THAT "LAsr APPEAL"
Filled With Frantic Whimperings
That ForebOue Defeat.


1.-THE campaign is over-the lines of battle
are drawn-nothing remains but that every
voter in Minnesota should stand by his guns
and shoot to kill. for it has been campaign
to make every patriotic man in this state feel
that he has but one duty. and this to rebuke
the slanderous and INSCRIPTIONS assault
upon truth, upon decency, upon the ordl-
nary courtesies of politics OF which the
Democratic committee and its organs have
been guilty. Appeal of the Republic
an State Committee.
Yes. the lines of battle are drawn, and
the Republicans are on the run. The
Democrats are doing all the shooting,
and by this evening the field will be
strewn seven deep with Republican
carcaSSeS.
What do MeSsrS. JamiSon and BiXby
mean by patriotic man"' Surely they
must mean patriotic to the Republican
party. The patriots of that party have
grown beautifully less within the past
few years. Patriotic to what? The Re-
publican party; and what is that? Two
years ago the Republican party was one
thing; today it is another. What Is the
Republican party? 1t is confederation
of men who are out for the ''Stutf."
Wherein has the Democratic party
slandered and assaulted truth? 1t has
quoted the arguments OF the Republican
party of two years ago to defeat the Re
publican party of the present. 1t has
quoted the very language used by that
party of the past, without changing one
word. Those arguments were good
enough without reSorting to anything
else. And the Islander and abuse used
in this campaign has come from the
Republican and not the Democratic side.
Would the chairman and secretary OF
the Republican committee accuse the
Democrats of being INSCRIPTIONS? How
about the great roOrback which was
iss:ed by the Republican state commit
tee of two years ago? That promulga-
ton was one of the baSeSt falSehOOdS
ever concocted, and it cost the Demo
Gratis many votes and secured the cleo
ton of Merriam by fraud.
Again from the appeal:
THE Democratic party stands today and
asks the sufrages of the people as the foe OF
enemy of honest money, the champion and
ally OF Great Britain aud her comm ercal
system. .o.,
Does this not sound like ''guff?" This
is jingoism and peanut politics. Is the
committee seeking to save Its hopeless
cause by stirring up race prejudice? Or
has it an idea that anybody Is so shallow
as to believe that the Democratic party
is more interested i'll the welfare of
Great Britain than i'll the land where 1T
earns its existence? No one can be
made to believe that the Democratic
party is not just as much interested in
The prosperity of this great nation as
the Republican.
ITO the voters of Minnesota the Republic
an party makes its last appeal
The Democratic party will not dispute
this, 1t will see that the funeral eXer-
cises are conducted with due regard for
the sacredness of the occasion. 1t re-
grets that its old-time rival should go
down in such ignomny, when its OppOr-
tunitieS were so great.
This has been a campaign of destruction.
The Democratic party promises nothing.
No, the Republican party is the party
of promises. 1t has promised tariff re-
form for twenty years, and has always
gone back on its promises.
Seeks only an opportunity to shame the
state by stealing four of its electoral votes; to
elect if possible, its state ticket on whis
pered issues which it dare not name; to give
q seat in the United States senate TO any man.
however unfit and unworthy so only that it
may destroy the Republican majority i'll the
upper house at Washington"
How is the Democratic party to steal
four of the presidential electors? By
the votes of the people, and in no other
way. The Republicans do not charge
that it Will be done by other means. Is
1T crime to elect anybody but Repub-
lican electors?
How will the Democrats deprive the
Republicans of United States senator?
BY the votes of the people.
Is that dastardly outrage?
WiIl-the Democratic party be guilty
of an unpardonable sin if it succeeds in
breaking the Republican majority in
the United States senate?
