~ islative Ticket.
Tho Republican%legislatiys ticket ia
one which deserves the hearty sup
port Of every Republican in the S9th
senatorial district. Messrs Lee, Howes
and Sadley are men liability, honesty
and good principles, and their dev.-
ton to- the Republican party is un-
doubted and sincere. <All are by
natural choice favorables-tos legislation
which, will free tn e.farmers from the
crushing controlof the wheat buyers
and railroad corporations; q control
that has robbed them Of their just re
ward of their industry, and which can
he ended only by the election of men
who are known by their records to be
opposed to the powerful, railroad
influences. :. ~, -
In addition to ths fact that the can
didates we're known to be favorable to
laws which will correct the presen
abuses, they have made a public
pledge, over their signatures, to. labor,
if elected, energeticalIy and continu-
ously. for the securing of-the leglsla-
ton demanded by the CONNIE ndxble
resolutions adapted at the Morrison
county Republican convention. AS tar
rs their position in this regard is con-
cerned, every voter in the county who
wants to see the railroad and elevator
monopoly crushed, should vote for
then.'> 80
Ent there is another reason why
the Republica MS of. Morrison county
should this year SHOW their fidelity to
their principles and give their national
congressional and Legislative ticket a
solid, united vote. Up to two years
ago the Republican party had been
steadily gaining ground in Morrison
county, and Republicans had control
of many Of the county Offices, and the
party WAS working in harmony. Two
years ago the party became divided on
the congress ional election, and the
division became so wide that either
faction felt more bitter towards tho
other than toward the Democrats,
and the result WAS that the election of
any Republican in this county was
impossible, with the exception Of
Lyman Signor, who had not been
identified with either faction and who
has always been highly esteemed, by
all factions and all parties. At pres
ent there is no factional dissatisfaction,
with congressional candidates, and
all Republicans should vote and work
for Hon. Knute Nelson for congress,
and for VIM. E. Lee, J. r. Howes and
J. T. Ssdley for the legislature, and
last but not least, the Republican can;
didates for county offices who are in
the. field 1t would he treaeh rous
act indeed for the Republicans of this
county, now to decline to support the
Candidates Of their party for the logis-
lature. At the convention which
nominated the ticket Morrison county
could have had a man on the ticket if
it had been asked, but this county had
no candidate, and has no reason for
complaint as far as the make up OF
the ticket is concerned Heretofore
this county has almost always had a
representative on, the Republican
ticket and the Republicans Of outside
counties which were not 50" fortunate
have always nobly contribut Jed their
party support to the ticket and thus
made possible the election Of our can
didate: Have not these other coun-
ties now right to expect and demand
that the Republicans Of Morrison
county stand by the nomine es? They
do expect aud demand the votes of
the Republicans in this portion Of the
district, and any treachery on our
part win;be justly remembered against
lis when the Republicans Of. our
county have man on the ticket, as
they undoubtedly will at the next
election. The Republicans of this
county need expect no favors from
their party brethren in neighboring
counties if they are unwilling to favor
the nominees of the party because
they are not residents Of this county.
Are not the Republicans of Morrison
county in honor bound to vote for the
nominees of the party? Decidedly,
and we believe that they recognize
their duty, and that next Tuesday's
vote will establish the steadfastness Of
the Rannhlinapa of thia ccuptv
