The Wilson nominated is Eugene
Wilson, of Minneapolis, and not Judge
Wilson, OF WinOua, as some have sup
posed.
Thus even the Democracy must go to
Minneapolis or St. Paul for a candi'
date. The contest was between Ames
and Wilson, two Minneapolis men, and
Wilson being the candidate of the Do
ran, or federal patronage wing, won OF
course.
The Prolibitionists also had to look
to Minneapolis for 4 candidate for
Governor, il foolish fellow named lIar-
riSun, who is not up to the average
country store keeper in brains, thotg }
held up as I: city merchant.
And now the country politicians and
paI.;-., al that couId he bought with
ln,n~S and promises f offices, are at
Work fJr Il ich st. Panl banker and
contractor, endt avoring 10 secure his
illumination on the Republican ticket
10! Governor.
These venal newspapers and pO'ltl-
clans are try ing to make the farmers
b il-ye that 1t Is 70 their Interest to
Sc. il rich st. Pilnl man Nominated
over comparatively poor man WHO
halls from ontside OF the central CIT
les. This rich st. Paul banker is Mer-
riam and this comparatively poor man,
who halls from the outside and from
an,ouy he people, is McGill. And we
hope, fer once, that the people will
speak and win as against money and
political sch.ming.
It is to bad to see /. paper that might
have as much influence as the Wor-
thington Globe trying to make the far.
mer readers believe that the only safe,
is W. Il. Merriam, the Lobbyist and 4
member of the old Land Monopoly Co.
that has beat Mobiles county out of
thousands of dollars in taxes. 1t
spoils papers Influence to try and
stuff snc', statements down their
throats. If Bill Merriam is the best
man the Republicans have they had
better vote for Dr. AmeS or Wilson,
Jackson Republic.
The Worthington Globe has no influ-
ence anyway except with a few ring
politicians and prohibitionists. Its
press was bought partly with misappro-
priated funds belonging to the people;
it is owned by rich banker who keeps
it as an advertising medium and per
sonal organ; it did not pay its taxes
last year and has beaten the county
out of $50 to $40; it is edited by a Meth
odist preacher at SIS Il month and
''boards HIMSELF" it is a prohibition
paper in disguise, but it was bought up
by Nichols and Williams when they
were here, and has talked up Merriam
ever since. 1t has little or no circula-
ton outside of Worthington and not
half the circulation Of the ADVANCE.
1t assumes to be the Republican paper
of this county and has few politicians
who assume to make it such and to
ignore the ADVANCE. But the AD-
VANCE has more influence in one issue
than the Globe has in fifty-two. We
regret to see brother editors, who once
were friendly to the ADVANCE and
ought to be still, listening to this little
ring of Worthington politicians, who
have no influence outside of their own
little local rings.
The Globe misrepresents the senti
ment in this county and does so for
hire. The people want McGill. but the
bOught-up politicians and newspapers
want Merriam. If the people will
speak they can win. If not, the hand
full Of Merriam politicians will carry
the day.
