hich is In opposition to the
Republican party and to the Democratic
party! He has wonderful influence,
my friends, with the leaders of the Re-
publican party Of this state. There is
not prominent Democrat in this state
who has enough influence with the Re-
publican administration to get one of his
Sons a Position
for four years in the Office of the Re-
publican attorney general of this state,
and to have son-in-law for more than
four years in the Office of the grain in
spector of this state. That Is the leader
of the Peoples party, my friends. Those
are bargains made between this man and
the Republican leaders of this state;
they are made in partial payment Of
the services which Mr.. Donnelly rem
dered tho Republican party two years
ago and four years ago. And this man
today poses as the honest and consistent
leader Of the third party. have moth
ing unkind to say about the members
of the third party. L believe that the
rank and file of that party are actuated
by honest and pure political motives. l
would hurl from this platform public
speaker of any political party who
would say word tending to diScredit
them or to censure their intelligence or
their patriotism. Applause. But l
think it is right that they know these
political facts, which cannot be dis
puted, and they are entitled to know
them when this man, with braZen au-
dacity, comes before the peO
pie of Ramsey county and at
tempts to malign the name and the
fame of one of its own citizens. lie

fault with the youth of the Democratic
candidate. am glad he picked out that
fault. 1t is the only fault in all the long
category of human weaknesses and
frailties that know you wont blame
me for. because you know that
cannot help it. Laughter and
applause. He has been with all
political parties except the Demo
cratic party. He testified under oath in
the famous Pioneer Press libel suit at
Minneapolis that he had never voted
the Democratic ticket in his life. l was
very sure that he had made tho state

and to avoid making any assertions that
were not true or not based on fact, L

This man poses as champion and q

even of his most Jealous and most
enthusiastic champions, that can evel
point to all honest days labor that

that he ever performed has been i'll the
