Todd County Is Safe.

LONG PRAIRIE, Minn., Nov. 5.-The
windup of the campaign here was cele-
brated by a grand street parade and
torchlight procession, followed by a
rOusing Democratic speech by Thomas
j. Leftwich. His speech was the best
of the campaign and will influence
a good many votes, especially for the
heads of the national and state tickets.
His arraignment of Merriam and pre-
sentation of Wilson's candidacy were
done in manner that could give no Of
fense to the most sensitive. Leading
Democrats gave him banquet after the
speech, and he drove to Sank Center to
take the night train to Minneapolis.
Todd county will roll up a good Demo-
cratic vote tomorrow.

Time and the Windup.


ANoKA, Minn., Nov. 5.-The Repub,
licans closed the campaign this evening
in a blaze of glory with monster torch-
light procession. interspersed with fire.
works and a rally at city ball. The most
noticeable feature of the procession was
a large canoe containing twenty-five
young girls and the Goddess of Liberty
dressed in red, white and blue. At the
hall addresses were made by F.B. Hart,
of Minneapolis, and Weston Hammond,
prominent Democrat, but has lately
turnes Republican, and is the only con-
vert known to have been won by that
party. The followers of the G. O. p.
have worked hard, are well satis-l
over to victory. but ''there is
many slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.
The Prohibs have put in quiet but eff
fectual work, and enough has been done
to change the scale in favor of the DEM
ocrats. The Prohibs held their last
rally at the court house this evening
which was well attended. Addresses
were made by Rev. Mason, the Congre-
gatiOnal pastor, who mOpped the floor
with the mildewed remains of the hyp-
ocritical pretenSes of the G. O. p. and
left the quiyering flesh exposed to the
scOrching rays of the Democratic sun
which is in the ascendency. The Re-
publican maj0rities, if any, will be very
diminutive compared with former years.

DULUTH, Minn., Nov. 5.-There will
be cessation of business tomorrow,
business men generally having deter
mined to give their employees half
holiday. 1t has been raining hard all
day, but that has not prevented some
pretty tall hustling by all candidates.
and the indications are that the entire
registered vote will be polled despite
the threatening weather. Detective
Quinlan and twelve assistant deputy
United States marshals are now. at
Tower, and will probably prevent q
repetition of the fraudulent voting of
two years ago, when it will be .remenl-
bered scarcely legal ballot was cast,
though all were counted. 1t is probable
that trouble may occur if any of the
customary bulldOzing tactics of the
Minnesota Iron company's officials is
indulged in, as there is determination
to have fair election on the part of the
Democrats, and, with officers to back
them. this may be secured.

enough In tnat thought to keep even 3
rd-working society woman in pleasant
fuster all day. Aye, blessings on those
supposititious boots! what dull,
prosaic life most women would lead If IL

To look under the bed Is womsn's 81
Gent and prescriptive right. Ocassion-
SILLY Q witticisIn is perpetrAted which
hinges upon some woman's having for
gotten to perform this time honored cere-
mony. But whoever sets forth, or banks
upon such wl.ticism shows bis gross
ignorance of womsn-nature. A woman
never forgets to look under the bed.
That is duty and q principle which 1t is
psychologically impossible for her to
emit. When q rooster forgets to crow
early in the morning, or plumber for
gets to make out bill in the glad
spring,ipe, We will listen to the amateur
sndmesies who imasines that q woman
ever fSygets to lock under the bed az 0
RrsiHdT to peaceful sumter.
