Under that sort of heading the fol-
lowing, which appeared in the Mime
apolis Tribune yesterday morning, was
reprinted:
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Nov 6.-Special-As
showing the proceedings of the Democratic
party the following circular, issued last even
ing by the st. Cloud branch of the railway
employees club Of the state is interesting.

served by the election of P. B. German as
representative to the Legislature from thi:
| district. and DanW LaWler for governor; also
that in pursuance to this recommendation
and the request of the executive board Of

deavors, and work for the election of the

HENRY BUsHMAN,
D. HARDING, Committee. -
The P. B. German referred to is the Dem
ocratic nominee for the legislature in this
district. He is the personal friend and
candidate of Michael Doran. The above was
issued by the employees of the
Great Northern railroad company of
which j. j. Hill is president The
railway employees club of the state is an as
sociation of several years standing. 1t was
organized at the request Of the railway
officials to elect desirable and defeat undesir-
able candidates for offices. committee of
this club serves as lobbyists in the
interest of railway legislation at
every session of the legislature. To gain
support Mr. German was required to- and
did pledge himself in favor of legislation in
favor of railway companies, inciudings the
putting on the railroad and warehouse com
mission of the state an active railroad man.
1t is presumed Mr.. Lawler made the same
pledge.
Work of Rascals.
This handful was printed in st. Paul,
by H. l.. Collins & Co., and last night
the Republican state central committee
began the distribution OF them in
Minneapolis. The GLOBE is informed
that large packages of the handbills
have been on hand several days. and
that bundles of them were sent out from
Republican headquarters before ever
the special here reproduced appeared
in the Minneapolis Tribune. 1t is the
elimination of deep-laid plot to
injure Mr.. Lawler at the last moment.
The Republican party, driven into q
corner, relies at the last moment upon
the dissemination of lies to defeat Mr..
Lawler. Mr.. Lawler has never had any
thing to do with the railway employees
club. He has made no pledges to tha
order. He has not been indorsed by
that organization. The Democrats Of
Minneapolis. where this handbill came
to light last night, attach no impor-
tance to it. The Republican managers
have tried to inveigle certain Minneap-
oils Democrats. candidates for the legis-
lature, into seeming friendly relation
with the club, but without success.
Their circular is designed for distribu-
ton in those parts of the state where
