Every voter should remember that the
law specifically provides for half holi-
day on election day, and no one can
possibly have the excuse that he could
not vote for lack of time. The law also
mentions that it shall be the forenoon
of election day, and every workingman
should make it his duty to go and vote
in the morning. The law gives you the
privilege whether your employer does
or not.
William Banholzer is probably one of
the best qualified men in the city for
the position of city treasurer. His
early education was almost entirely de-
voted to the learning of commercial
matters, and when in later years he
took hold of the business of his father
he showed that he had not wasted his
time. AS a young man he took hold OF
it. and today stands as one OF the most
prominent young business men III the
city.

There will be an Open-alr meeting in
the Fifth ward Monday night, and
hard matter to find man who will not
vote for Bob Smith. The old reliable
Fifth will give him one of the biggest
majOrities of any in the city, and it is
predicted by many that it will be the
largest.
Il
The Republican campaign committee
is wasting considerable white paper in
spreading dodgers around the city
through the agency of the small boy.
But then it must be remembered that
the colonel has whole warehouse full
of white paper, and, while he will not
make any pledges on 1t himself, he is
perfectly willing that his committee
shall tell all the lies on it that they
choose.
i
"There are moments when we would
like to be alone" Down in the paper
cellar on lower Third street this sad re-
colonel is practicing to sing it prepara-
tory to his trip up Salt creek. The col
onel will have lots of company. but il is
understood he has been engaged to
sing the leading ten (or) twenty roll.
How do the Prohibitionists relish the
idea of Col. Wright campaigning with a
brewery man through the Sixth ward,
especially in the face of the promises
they claim he made to them told at the
recent meeting held on the hill? A
desperate cause needs desperate cure,
and it may be possible that the colonel
will have to go to Dwight and take a
little bi-chloride of gold about the fourth
of May.
Several especial leaders of the politi-
cal cabal have been eXpending a great
deal of energy the past day or two to
convince the voters that there is no COL
luson between the cabal and the Re
publicans. Their SOphistrieS, however,
lack the ring of an honest declaration
of principles. Their arguments are
paIpabIe deceits. Despite all their
denials they are coquetting together.
and at all their ward rallies they repeat
each others seditious protests. And the
same is applicable in every sense to the
campaign of the Prohibition party.
Il
The absence of dirty political tactics
in all the Democratic meetings stands
in refreshing contrast to the filth and
vituDeration that is emptied at every
Republican, Prohibition and Citizens
meeting. This is marked by the intel
| ligent voters, and instead of aiding the
cause of-Col. Wright, the disreputable
assaults Of the stump speakers and
| rosterers that are under pay of the
| hybrid ticket are real benefit to the
| Democratic canvass. When notorious
malcOntentS, who have antagoniZed the
best interests and progress of the city
for many years take the stump for the
| sole purpose of reyiling such men as

| severely rebuked.
II
A seditious attempt is now being
made by the cabal to provoke few un-
| thinking men to vote the hybrid ticket
! next Tuesday. A circular has been
issued and is being distributed on the
street corners, and the keynote of this
circulariS the Hall -FiuZsimmons glove
| contest that was interrupted by the
governor and the national guard. In
| reviewing the events there are mali
| ciouS and wilful false statements made.
| The circular goes step further
and alleges felonious and over acts 10y
| the administration. As Judge Wood
said at recent political meeting, pre-
sided over by the Republican managers:
| If these things be true, and the mer
who so openly and overtiy go about de-
| claring them to be true. know it, they
are towards and bad citizens that they
| do not at once swear out warrants fol
| the arrest of the responsible officials .
The Judge even went further and vol
unteered to go with any responsible clti.
zen, who could produce sufficient proof:
| on which to base a criminal action, anC
| get out the warrants himself.

But no honest citizen believes thai
| Mayor Smith or any other ST. Paul Off
calls a criminal. The gentlemen named
| on the Democratic ticket have been resi-
dents of the city a great many years
| hOnored and respected by everybody
| 1t is only when spoilsmen make an in
| sane attempt to get into office that these
slanderers and calumnieS disgrace st

each succeeding campaign.
Il
The policy and course of the Demo
| cratic speakers is that of thorough gen
tlemen. They despise epithets anC
mendacity, and they devote their talents
to reason and elucidatlon. This course
| is having a telling effect upon the pub
lie mind and the result will be shown
Tuesday.

Prof. Jansen, the Republican candi
