The MOntevideO Commercial pub.
fishes our comments on the state
ment that two mortgages were given
on the loans in that county, and
criticises our position that the Sec
ond mortgage would not hold in
law. The position is this: Loan at
10 per cent. mortgage made out at
8 per cent for principal. Another
mortgage made out for 2 per cent
for the agents commission.
Now we will admit, on the CONNER
cial's presentation, that we were too
positive in our statement of the lille
gality Of the second mortgage. We
still hold that view, however, only
admitting that on legal point of
that nature we should be less ''pug-
nacious."
The second mortgage is a compul-
sorry payment OF interest in advance
A note is payment. A mortgage is
deed for property. There is no con-
sideration to note which is to be
owed a year or five years hence. 1t
is our belief that no foreclosure
could obtain on a mortgage Of that
character.

Some of the alliance ticket nomi-
nees in Otter Tail County have with
drawn from the ticket. We cannot
speak positively, but are almost sure
that they can be spared. There are
a lot of old.timer politicians in the
Otter Tail County Alliance who
would be better in a republican eau
Gus. The election of Mr.. Plowman
to the presidency of the 5th District
Alliance shows that the farmers are
ready to throw off these bloodsuck-
ers. We suggest that the farmers
get together in that county and
throw off some of it's load. This
is not meant to criticise Hompe
and Boen. But it is meant for every
one who thinks more OF the republi.
can party or any other party than it
does of the alliance. We understand
that Mr.. Hompe stands by the
Hompe-Hall-Sprague dynasty, and
it is time the farmers of the county
understood how he and every other
candidate stands. The real way to
the heart Of the alliance is not in
that direction.

The "Farmers' CaA,'' a little pluto
cratic agricultural mystifier, pub
llshed at Quincy, Ill, takes Ben But
ler's statement of the amount OF
farm mortgages to task, and denies
it with certain wonderful figures. 1t
quotes Illinois farm mortgages at
only $125, ,OOO,0 0-according to
the "Illinois State Board OF Labor
Statistics" Now the Call knows as
we'll as we do that the ''Board oi
Labor Statistics of Illinois never
took q census, or consensus, of mort
cages of Illinois. 1t never entered a
single county. 1t doesn't know as
much about it as even we do, four
hundred miles away. The statement
is bald-headed falsehood.
AS to the alliance being ''disap-
pointed in the mortgage census be-
ing taken, the disappointment is in
the manner of the taking. 1t is a
fraud-a downright, despicable, dirty
political fraud. And yet, fraud that
it is, it is developing most wonderful
results.
