& Graphic Review Of G. o. P.
Decentralization by A. S.
Edwards.

The interests of tile state demand a
new deal in the state house.
1t is time that the people have an in
ming.
Turn the barnacles that have been
clinging TO the bottom of the ship of
state for third of century adrift. and
have their deeds and especially their
miSdeeds Investigated.
The rings have had things their own
way for so many years that they have
come to think that they own the state.
Notice the difference in the two candi-
dates for governor, Lawler and Nelson.
One has gone up and down through
the state. promising the people relief in
case of his election, at the same time
exposing the abuses that have so long
existed in the state government: the
other has promised nothing, devotlng
his entire time to defending his very
peculiar record.
In campaign lasting through three
long months the opponents of gallant
Dan w. LAWYER have been unable to
find single flaw in his character.
The Republican managers have not
attacked MIR. Lawler because they dared
not. No other Democrat of prominence,
living or dead, candidate or not a can
didate, has escaped their volleys of mud,
so frantically and wildly fired by the
despairing defenders and agents of the
various rings that are now and have for
so long been on top in this state.
knute Nelson has promised the peo-
pie no measures OF relief III case he is

Mr.. Nelson is the railroad candidate.
lis true that he has tried to deny
this, but how? By explaining that he
was for time, but. resigned the job
several years ago.
Ii this statement or eXplanationEiS
true, Mr.. Nelson should explain why it
was that during the last few years VIII, n
i'll st. Paul, he has always been found
in the office of ore of the great railway
corporations. There is not man who
has ever tried to meet Mr.. Nelson in
st. Paul, previous TO this campaign and
since he retired from congress, who has
not found him at the office of this rail
way company.
same office the day following his nomi:
nation in company with Judge d. b.
Searle, the Republican nominee for
congress i'll the Sixth district.
But there is no necessity for argument
on this point.
The people know that there will be
no railroad legislation under Mr.. Mel
son as governor.
They know that the state railroad
commission will continue to be the use
less and worthless appendage it has
been for years to the great political ma
chine of the state in case Mr.. Nels on is
made governor.
Dan Lawler has promised the people
relief.
Knute Kelson has evasively denied
that he has been railroad attorney,
and is now the corporation candidate
for governor.
But the people will not be fooled this
year.
Dan LAWYER has promised the farmers
Tree wheat market. and exposed the
combine that has been fattening off of
the farmers
knute Nelson has promised nothing,
and declared that there is no wheat
combine.
This issue is plain and clear enough
Tor every one to comprehend it.
If the farmers ana business men of
the state believe in closed market and
the continuance Of the combine thew
will vote for Mr.. Nelson. If they be-
lieve otherwise they will
vote for LAWYER and a new deal.
Inc Iron ring is for Mr.. Nelson be-
cause 1t means a saving of at least a
hundred thousand dollars year in the
way OF taxes. Of course the farmers
must pay the taxes this corporation
eyadeS, and in addition pay the expenses
OF the militia whenever the iron COM
pany cuts the wages of its employees
ana the latter object to new men being
Imported to fill their places.
The labOring men of this state should
remember that Capt. Joe Sellwood. of
Ely, is member of the Republican
state central committee. and that he is
the manager of the Minnesota Iron
company.
If Nelson is elected it mans that the
Minnesota Iron company. which paws
put $4,000 per year III taxes, will be
furnished police protection by the state
militia at cost of two or three times
this paltry sum whenever Capt. Sell
wood demands it.
Stltutlon, which says that all taxes shall
be uniform and equal, he enforced or
not?
1t the farmers of this state believe
that H-Should not, and that there should
be one way of levying the farmers
takes. and another Of levying the taxes

for Knute Nelson
Ii, on the contrary. the farmers and
business men believe that all men
should stand equal before the law they
