The Norman County Herald Boasts

The Norman County Herald Boasts
Rev. FaIk Gjertson.
Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertson, of Minneapo-
lis, is devOting great deal of his time
at present to stumping the state for
Knute Nelson. The method he pursues
in this work is peculiar, to say the least,
and savors of false pretenSe and trick
cry. Editor j. G. Norby, of the Norman
County Herold, low tariff man who
left the Republican party in 1888, when
it took its stand for McKinleyism at
Chicago, has observed Rev. Mr.. Gjert.
sons methods, and in his paper criti-
ciseS him severely. He does not object
to a minister taking part in politics, but
he does object TO the employment of
crooked methods by such minister. Mr..
Norby says:
Of all contemplate subterfuges ever
employed in politics, one now being
used by some Republicans in this part
Of the state deserves special mention.
There is in Minneapolis a minister of
the gospel 10y the name of Gjertson. He
is scholar, a brilliant man. and this
year Republican. His services have
been engaged for Knute Nelson. Now,
mind you, we do not object to his work
ing for Nelson or taking hand in poll
tics because he is servant of the Lord.
Frequently we think ministers could
serve the devil mean trick by taking a
hand in politics. But it is the manner
in which he is launched out we find
fault with. A typewriter petition for
his coming is sent to the different places
where his work is expected to be
needed. with the request that re-
spectacle number of petitions be OBJ
tanned to the same. This petition states
that the object for which he is wanted
is to deliver a lecture Oh the Progress
of the Scandinavians i'll America" So
far it looks well. But accompanying
this petition is letter from a promi-
nent politician explaining that it is
really for Knute Nelson the sanctimoni-
Gus Falk Gjertson is putting on his best
Iicks. Come and speak for Nelson or
whoever you choose. That is honest.
But don't beat around the bush and
pretend to come here for some other
purpose. The Republicans must have
come to pretty pass indeed when they
resort to such contemplate little tricks

ATTEND THE PRIMaRIEs.

The Democratic county convention
will be held Tuesday next. and the pri-
marieS on the day preceding. The
GLOBE calls on all the Democrats of
this city and the adjoining country to
be present in person at their proper
polling places and to take hand i'll the
selection of delegates. The utmost pub
licity and more than a weeks notice
have been given, and any man who is
interested has the means for informing
himself as to where and when he will
have the opportunity of expressing his
opinion about the complexion of the
pariy's ticket. If he fails to do this,
he will have himself alone to
blame should the candidates prove
unworthy ones But the unhappy
results of his neglect will not end there.
In the national and state contests the
Democracy is headed by good men,
chosen in response to resiStless popu-
lar demand. The method of their selec-
tion has fixed the standard which ought
to be followed in the work yet to be
done. Every voter who proposes to CO.
operate with the party this fall should
HdFG d VOlCC Ill llS preliminary COuHCllS.
and he can have it if he is willing to
make the effort. Let him make the
effort and assert himself, that the hon
ors may fall to the deserving rather
than to those most diligent in seeking
them. The vlgor and hope of the
pending campaign must not be
brought to nothing by the weight
of improper material on the local
ticket. For every Office able, clean.
earnest, respected citizens must be
named. The GLOBE pledges its sup
port to no others. no matter what their
political faith may be. The people have
this whole matter under their control.
Let them beStir themselves, because
there is much at stake. The difference
between weak and strong county
ticket may mean the difference between
defeat and victory in the general elec-
tions. Individual ambitions must give
way. The cause is the great thing. Let
the people see that it triumphs.

THE SPEAKERS FUND.

The popular subscriptions to the Dem
ocratic Speakers Fund are still coming
in with general vigor that testifies to
the interest taken III every section of
the state in the success of Democratic
principles and candidates i'll the ap-
preaching election. Never in the his
tory of the state have the common peo-
pie been so enthusiastic. This cam
paign is their own and they are thor
oughly aroused. They are working,
studying, fighting. The Speakers
Fund is one of the evidences of their
interest and determination.
The fund has passed the $1,000 mark
and is steadily soaring toward the
$1,000 figure. A few days ago several
contributions were credited ito Winnie
bago City that should have been given
to Verona. The Democrats of the latter
city are especially aggressive and de-
serve all credit. The fund to date is as
follows.

ARE you farmer?
Have you a free wheat market?
Do you want one?
Will you help?
MIR. ROOSEVELT Is EXCITED.

TEDDY" ROOSEVELT is excited
again. In other and more dignified
words, Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
chairman of the civil service commits
sion, is in state of great mental un-
rest. Mr.. ROOSEVELT is a staunch Re-
publican unofficially, but officially he
feels bound to go against the cardinal
principle of his party. He doesn't be-
lieve in working the federal treasury to
for that matter). He is opposed, vIo-
lently and unassuageably opposed, to
the entire bread-and butter plan of cam
paigning. His heart is really in his work,
and his work is ostensibly to protect
and cherish the sad-eyed goddess OF
civil service reform. Knowing thus
much about Hon. THEODORE, it is easy
to understand his present perturbation.
He feels it incumbent OH him to stem
the tide of bread -and-butter politics. and
the while TEDDY" essays this heroic
role the practical politician in the White
house laughs softly up his sleeve. Mr..
RoosEvELT's present specific cause of
complaint is his discovery that the Re-
publican campaign committee has been
levying assessments Oh Indian agents.
OF course it has. and OH all other office
holders, too, that it can reach. That's
what the committee is there for, and
that's what it considers the Office
holders are there for. 1t is of no use,
TEDDY" for you to get red in the face
and overheated. You can't alter the
practices of your party, because you
can't change its nature. Only adversely
and defeat can do that, and the Demo-
cratic party has.that job in hand.

John Diamond Declares the Farm
ers Are Ripe for Reform.
"Send speakers to every part of the
state to expose this wheat ring and the
people will give their votes to Law
ler."
The Republican organs and the state
central committee of that party cannot
prevent the people reading the exposure
of the great combine that has been
sucking the very life blood of the farm
erS of the state 1or so many years and
their frantic denials of everything are
convincing no one. The people are
able to read and understand the testi-
mony i'll this case, and no defenders of
the wheat robbers will be able to de-
ceive them this time. The quotation at
the head of this article is from one of
many similar letters received by the
GLOBE in the last few days, and shows
how the people are receiving the wheat
ring exposure. This particular letter
was written by Hon. John Diamond,
one of the leading farmers of Blue
Earth county. The full letter follows:
To the Editor of the Globe.
Your noble stand and labor to open up
the wheat market is Godsend and a
new Moses to free the farmers of the

sure of the wheat ring combine will
show the farmers that they are slaves at
their will, and the only hope to free the
farmers is grand work. Your paper
(the GLOBE) is educating the farmers
how to free themselves by electing ID.
w. Lawler for governor and all the
state officers, to change railroad cOm-
missioners, the chief grain inspector,
the weighmaster and all connected with
the grain department: to have honest
grades and honest weighing. Under
the Republican administration this
grading and weighing is fraud upon
the farmers. Every farmer 1 meet asks
''Have you read the GLOBE of the 18th,
10Th, Goth, the exposure of the wheat
ring?" Your advice that the farmers take
pledges of our representatives to vote
to sustain free market is proper and
right. We owe you vote of thanks in
defending our cause against this great
combination. If there ever was time
to move this administration, the Repub-
licanS, it is here. The farmers should,
and will, assist in electing LAWYER to
give them free market and cheap
prison twne. Send speakers to every
county 10 expose this wheat ring. and
the people will give their votes to Law

HIS RULING PASSION.

There is an interesting combination
of personal heroism and pecuniary
thrift in DONNELLY'S bearing under the
threat Of assassination. AT one OF his
party'S rallies, the other night, he read
all extract from Republican newspa-
per which. with his rare power OF IN
sight, he Interpreted as meaning that
there was dark plot on foot TO put him
out of the way by violence. What the
paragraph really said was that its au-
thor would not have DoNNELLY live
forever. This perhaps was impolite,
but it surely was pardonable, consider
ing the prOv0cation. 1t served quite
well, however, as a threat for the pur-
poses of political oratory, and with
sublime rhetoric the Sage expressed
his complete willingness to die for the
sake of the dear people, in whose cause
he is laboring. The reporters who were
present were so much impressed by his
exhibition of manly courage and devo-
ton that they tarried after the meeting
to talk with him further about it. To
them he said that as soon as he got Ieis-
ure he was going to consult his attorney
as to his rights against the newspaper
which had treated him SO unfeelingly; {;
and presumably, if the law gives suffi-
cient encouragement, the papers in an
other libel suit will be added to the files
of some one OF our district courts. The
GLOBE does not believe that DoNNELLY
is in danger of any sort of martyrdom
except that which will be involved
in his defeat at the polls, or thai
he will get any nearer to assassina-
tion then occasionally making donkey
OF himself. But he is entitled to the
credit of sincerity and undoubtedly
meant what lie said when he expressed
his fears of an awful fate awaiting him.
How delightful to notice that even
under such circumstances his character
istic habit of mind does not desert him,
and that he medItates ON the possibility
of turning few dollarsfwhile he hurls
defiance at his assaiIant. Even with
DoNNELLY the ruling passion is strong
in the face of death.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Not less important will be the legis-
the same day. The list of Republican
aspirants for seats in the next legis-
lature from this county has already
been practically determined on. The
GLOBE has no hesitancy in saying that,
with two or three exceptions, it is un-
speakably bad. The ignorant, the inju-
dicious, the weak and the dishonest are
all represented on it. The Democracy
has here rare opportunity to display
its superior caliber. When a United
States senator is TO be chosen, legiSla-
tive career promises many attractions to
the corrupt. and they are tireless in their
scheming for nominations. Let the
enemy have a monopoly of such mate
rial The thing for us to do is to put up
in every district candidates of high
character, who understand the needs of
the city and who will prove so infiuen-
tial with their colleagues that they can
accomplish what they undertake for the
public good. The Democracy has not
always been careful about this i'll the
past. 1t has sometimes met with defeat
because its leaders were unfit, and
sometimes it has elected men who were
unequal to the duties of the positions in
which they had been placed. This is a
good year to break away from such
methods. Let us have strong legisla-
tive ticket, which will reflect credit on
st. Paul and the party.
