November 29th, Beardsley Alliance,
No. 600, Big Stone county unani-
mously resolved in favor of Hon.
lgnatius Donnelly for president OF
the s. ate Alliance.
The st. Vincent New Era says:
The newspapers who ridiculed, op-
posed and hated the Alliance move
ment most, are now the foremost in
advising the Alliance and in trying
to create discord in our ranks.
They are particularly anxious, just
at present, to defeat Senator Donnel-
~ for President of the Alliance; now
let the Alliance crown their glorious
victory by electing and Loyalty sup
porting the man of all other men our
enemies fear and hate most, Senator
Donnelly.
The robber gang of Minnesota was
first amused with the Alliance move
ment, now they are ratified, and will
be paralyzed shortly. Their bloom
ing organs shrek out in unholy con-
cert, "Donnelly expects to be U. S.
Senator in 1921" and then they
look up expecting to see the heavens
falling. We admit that Mr.. Donnel-
ly's election to the U. s. Senate would
be stupendous calamity-for the
"gang;;" all which disaster is ahead
of them.
The Sterling Center, Blue Earth
County, sub-alliance held meeting
Nov. 22d, and elected VIM. Webb,
one of the ablest and most prominent
farmers in Blue Earth county, as
delegate, and unanimously instruct
ed him to vote for Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly for president. Mr.. Webb
needed no such Instructions. He
writes:
"From conversation with members
of other alliances 1 feel justified in
saying that the farmers of this coun-
ty have followed the fractional opposi-
tion to Mr.. Donnelly as long and as
far as they will go; and that the re-
action in his favor is general"
1t seems John Diamond told the
truth about the feeling in Blue Earth
county.
At q meeting of the Dodge County
Alliance, held Dec. 3rd, 1890, a reso-
luton was adopted, by a vote of
three to one. endorsing Hon. Igna-
titus Donnelly for president OF the
State Alliance. II. w. Norton was
elected delegate to the convention to
be held Dec. 3Oth. He is a warm per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Donnelly. A reso-
luton was also passed sustaining
the GREAT WEST.
The Martin County Sentinel (Rep.
says:
'Ignatius Donnelly, with charac-
teristic frankness, publishes a length
ly letter in which he announces that
he is a candidate for president of the
State Alliance. His lengthy and la
borious services for the Alliance
cause, his towering intellect, his
matchless oratory, and his world
wide fame as an author and scholar
commend him for the position. But
he will not get it. Narrow-minded
schemers and politicians will accom-.
plish his defeat and thus destroy the
only chance the Alliance has of elect
ing one of their members to the Uni
ted States Senate from this state"
The Mantorville sub-alliance, at
