STAND BY THE TICKET.

La his address at MapletOn Friday
night Senator Davis made state
ment that sounds the keynote of the
campaign when he said that while the
support of the national and state
tickets by all Republicans was, of
great Importance, the support of
county and municipal tickets was of
equal Importance, for they were
nearer the people, and came in every
day touch with them, and that this
fall especially it is important that
Republicans vote their ticket straight
from President to Coroner, for in so
doing the ranks of the party are
strengthened and success is more
readily assured.
This point is truely applicable to
the Republicans of Blue Earth coun-
ty this fall. They have presented for
their franchises ticket that is in
every respect deserving the support of
every Republican in the county. 1t
is a strong ticket. 1t is composed of
men who are clean, able and honest
and who if elected will look after the
peoples business in a buSiness-like
manner, and it is just as impOr-
tant to the best interests of the peo-
pie, that this ticket be elected in it's
entirety as it is that the Republican
candidates for President and for con-
gress be elected, and we believe that
as Republicans consider the subject
they will recognize its truth, and re-
spOnd accordingly.
Today in this county, the Demo-
cratic candidate for County Auditor,
L. 0. Randall, is claiming that he is
sure Of reelection because of the
Republican Scandinavians that will
vote for him. That he has them all
fixed and is dead sure OF their vote.
The FREE PRESS does not believe
that the Scandiuavians of Blue Earth
county will be led into party with
which they have no natural sympa-
thies, and whose policy is diametri-
cally opposed to their continued well
fare, 10y the nationality Of a candidate
upon the ticket of that party, and that
candidate so utterly unworthy of
their suffrages, and for which
he again aspires, as is L. o. Randall
The Observation-Disclosures are
among our best citizens, possessed of
high ideal as to the personal and Of
fetal integrity Of those whom they
honor with their votes for public
position, and it is because of this
that the FREE PRESS believes under
the present circumstances it will take
more than the mere question of ma
tionality to cause them to desert their
party. In the Republican candidate
for Auditor, j. G. Fowler, is present.
ed man who is thoroughly qualified
for the position, whose honesty has
never been questioned and who is en-
titled to every Republican vote that
will be cast in Blue Earth county.
1t is also rumored, and the FREE
PRESS does not deny the truthfulness
of the rumor, that the Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, w. j. Glynn, is
relying upon his reelection by the as
sistance Of the Welsh Republican
vote, because he appointed one of that
nationality as deputy sheriff. The
Welsh-AmericanS have always been
noted for their Republicanism and
at every election in what are known
as the Welsh towns have always
rolled up their accustomed majorities
for the straight Republican ticket.
In w. L. Perrin is candidate worthy
OF their united support, and we hard
ly believe they will desert him and
give aid and comfort to the opposi.
tion simply upon question of nation
ality.
Again it is said that G. H. Deitz.
the Democratic candidate for treas.
urer, expects to be elected because OF
the support he will get from the
German-American Republicans who,
it is claimed, will vote for him be-
cause of his nationality.
Now as we have said there is no rea-
son why the Republican ticket should
not receive in its entirety the support
of every Republican in the county. II
