CAMPAIGN RUMBLES.

In every place where he has appeared
Thomas Wilson has made scores of
friends and scores of votes. The masses
recognize the fact that the grand poiiti-
cal farce and Doodle distributor who
has been acting as governor for the past
7tTo years must be defeated this fall,
and no better man than the able and
bralny gentleman whom the Democrats
have chosen as standard bearer can be
selected as Billy Merriam's successor
Swift Monitor.
Senator Davis will stump the state in
behalf of the Republican ticket. He
Will take Gov. Merriam along for COM
pany sake and not for advertisement.
After Mr.. Davis gets through with his
speech each evening, probably Bill will
yet up and read an essay written by his
private secretary.-Sieepy Eye Herald
Col. Plummer held forth to a good
sized audience at Chambers hall last
Saturday night. He informed the peO-
pie that there was civil war in this
country some thirty years ago, and from
his manner of expression evidently
wished to have his audience believe the
War was not yet over. He eulogiZed
the Mckinley bill, and told OF the won
derful prosperity of the Dakota farm
ers. Yes, and when he uttered this lie,
as black and false as ever man uttered,
several full-grOwn men in the audience
were seen to clap their hands in ener-
getic applause.-Steele Democrat.
The Mckinley tariff law is in effect.
Buy your clothing now, as there will be
a large advance in prices within very
few weeks. Commercial travellers
agree that the wholesale houses will ad-
vance prices from 25 to 50 per cent very

is the howl that still goes up from Mer-
riam's Doodle organs. Of course he is,

from the railroads for poor claimants

state put together. That's the kind of a

And here is Merriam billed to 60 with
Davis among the farmers of the state to
see if Davis cannot put out the fire of
free trade which is sweeping over the
prairies. with his beautiful rhetoric.
What does this ight-about-march
mean?
1t means just what it did four years
ago. Then word came to the Repub-
lican state central committee from the
East. that there must be no more mon
keying with the low tariff idea, and the
speakers must be silent on the tariff if
they could not talk protection. 1t means
now that the Protective Tariff associa-
ton has sent word that if Minnesota
Republicans want the financial help of
that rich and powerful association this
year, they must face the music and
march to the polls to the tune of the
Mckinley bill. That's just what it
means. How do you low tariff Repub-
lieans like it? Will you face about too?

Thursday night, as Col. Plummer was
concluding his speech with quite an
