Driven Into the Last Ditch,

scribe the so-called address issued by
the chairman of the Republican state
central committee yesterday.
Its every word and paragraph con-
cedeS the defeat of the defenders, abet-
tors and patrons of ring rule and dis
honest politics. 1t is gasp for breath,
and the mind of the man who penned it
must be sadly out of gear.
Chairman JamlsOn, to use popular
phrase and one full of meaning, "has
wheels in his head" OF course he has
had very hard row to hoe in this cam
paign, and it is no small wonder that he
has become sperate-many stronger
and abler men would have given up the
job of defending ali the high-toned rob-
berS who have been fattening off of the
state and nation for years, and gone
home long ago. But Chairman Jamison
could have chosen some method of wind
ing up the defensive campaign that
would have left him with few particles
of self-respect. and would have given
the Republican ticket more votes.
The people of Minnesota have been
against the Republican rings and COM
binations all through this campaign,
ana have refused to be caught by any
of the bats so cunningly offered by
Chairman Jamison, and the Doodle that
has been sent out in such quantities to
all parts of the state has 10 power to
stay or stem the tide.

epithets and innuendoes that no de-

are any people who doubt that Chair
man Jamison is in sore distress they
need only read few cnoice excerpts

one follows:
'It is all attempt to deprive this great

president and of her rightful share in

Who is attempting to deprive Mime
sofa of vote in the electoral college?
| The Democracy is very much interested
| in having the full vote of Minnesota
cast for president and vice president,
and it is not attempting to bulldoZe or
buy the election of its candidates.

But Chairman JamiSon grows wilder
as he goes on i'll his rawlings. Listen to
the following:
''1t is a scheme of deception. of fraud.
of infamy, of the rejection with con-
tempt of every principle that makes po-
litical action honorable or tolerable to
+ honest men,"
This sentence shows that the Repub-
lican state chairman is in the depths of
despair, for no sane man would sign his
name to such words as these.
And. by the wav. do not such words
sound strange coming from the lips of
Bob Jamison. the tool of a gang that
has and would resort to any trjckery or
any means to carry their ends. The
people have not forgotten the Doodle
campaign of the Republican party in
this state, any more shan they have the
fact that all through this campaign this
same Jamison has been the apologist
and defender of every ring and every
misdeed committed in this state.

say what you think of the fusion con-
summated between the bosses of the
