railroad corporations they want al
this and more of the same kind, ther
they may vote for fusion candidates for
the legislature. If they do not want
this, they will vote for the Republican
candidates.
Two years ago the farmers had reason
to hope that their representatives would
be able to accomplish at least some.
thing for their benefit. Never were
trusting constituents more basely be.
trayed.
Will they repeat the experiment this
year IN the face Of the damnable record
of the last fusion legislature?
Will they again entrust their purse to
Q combination which Is sure to be even
more unscupulous, more defiant, more
reckless than the lastp
, Up to two years ago the farmers of
Minnesota had presented their demands
to Republican legis latures, and they
were invariably complied with. All
farmer legislation on our statute books
today originated in this way.
What has been gained, since large
number of our farmers withdrew their
influence from the Republican party
and transferred their allegiance to ire
sponsible demagogues?
Let every farme or answer this ques-
tion for himself.
The main object of the Democratic
Populist fusion on the legislative ticket
is the election Of Mike Doran as United
States senator. That is what the Dssuo-
cratic endorsement of four Weaver
electors really means In return for this
empty, useless compliment the farmers
of Minnesota, who are members of the
Peoples party, are expected to lend
a hand in electing Mike Doran as a
United States senator from Minnesota.
That is the bidding of the
Chicago wheat gamblers. That is the
reward they expect for their rich con-
tributions to the Democratic campaign
fund. They know they can rely uper
the great bucket shop owner Of st. Paul
to oppose any legislation to suppress
gambling in wheat.
Will the farmers permit themselves to
be fooled in this way.
Is it possible that they will walk,
and with open eyes, into
the trap set for them?
Can it be that they, Willingly and
knowingly, are going to support dark
plot the object of which is to select
heir very worst enemy to legislate for
hem?
It cannot be. The farmers of Mime
'ota are not going to cut their own
;hroats at the bidding of the wheat
gamblers Of Chicago.
The duty of the Republican party is
