, when tie Evening
Journal saw it was matter of persecution
and plan to eXtort money from Mr.
Kindred. the Journalof its own free will
and accord, took up the battle for Mr..
Kindred. The fight between these two
papers continued hot for while, when
the Globe, of St. Paul, seeing the injustice
, of the gross conduct of the P. P, inter-
ested itself in the behalf of Mr. Kindred.
The Globe knowing there was strong
Republican majority in this district, and
not the least chance in the world to elect
Democrat, continuedsin its, course for Mr..
Kindred, believing that he was much the
best man for that position, and would be
of vast more usefulness to the district, and
state at large, than his opponent Nelson,
who had been put into the field by set of
bogus delegates, in bogus co ,vention.
The Journal and tie Globe c. uld see that
Nelson was, as he had been for years. in
the hands of corrupt pine land and other
rings, whose ultimate object was, to swim.
die the hard workingmen of the state
These rings are located in st Paul, and
are represented by the p P, and in Min
neapolis by the Minneapolis Tribune
From these two places, these rings are
furnished money for Nelson to run him
self into congress, for it is well known he
is spending has money. 1t would be much
UcttcI W ltht luG WOfSl man the rings con-
tain, and run him, so we will have the
origina S to look at, and show up, than to
have Knute with all those dare devils be-
hind him, whom no one can reach to hold
responsible. 1t would be much better to
have the boldest viper of the outfit come
the front, than his tool Knutc We not
only fear Knute's fame as an INSCRIPTIONS
jobber, but also that of those who stand
behind his throne, outside of the district,
throwing i'll their bomb shells to protect
their piece of putty, who has been shaped
and moulded to suit their nafarieus pur-
pose. Dare his outside runners leave him
to his fate in his own district, where he is
so well known, to receive his Just deserts?
We rather guess not. If elected, they must
do it, that they may call him their own
property, and COMPEL him to commit for
them such depredations as they shall
command.

"a VOTER up at Croekston, seeing thai
the Pioneer Press, is not killing itself any
more by, screaming for Nelson, sends word
down to it, that he has: been reading the
cheap Kindred organs in that part of the
district, claiming Kindred has pre-empted
the entire available votes, except small
portion of the foreign,vote, and wishes it
sent abroad as news, but his particular
object is to brand these papers as "cheap
Kindred organs; Well, it may be true,
that Kindred has no orgac that costs as
much as the Pioneer Press; that paper
is luxury in which no one but Nelson
and dis ring can afford to indulge.

MIR. KINDRED.

Mr.. G. F. Kindred, republican nom inee
for congress, visited Sank Centre for the
first time last Saturday, departing on the
noon train, after having made the acquain-
lance of a good many citizens of Sank
Centre. Agreat many people are surprised
that he should appear in human form,
after having been SO extensively advertised
as thief, robber and cut throat. No one
should take any stock in the senseless
trash promulgated and in numerous in
stances it will be no more than justice to a
respectable citizen to keep sight of the
fact that he is man i'm the fullest sense of
the word. The way his opponents are
flying around and trying to whoop up all
along the line has hardly sufficient success
to disquiet the equanimity of G. F. Kin

IT should not be at all difficult for the
voters to understand the pine land scheme,
when they come to know the facts, which,
in short cOnsise statement are these:
Minneapolis has been built up almost
| exclusively by its manufacturing industry
and large portion of this has been in the
dealing in logs, saving them into lumber,
| OF which that city has done in the past
twenty years amount, reaching up into
| the millions and millions, thus furnishing
| labor and inducements for people to go
there and settle-then working this lumber
mp into such articles as the vast trade de
manded. These logs were all brought
| down from the pine FORESTS on the upper
Mississippi river and its tributaries, and
| each year the pine in that region became
| more and more thinned out. Then what
was to be done to save Minneapolis, its
saw mills, and especilly those engaged
in that particular industry With it came
the so called pine land rings, and the
amassing of capital to get pine lands vet
belonging in many instances to the gov
eminent. These mills and log men, seeing
that they might in the near and distant
future be deprived of the most valuable
pine lands by actual settlers and farmers
| consolidated to keep any poor man want
ing small tracts of pine lands, entirely out
OF that territory, and with the formation
of powerful rings have thrown such OBJ
stacles in the way of bona tide settlers,
that they never have been able to get an
honest foot hold.
Mr. Knute Nelson was at an early date
found to be valuable. man for the purpose
OF Strengthening their rings, giving them
an innocent popularity among the ,Seandi-
navians, and be on hand to explain away
any curiosity they might have as people,
in relation to the pine country. The con-
duct of Mr.. Nelson has shown, as MANY of
the Scandinavians know, that he has done
his wicked work too well; and this has
been so, very well and silly done, that the
poor people who might have had an equal
chance, are now poorer, and he the
richer These pine land rings fearing
they might loose the goose that has laid
them so many golden eggs, have pooled
their purses and raised money to take their
general in command te Congress, to there
further their growing interests.
Now for the purpose of stopping this
cheat and swindle, Mr.. Kindred, who it
has long been known, as bitter enemy to
there rings, has been nominated for Con
gress, and hence it is that his election is
opposed by the Minneapolis Tribune 1t
is true the Pioneer Press opposes Mr..
Kindred also, but that no doubt is done
for pay, solely.

NELSON'S MAJORITY WILL BE KIN
DREDS.

Its mother and the army said SO.
NELSON'S lLAJORITY WILL BE KIN
DREDS.
If Mr. Nelson is looking for any major
ity for himself in this county, there is not
much doubt but what he will be greatly
deceived. The Nelson leaders here, are
not so much for Nelson as they are for
themselves, hereafter. The question with
them at the start was, who, in a political
point of view, would it be the most advis-
able and popular to support, Kindred or
Nelson; and what would be their standing
here in the future, with respect to offices
for themselves. If they went with Kin
dred, the county being largely Scandina-
Wan, they might, as they feared. run
against the Scandinavian vote. And then,
Nelson was also Scandinavian, and
would it not please the Scandinavians best
and most to go for Nelson; thus they coun-
seled together until they became converted
to that belief, and thus thinking, most of
themselves, they became Nelson men in
name, and upon the corners of the streets.
But we think it is evident that these future
local office seekers, have made mistake
in supposing that majoritysof the Scan
dilavians of this county are for Nelson, or
that there is anything here to show they are,
while there is considerable to prove the
contrary. And there is much more to
prove that the Scandinavians have long
since seeded from the leadership of the
old Republican ring.
The old Republican ring leaders
have tried in vain led the Scandi-
navians year after year, until every
office in the county, except county attorney,
through the bad management of the ring
has been gobbled up by the Democracy;
the ring being unable last fall to even elect
a Republican county auditor, with $50
Republican majority in the county to do it
with. 1t is true that the ring accuse Mr.
Larson, now their candidate for the house,
on their own ticket, for this defeat But
how could Mr.. Larson have done this if the
Scandinavians had not wished to get them
selves out of the hands of the old ring,
which is now so silently loud for Nelson,
why did they go with Larson to defeat the
Republican county auditor? Itist true that
the old ring which had lost it's hold on the
votes of the people, blame other Republic
cans, because there are so many Democrats
in, and so many Republicans out of office
in this county, where there is Republican
majority, but that only goes to show that
the Scandinavians and other Republican
voters took every opportunity to vote
against the old ring leaders. The unpopu-
larity ofthe old ring forced all the county
offices into the hands of the Democracy,
except that of county attorney. Now then,
if the ring could not control the Republic
can vote so as to get the county offices for
themselves, how are they going to control
it for Nelson? The ring has been snubbed
so much by Republicans choosing to vote
for Democrats, that it ought now to lay up
for repairs, and save itself instead of try
ing to save Nelson, who cares ne more for
is future than it does for him.

Up to the time of going to press we'have
heard of only five different persons to
whom Nelson has promised the postoffice

get it without any promise.
