TEN GOOD REASONS
Why the Sixth Minnesota District
Should Send Judge Searle 10
Congress.
Ee Knows What the District Needs
aud Knows How to Serve His
People.
At the Beginning Of Its History, the
Sixth District Should Start
Right.

Right.
A few final reasons are here briefly
put why voters of the Sixth distric
should cast their ballots for Hon. D. B
Searle for congress:
First-He is one Of the leading mon Of
the state in point Of ability, legal knowl
edge, eloquence and general attain
ments. ..
Second-He Is in the prime Of life, in
perfect physical health; and. having
been for nearly a quarter Of century &
resident Of the district, win know the
needs and wants Of the people he b
called to represent better than q newer
man.
Third-He is q veteran soldier of the
late war, and served his country with
honor and courage In the days Of her
dire distress.
Fourth-ae was for long years con.
nected with one of the leading executive
departments in Washington city, and
thus became acquainted with the meth
DDS pursued in the transaction of public
business in all their varied details.
>Fifth-He has a wide and intimate
personal acquaintance with tho public
men of the state and nation, and is thus
fitted to seek and secure such legislation
rs his district may need.
Sixth-For many years past he has
been entrusted with high and response
BILE official positions, and in every place
of trust he has acquitted himself with
honor. His intimate acquaintances
have learned that as business man no
is Of the striotest integrity; as an at
torney Trustworthy; as a judge. wise,
just. and strictly non-partisan; as a
friend and neighbor, truthful, social
and generous.
Seventh-He lives in the midst of one
of the most fertile agricultural districts
in the state, Is himself farmer, and has
been elevated to every Office it has been
his fortune to hold by the suffrage Of
men who till the soil. His entire educa.
ton and experience, therefore, fits him
to understand the needs, wants and
wishes of an agricultural constituency,
and to secure legislation that will meet
those demands.
Eighth-He is no political selfseeker,
and has never used his large official ex-
perience in ministering to his own selfish
wants; but has used all of his opportu-
mites for the good of his fellow citizens
who have advanced and entrusted him
as they have gradually learned of his
many good qualities.
Ninth-He is more widely known to
the people of the Sixth district, prob
ably, than any other citizen therein;
and this personal acquaintance with the
leading men gives him the power to
meet the various wants of the different
sections much better than representa-
tive who is comparatively new to the
state and ignorant of its history.
Tenth-He Is Republican. He be-
ieves firmly in the American system of
protection to American labor. He
knows that the destiny of the Sixth dis
trict for prosperity or adversely is def.
nitely interviewer with the Republican
policy of protection; that If this sec
ton of Minnesota is to become the work
shop of the commonwealth it must
develop along the lines laid down BY
and through the protective principle.
He knows that Duluth, st. Cloud, Little
Falls, Grand Rapids, Anoka, Sank
Centre, Tower. Hinckley, Cloquet,
Brainerd and dozens Of other cities,
towns and villages in this DISTRICT
some of them yet unsettled and un-
named-must by the very force Of their
surroundings become great manufactur-
ing centers, or else remain as they are.
He knows that they can never como 70
be centsrs Of great wealth ana pspula-
ton through any other than tho adu-
trial system that il fossered and
strengthened nay, created-by the
policy of protection. Therefore, he is a
Republican and a protectionist, and
would be if he stood entirely alone in
the advocacy of that policy. He knows
that an immense area of his district In
today wilderness, and that nothing
save the wizard touch Of human labor
can redeem this wilderness to the uses
of humanity. He knows that the Re-
publican party has from its birth worked
constantly within the lines of the policy
that protects the American laboripg
man and mechanic; and that its policy
as enumerated in its platforms today is
everywhere the same-that it stands for
the rights of labor, the duties Of labor,
the dignity of labor, and hence the final
triumphs of labor.
Finally-Judge Searls il known to the
people of his district a. honest, capable.
reliable, able, eloquent, just, substan-
tial and Republican. Having filled every
trust repossd in him with fidelity and
dignity, it would seem to be the entirely
proper thing to advance him to seat in
congress.
Judge Searls's competitor in the race
Is doubtless an excellent gentleman.
But it is the doctrines for which Major
Baldwin stands and the crowd that win
guide and control his action If elected.
that make him dangerous to the people
OF the Sixth district. His entire inf1u-
ence would be cast, were he chosen to
serve the Sixth DISTRICT, Ia the interest
OF the Democratic policy Of free trade,
Therefore, from the most conservative
point Of view 1t is vine to give Judge
Searle rousing majority at the coming
election, 80 that the whole county mag
at once understand that the new Sixth
district has begun right, at the vsr,,
beginning Of its political history.
Northeastern Minnesota, and par
hcularly that portion of the state hav-
Ing its interests with Duluth and the
head of Lake Supeff1, can have no
sort OF sympathy with 10 "tsrff for
revenue" planf in the Dez6seraSIe plat
form. The recent discovery Of fner-
haustibls mon deposits, In Slxt ssstaon Of
the state ferMhadows its ixlasssial fes-
