Think of it.

1E1nA Oh
There may be some anxiety to
know why the GREAT WEST is so in
tensely hostile to the democratic par
ty OF late. For months we have been
pounding the republican party as
the G. O. P. OF all evil, but only late
ay has the paper shown any special
hostility to the democracy. The
Bourbon element has been inclined
to low tariff, though when in power
it never exerted itself to drop the
blind taxation. The alliance party
was organized as a grand revolution
in politics. It was organized to
shake off both the putrid carcasses
which had been chained to the repub-
lie for years. Almost Immediately
the devil came in as a lamb and
walked into our ranks, captured our
machinery, insulted the dignity and
intelligence of the alliance, and at one
fell stroke swung the whole organiza-
ton into the ranks of the democratic
party-so that today, at the Mer-
chants Hotel. the two committees
can hardly be distinguished one from
the other.
Why this is will be told in the
weeks following the election. But
there are some facts which we have
not the patience to Withhold from the
democratic farmers of this state.
That Tom Wilson is known by every
railroad pluto in the United States to
be in their interest no one can doubt
who reads and has a conscience. But
that the Wheat Ring OF Minneapolis
had captured the democratic party
and certain men who manage our
campaign may not be so we'll known.
Now, gentlemen, don't say there is
no "wheat ring!' Before another
moon has cast it's false light over the
election returns OF Nov. 4th, we will
show you the teeth of critter before
whose malignity the ancient Millers'
Association would cover as a mouse
in a lions paw.
To state the present condition OF
the democraticparty and the alliance
fellows OF the Merchants rendezvous,
let US state that the Southern AS
.sociation" consists of the Peavey line
of elevators, the Van Deusen line, the
Hodges & Hyde, Cargill Bros.
lSouthern branches), etc.
Let this "close corporation rest a
moment while we relate how legisla-
ton is formed. All bills pass through
committees. Committees are ap-
pointed by the Lieutenant Governor.
The Lieutenant Governor controls
legislation.
The president of the 'Southwest-
~ern Association" directs the tremend-
Gus robberies yet to be exposed but
already suspected-in the grain
trade OF the northwest.
How would it do to have the Lieu
tenant Governor of Minnesota and
the President of the grain associa,
tion united in the same person?
That person is E. G. PAIL, presi
dent OF the Southwestern Grain As
ISOLATION
Do you suppose E. G. PAIL anG
Thomas Wilson do not understand
each other?
Let no one fool you on this point
The democratic. party and that AL
sliance "gang" are there. As to these
two graf; associations, secret, uni
ted, bloodthirsty, do not he misled
cit" not only has an existence, but
among the rare documents which VIZ
will produce for the farmers OF this
state is one containing the basis O
operation, pertaining to themselves
and their elevators! Democrats
look out for yourselves! But how
about Barrett?
We will tell you. Barrett was al
