Mr.. Donnelly is the only man in
Minnesota who can brag any (if he
chooses) over his meetings. Every
other speaker in our field is ''doing

In Ortonville, with brass band and
a street march they got so together
and one-half were gone in half an

Roger @. Mills of Texas, author of
the Mills Tariff bil-the one Knute
Nelson voted for and alienated so
many of his republican supporters
has retired from political life. He
was big factor in the fight for the
speakership of the house, last ses-
sion, against Crisp, who so treacher-
ously went back on his constituency
and the members OF the house whose
votes placed him in that position as
the advocate of free coinage. Mills
later on made a vigorous canvas to
put hims elf in place OF Senator Rea-
gan who resigned his seat in the
United State Senate. The state leg
islature OF Texas will appoint Sen
ator Reagan's successor, this session.
Roger @, in the hope OF securing
the senatorial toga, left the senate
to make personal CANVAS of the
state, but he found in swinging
around the circle that he was mot
in it''-in fact that the democracy
in Texas is completely demoralized d.
He now says that on account of
"old age" and weakened health" he
will withdraw into reflective solitude.
The great tidal wave of alliance re-
form has washed him up on the
shores of private life. Mr.. Mills but
furnishes an example OF the political
wrecks that will be strewn over the
length and bredth of the land-after
November g.. There will be a great
rattling of dry bones this fall.
Every peoples party man ought to
make it a point OF duty, and carry
it on his heart, to bring at least one
new voter into the fold of the party
OF justice and progress. Try it and
see how it works.

The old cry of the democrats,
"only give us chance and we will
show you what we will do for the
people" has degenerated into sort
OF a mongrel sigh-a grunt, since the
closing of the last con gress. They
are like the boy who sat down on the
ice suddenly, they have nothing to
say, but they feel awfully bad. Well
how can they excuse themselves
There is not even shadow of an ex-
cuse for their cowardly and treach-
erous dealings with their constitu-
ents. In regard to the free coinage
bill it is sometimes said in extenua-
ton OF their acts that had they
passed the bill ''Bennie" would have
vetoed it. So he would, but then the
odium would have rested wholly
upon the republicans, and the demo
Gratis would have rid themselves OF
that white nightmare, which is
worse than mill stone tied to their
political necks. No, the unvarnished
truth is that they are under the
domination, soul, body and breeches,
OF Wall street, and their financial
policy is dictated. them, the same as
it is to the republicans. There were
SO republicans in congress and 235
democrats-and the dems couldn't
do anything for the benefit OF the
masses because the reps wouldn't let
them. 1t was a clear case of mind
over matter, or quality versus
quantity, or 1913 souls with but a
SINGLE thought, 323 hearts that beat
as one, and that "beat" was for
Wall street and the gold bug-but
after November 8 they will beat a
retreat and groan over what "might
have BEEN"

Gentlemen, unless the old parties
get in some tremendous work in
October, Mr.. Donnelly is elected gov
ernor OF Minnesota by solid Ma
jority. You can count on it today.
But we cannot foresee the effect OF the
money power. The Australian bal
lot is in our favor, however.
We are surprised. After "belting'
the state-and occupying nearly
every county, excepting in the south
west, we are thoroughly satisfied.
Let the other 'fellers'' do the scream
ing from now until Nov. Sth-and
the pooh-poohing. Just keep steel
brace along your spinal column.
Unless there is a revultion the state
OF Minnesota is ours. We have been
told OF defections to Offset our great
increase. Upon examination the
''defections' have been mythsl There
are no defections, but great gains.
The gains in the northwestern
counties have not been large. How
could they be? Take township
with II votes, and with rs peoples
party votes to one for the enemy
and that the postmaster-how are
you going to get a gain there!-un-
less you bury the P. NJ?
Minnesota for the peoples party!
At all events the fight is between
Lawler and Donnelly! Nelson is not
in it.

That splendid banquet held by
knute Nelson, D. B. Searle (Judge),
and Banker Diamond Mendenhall,
under the hostship of Jim Hill, the
great railroad King. is echoing
around the world!
EVEN THE ENGLISH JOURNALS
are referring to the perfdy OF Ameri-
can Jurisprudence, where the Judge
in the case goes to the Office OF the
defendant with the prosecution
and connives at compromises, and
unseen treaties! And where the no.
minee for governor and congressman
can go to gilded clubhouses and be
the banquet guest-not alone OF
princely despoilers OF the public, but
OF lords and magnates OF the opposi-
ton party! For, mind you, Jim
Hill is a democratic boss!'
IN THAT BELsHAzzAR's FEAST
knute Nelson signed his political
death warrant. When the American
people become so lost to sense, prud-
ence, patriotism and justice as to per-
NIT such an outrageous insult, then
American citizenship is cheap. All
the republican hireling press can do
is to seek to excuse it. But to ex-
cuse is to kill. The handwriting is

The Minneapolis Tribune in speak
ing OF Peck's figures on the high pro-
tective tariff question says: "He
peek will go to jail before he will
surrender his data to the mug
wumps." Indeed, as the testimony
produced shows that the sdata" was
consigned to hot furnace and Gre
mated, how could he produce the
"data' even when required by a man
damus so to do? His report is on a
par with an anonymous letter-there
is no one to corroborate the state
ment nor shoulder the responsibility
Poor Peck, he is indeed in a peck OF
