and money. Whenever the local COM
mittees of the Republican party need
money, and cannot raise it from other
sources, they have carte blanche to draw
on Lowry for what they need. Two
years ago they boasted openly Of
the thousands he had thrown into their
treasury. And it is but inatural that
Lowry should give "aid and comfort
to the Republican party in Minneapolis.
The Republicans have given him his
hold upon the city, the hold that has
raised him in few years from petit
Jogging lawyer to the position OF the
wealthiest man in the city. The Re
pubicans first took from the people and
gave to Lowry the exclusive franchise
to operate street railway in Mlnneap-
oils. A few years ago Lowry Volull-
tarily Surrended his exclusive franchise,
when he Discarded horse power for a
cheaper motive power, electricity. But
the Republican aldermen could not
bear to see poor Mr.. Lowry make sucil
a sacrifice. Thcy insisted that he
should retain ali exclusive franchise.
Now they want to S..,iu delegation to
the legislature that WI iayr i.owry'S
exclusive franchise cOnii!ih,t. J legiS-
latiVe enactment.
Just as sure as Minnesota gels le-
liably Republican legislature and Re
publican delegation from Minneapolis.
the legislature will confirm Lowry's eX-
elusive right to bleed the people OF Min
neapolis.
This profusion of favors from the Re-
publicans of Minneapolis has made
Lowry bold.
He does not now beg favors, but de-
mands them.
Lowry's part in this campaign passes
the o mt of boldnesS ana becomes su-
preme arrogance, dictation.
In the Republican conventions this
year Lowry has welded the whip of the
Slave driver Its Mss and crack have
been heard above the tumult OF the con-
Vention hall. In the county convention
the men he wanted were nominated for
the legislature.
In the city convention Lowry was
king.
Lowry dictated the nomination of
William Henry Eustis.
Lowry dictated the domination, for
aldermen, of Snyder in the Second ward;
of Durham in the Third ward; Of Adams
in the Fourth ward; of Erickson in the
Sixth ward; of Woodward and Nordeen
in the Seventh ward; of Grimes in the
Eighth ward; of Bradsh in the. Ninth
ward, and of Blichteldt i'll the Eleventh
ward.
Lowry has not turned loose all the
power of the street railway company to
nominate these men, but he is now pay
ing salaries to others who electioneer
for his creatures.

for the Republican campaign literary
bureau.
All this week Republican campaign
literature has been distributed from til .
stree: cars. Not only have the cam
pagn documents of the Republican
party found a place on the street car S,
but the employees Of the company have
been forced to take an active part in
bringing this campaign literature be-
fore the public. Many Of these cam
paign documents are in the form OF zap
peals to wOrkingmen."
Tom Lowry making appeals to work
ingmen! Think of it!
Where will the power of Lowry end?
At first he was content with merely
pulling the wires and directing the
campaign from his private Office.
Next he Is found giving personal Or
ders for the publication in his paper of
an appeal to race and religious preJu-
dice.
Here he comes now, using his street
cars for the distribution of Republican
campaign MISUNDERSTANDING the theo-
res that have crushed American labor
down the throats of the workingmen.
How much longer will the working
men suffer under l,owry'S lash?
No better source for arguments
against the return of the Republican
party to power in Minneapolis can be
found than Republican newspapers.
On the 22d day Of last July the Jour
nal published the following.
"The city's way OF doing business is
like the prevailing style of shirts de-
cidedly negligee. A striking example
of municipal laXity was discovered to-
day by a curious city official. who is
somewhat interested in the lighting
question. This gentleman in his inveSti
CATION discovered that on May 8, 1899, the
city council passed an ordinance giving
10 the Edison Electric Light and Power
company the right to tear up the streets
and lay conduits for its wires therein.
In consideration of the passage of this
OnC oSlSOo W pQy
into the city treasury on the 1st day of
February of each year per cent of its
gross earnings for the first two years,
and after that such a percentage as
should be determined by the council.
According to the ordinance there should
have been three payments into the city
treasury already. But not cent has
the city received. nor is there any way
of telling how much it should have re-
ceived."
This matter was brought 10 the atten-
ton of the council. The city council
ordered the city attorney to take steps
to collect the money due the city. A
short time ago a GLOBE man visited the
city attorneys Office to ascertain what
had been done. lie learned what had
been done.
Nothing!
The Republican city attorney has not
observed the mandates of the council.
The Republican city council has not
asked why its command has been dis
obeyed by the Republican city attorney
for three months.
The Republican council and the Re-
publican city attorney have not had an
eye to the interests of the city.
Frank F.DaVlS geCS nOtlce this week
in the Irish Standard for bis bombastic,
undigDitied, ungentlemanly, slanderous
attacks upon Daniel w. Lawler. The
Standard says:
sFrank Davis is defunct Republican
who could not be elected to the Office of
dog catcher OF scavenger i'll this city
where he is best known, and anything
emanating from him by the way of re-
Election on Dan Lawler will give the
latter hundreds of votes. even among
those who listened to his assailant.
Davis is a renegade Democrat who
siumped New York for Hancock in
1880. Coming to Minneapolis, he joined
the then majority party, who rewarded
his apostacy by making him county at
torney."
Here is another sample of the letters
the GLOBE has received from Scandi-
navanS in protest against the manipu-
lation of a few ministers by Tom Lowry,
and one of the miidest of the lot:
