cent stone building of the Case School of
Applied Science. at the East End, which
was completed and opened about one year

ADA. Oct. 27.-A very large audience

by Hon. Charles Canning and l.. n. Tor
son upon the political situation. After
reviewing the public career of the two
gubernatorial candidates and the various
influences which brought about their NOM
nations, it was conceded that A. A. Ames
came from the people and represented the
people while A. r. McGill represented
only capital rings that for many years had
throttled the administration of justice to
the laborers and producers of Minnesota.
Hon. Charles Canning, the vigorous
champion of Ames and peoples rights,
will receive a tremendous majority for
representative in Norman county, and if
the other counties in the district do their
duty, he will be the next representative.

Macdonald spoke here tonight to a
crowded house. He dWelt at length upon
the political issues of the day as eXpounded
by his Republican predecessors and tore
their arguments, if such they could be
called. into fragments. The Comet band
paraded the streets at the head of the Ames

peared they were met with marked evil
dences of approval by the populace. Mr..
Macdonald delivered wise, consistent and
profitable political speech and made many
friends thereby. The facts he presented
were incontrovertibIe and met with frequent
and vociferOus applause. The
parade in honor of his presence
was the largest and most enthusiastic ever
seen in Benson, and the meeting was cor
respondingly enthusiastic. He spoke at
Clontarf to-day, where and Ames and Mac
Donald club was formed with member
ship of over 100. Everybody here seems to
be inclined ID the Ames and Macdonald
side of the question. A week kneed minor

Doodle Wont save Them.

BRAINERD, MIMI, Oct. 27.-The des-
perate situation of the Republican legisla-
tive ticket in this, the Thirty ninth, district
is proven by rumors that Doodle has arrived,
OF may be soon expected for use in helping
the lame ducks on the Republican ticket.
Buchanan. for senator. and Lee, for repre-
sentative. are the only ones on that ticket
that now have any show, and they are
scared to death. Lum, it is thought. might
pull through if not weighted down by Finn,
who is cut wide open by the labor vote.
But all the Doodle from Little Falls or from
the Minneapolis hackers will not avail.
This campaign is not running on money but
on merit. The French Catholics tonight
agreed to vote the Democratic state and
legislative ticket solid, and the labor vote
was the cause of this determination. An
effort was made through certain influences
connected with the Vaudry trial. TO capture
this vote fol McGill, but the boodlers were

AMES IN THE FIRST.
Great Strength Developed by the
Coming Democratic Governor.

Special TO the Globe.
KAssoN, Oct. 27.-NaturalIy, most of
the talk in the First district is about Wilson
and Lovely. and large share of the inter-
est of the campaign centerS in that fight.
But the Democrats have by no means lost
SighIs of AmeS and the state ticket and
they are putting in some very effective
work the result of which will be apparent
when the votes are counted. McGill, it is
conceded, possesses no especial elements OF
strength, and the farmers are sure to
scratch him heavily. because of his afilia-
tons with the wheat ring and the Millers'
association. This makes it certain that he
cannot poll the usual party vote. On the
other hand. Ames has many elements Of
strength and little OF nothing is urged
against him that can reduce his vote below
that usually cast for the Democratic
candidates. have met few
Democrats who assert their inten-
ton of not voting for Ames,
because of the stories about his moral
character, but this number does not exceed
a dozen-and l have been in nearly every
county in the district, and have talked
with more than 500 men. This will cut no
figure 10 speak of. and cannot be said to
operate against AmeS' chances at all
THE ELEMENTS IN HIS FAVOR
are numerous The speeches OF Davis and
Window have done him no harm. He is
exceedingly popular with the sold ers, who
will vote for hun almost TO a man. This
will swell his vote largely. as the soldiers
are very numerous in the First district.
The laboring men are also OutspOken for
him. and in places where the Knights OF
Labor nave organizations AmeS will get a
larger vote. probably, than Judge Wilson.
Hundreds OF farmers VIII also vote
for him. because they prefer him to McGill
and believe him to be an enemy of the
wheat ring and the millers and the cOrpO-
ratons He will also draw good deal of
Irish strength that went to Blaine. 1t IS
estimated that at least l. 500 to 1000 Irish
men voted Tor Blaine in this district. Then,
again. the Prohibition vote will be largely
increased over what it was in 1884. and this
will come mostly from the Republican
ranks. All these things will operate to
AmeS' advantage. and it is plain to be seen
what important factors they are. Another
thing to take into the calculation is the
Butler vote. There were 1.212 votes cast
for Butler in the district These will nat
urally go to AmeS. The vote in 1884 for
president. which pretty nearly represents
the party vote. although it is to the disad-
vantage of the Democrats. as many Cleve-
land votes were traded for votes for Bier

DISTRICTS" Mr.. DAVIS has been arguing
that the farmer is benefited by a tariff on
wheat which is denounced by the Pioneer
Press as sheer nonsense. This astute organ
says:
In all the history of campaign argument
alton there is nothing more stupendously
ludicrous than the pretenSe, now being put
forward in Minnesota, that the farmer is
benefited by q tariff on wheat. We have
passed it by in contemptuOuS silence, because
il can be advanced ONLY on the supposltlon
that the farmer is entirely without lntelh-
gence. That Il should now come to the front
is strong proof that the opponents OF tariff
reform are on their last legs. 1t is difficult
to approach without levity the precious
doctrine Of protection to the farmer. There
are q great many mysteries and SUD-
tleties about the tariff theory. There is
wheat. The simplest man can understand
that d tariff duty is absolutely lnapplicable
TO any commodity OF which we produce more
than we consume, and OF which we are.
therefore, exporters instead of importers.
By no possibility could the price OF
wheat in any portion of the United States be
raised or lowered 2 cents per bushel. though
the tariff were raised to $40 bushel or en-
tirely abolished.
c. K. Davis. in his recent MINNEAPOLIS
speech, rolled on hiS.tonsue as a sweet NOR
sci the benefit the farmers derive from
tariff on wheat He sad:
Lying just north of Us, but in the British
dominions. is the fertile valley of the oas-
katchewan. 500 miles long and 2UU miles wide
Compared TO il our fertile wheat NEEDS are
barren and sterile 1t is the great wheat Held
OF the world. Were it not for this protective
tariff we would be overiowed with the mag
nifcent product OF this garden OF the world
and the occup patton of the Minnesota farmer

wheat growing profitable.

Whites majority over Biermann was only
2,643. But, taking the presidential vote
as basis, it is easy to see how this major
ity of 5000 can be obliterated- The 1.200
Butler votes will make big hole in it; the
Irish who went for Blaine Will pull it down
another peg: the soldier vote will make an
other cut-likewise the labor vote: the
farmers, who have horror of the wheat
ring and the MiIlers' association, will be an
other factor in decreasing this majority; the
increased Prohibition vote will make ser
iOus inrOads into it. and the scores Of indie
pendent men who admire Ames for his

the figures. Ames is not strong in spots.
but everywhere. I have been in every
county in this district except one, and it is
conceded by all that Ames will make a
