This is the demand of more than one
thousand Alliance or Populist voters in
the senatorial district now so misrepre-
sented in the upper house of the legis-
lature by Hon. Orrin Mott, OF Verdi.
Mr.. Mott was elected two years ago in
straight party contest as protest
against the policy of the Republican
party. His speeches in tine campaign
were all directed against that party,
and pledged him to relentless hostility
to it. Under these circumstances it is
not at all surprising that wave OF
indignation should sweep over the dis
trict when the people learned of his
deal with the Republicans. AS soon
as the men who elected Mr.. Mott real
lied how basely he had betrayed them,
they began to consider the best way in
which to express their disapprobation
of his acts, and thus remove the stain
placed upon the district by Senator
Mott.
The divine right of petition was
finally settled upon, and straightWay
the Alliance voters of the three coun-
ties began to sign petitions. Several
hundred of these were yesterday re-
ceived by the GLOBE, signed in the ag-
gregate by over 1000 men. And the
SignerS are the prominent and Well-to-
do farmers of the district. whose words
and demands are entitled to conSldera-
ton. The degree of confidence they
now repose in Senator Orrln Mott may
be estimated properly after careful
reading of the form of petition they
have signed. Itfollows:
Come Home, Orrin.
To Orrin Mott. Member of Minnesota
State Legislature, Sixteenth Senatorial
District = Sir: We, the undersigned
!, Popullsts and Alliance members of your
representative district, do imperatively
demand that you Immediately discon-
.tinue your senatorial work and come
home to stay.
With q commingling Of wrath, humil-
ity and shame we have witnessed your
betrayal of the most sacred trust i'm
posed in you by US.
First-Your abandonment of your CO.
workers, the Alliance and Populist sem
ators, and forming compact with the
Republicans to organize the senate, for
shape of an office (Which is unnecessary
at presenU for pour little boy"
SecoDd-I our going into caucus with
the Republicans to nominate Repub-
lican for United States senator, right in
the face of the fact that if your election
of two years ago meant anything, 1t
meant an effort on our part to rid our
selves of that most damnable influence.
a high protective tariff and a contracted
currency, twin evils which the Re-
publican party are wholly responsible
for.
Third-We quote from your speech of
two years ago. while bidding for the
nomination: =. IF you want man that
will stand by you always, then vote for
me; but if you want men that will put
his hands behind him, then don't vote
for me-" What are the facts? Not only
have you placed your hands behind you,
but, like the tentaces of the devil fish.
they seem to reach in every direction, in
an effort to fill your avaricious nav. In
view of the above, we repeat. Come
home and stay home"

In one case a petition is returned with
letter explaining that every voter in
certain township had signed, and that
there was but one opinion regarding
Senator Motifs deal. And an interest
ing point in all this is that in Lincoln
county, the home of Mott, the feeling is
most intense. The reason for this is
not hard to find, however. Two years
ago, and again last fall, Senator Mott
went through his county inveighing
against the Republican party, be-
ing hardly able to find words
severe enough to express his
sentiments concerning it. Naturally
enough, the voters who heard him in
those campaigns are indignant to find
that it only took cheap job for young
Mott to get this great retormer over
into the Republican fold.
Cheap, indeed, is reform of the Mott
variety!
