made TO believe that the promise
must be kept. They were given the
choice between two things, either to
stand by the Mckinley bill or be read
out of the party. If they were read ont
of the party,they must stand alone with
no support from any source upon any
Northwestern measure. They were
whipped into line in the committee
room; that's where this work is done,
and they surprised and disappointed
their constituents by voting for the bill
OH the floor. The protected interests
of the seaboard had to be fixed.
l nave not one word of cenSure for
the Republican rank and file in this
campaign. ! believe they are honest
even though they favor the high pro
tective measure, and would not per-
nit any one in my presence to abuse
them.
l have the utmost personal respect for
the Hon. Andrew r. Kiefer He is an
honorable citizen and an able man, and
believe he would try To represent this
district faithfully and with credit to
himself. L believe that at the bottom of
MS heart he is believer in the princi-
pies of the Democracy in this cam
paign. Like the rest of the people in
Minnesota, he believes in tariff reform
But if he goes to Washington he must
vote with his party; he can't afford To
do anything else; and that means in
the interests of high tariff; he must
vote for it or get out of the party. For
this reason you cannot afford to vote for
Mr.. kiefer. Your only hope for relief
is iii the election OF the Hon. J. n
Castle. At Washington he will be in
touch with the administration and the
majority OF congress, for | tell YOU
Cleveland is as sure to be elected as the
Sth oil November comes; and there is
not chance for doubt that the next
congress will be overwhelmingly DEM
ocratic. Mr.. Castle will lie in touch.
and believe that as a coed business
policy. to say nothing of political, that
every citizen should vote for him. We
should send man there who is on the
side of the majority, if we expect favors
from congress. Don't make the mistake
of voting for Mr.. Kiefer, when you know
down i'll your hearts that he would be
only one of corpOraPS guard III con-
greSS.
Success rs Sure.
Now one word about state matters.
The first time i'll thirty-two years the
Democrats stand certain show of
electing their entire ticket Two years
ago said that il Ramsey and Eenne-
pin counties would stand by the state
Democratic ticket Thomas Wilson
would be elected. LIDO not charge that
these two counties did not do their part,
but do say that in other counties there
were enough Democrats who staid away
from the polls to more than make up
the 1,200 votes which Wilson lacked of
being elected. The Democrats now
have their warpaint on. Throughout
the state not one will stay at home
Il only remains for Ramsey and
Hennepin counties to do their part,
and from what | have seen in the
past few days | believe they will.
1hlrty-two years is a long period to ell
trust to one party. | care not what
party it is. The history of the country
shows that it is not we'll for one party
to remain so long in power. Why in The
South, where the Democratic party held
high sway for many years, the Repub-
licanS. when they went into control for
short time unearthed defalcationS and
frauds OF glaring character. 1t has
been thlrty-tWO years since any party
but the Republican has had an oppor-
tunlty to count the cash and look over
the affairs of Minnesota. Wisconsin,
HaS furnished us an illuStr-
Gus example of what long con-
tlnued Republican rule can do. During
the last year the Democratic admins
tration of that state has saved So. 900 in
expenses. The Republican administra-
tion had the state under obligations in
the sum of over 100000, and upon this
interest was being paid. This money
had gone into the pockets of Republican
politicians. l do not say that these
abuses exist i'll Minnesota, but | do say
that they are liable to exist where one
party is so long i'll power. l believe the
people OF this state are ready for
change. The people have made up their
minds. | believe if we stand shoulder
to shoulder, reaching out warm hand
to the thousands of Republicans who be-
lieve with us that the interests of this
section OF the United States demand
tariff reform we shall be able to see a
grand victory on the Sth day of No
vember.
