OUR NEXT REPRESENTATIVE.

OUR NEXT REPRESENTATIVE.
In this 42nd Legislative district
there are three candidates for elec.
tion rs representatives.
or A. 8. Crcssfeld, tho gentlemen
who claims 10 be the regular repnb.
lican nominee, we have nothing to say
personally. But in his candidacy in
this campaign he represents but 4
miuor part OF the district; he Was
placed in nomination by set of pro-
fessional politicians through methods
that have been condemned by u ma.
joiity If Lis own rarty in the district.
Further he. stands upon a platform
{. ON the carrying out of which the
interests OF The people will not be
suhserved and little good may be ex-
pected. Besides he would be tho
r,u; Il migrate would he not. If elected
be the willing tool TO carry out the
wishes of the ring that. placed him
before the people for their support.
J. @. Barrett, the prohibition cam
didate, is Il gentleman of ability, one
who well understands the needs of
he people of this district in the
matter of reform legislation. Ex-
cepting his views upon the liquor
question, we believe that il elected
he would represent with the. strictest
fidelity the Interests OF his constitu-
ents and that he would vote right
upon all public questions of import
ance to them. He stands right upon
the tariff question. But his party Is
greatly in the minority, his election
is hopeless, and vote for him would
be strengthening the cause OF the
man by whom the people could not
expect to be rightly represented.
The other candidate is r. J. Hall,
Of this county. He comes before the
people upon double nomination.
He is not the representative OF any
ring, of any clan, nor of any faction,
but is purely the peoples candidate.
lie was first nominated by the farm.
ers alliance element. constituting q
majority, Of the republican district
convention. and as such nominee is
supported by many Of the influential
republicans of the district. Recog-
MIXING the fitness of his candidacy as
the representative of the farmers
of this district, standing upon =
platform that embodies all the pfin-
ciples Of good democratic govern
ment, the democrats made him their
candidate also. knowing that in his
success the district would be ably
and properly represented. Being a
farmer himself, depending upon that
pursuit for livelihood, he may be
depended upon to be always in the
ihickest OF every fight for the farm
ers. rights and his peoples interests
6tiO ~ NC ali ACTIVE ssutt CAf meow paA~
ticipant in all just and reasonable
warfare upon every encroacin1ent Of
the rich and powerful upon the rights
OF tie poor and weak. Upon his
record as leader of the Minnesota
farmers alliance it is safe TO promise
this much. Mr.. Hall is gentleman
who can be relied upon, If elected, to
represent his constituents faithfully,
consclensiousIy and to the best Of his
ability, and in the execution of this
trust he Is pledged to support for the
United States senate a man who will
represent the tariff reform senti.
ment of his people.
This is no time for us to allow our
prejudices to overcome our good
judgement. We should consider our
own interests and vote for the
measures and men that best subserve
them. If this Is done r. J. Hall will
be elected as our next representative
by an overwhelming majority.
