THE SITUATION.

The Anoka Union, a Republican
paper, says:
In Anoka county very few Republicans
will vote for owen, but 4 number Of Demo-
Gratis will.
What is true in this respect at Ano-
ka is true as applied to the entire
state. The bulk of the votes Of the
Democratic party, will be cast for S.
M. Owen. The ''stool pigeon" ticket,
headed by Gen. Becker, will get by far
the lightest vote ever cast for "a Demo
cratic ticket in this state. The party
is onto the scheme to elect Gov Mel
son by inducing Democrats to vote<for
the Becker ticket.
No doubt the intention is to replace
Gen. Becker on the railway commits
sion il his candidacy results in the
election of Governor Nelson. This
scheme will be failure, however, for
Mr.. Owen will be elected over Gov.
Nelson by a handsome majority, unless
all signs fail.
Mr.. Owen is now making his can
vass. Everywhere he attracts large
he makes is most favorable.
Because the Peoples party is max
ing no noise is no indication that moth
ing is being done. Everywhere the
party is keenly alive to the situation.
All that is needed is to keep up the
good work until the polls close and the
job will be done.
The cities are doing their part. Or
ganization is going steadily ahead.
The vote for the peoples party state
ticket is going to- be a surprise all
around to those who do not under
stand the situation. The old party
papers have adopted their usual tao
tics of belittling the movement. The
REPRESENTATIVE again says to its
friends in the country, do not be de-
ceived by these lying organs. Keep at
work and we will win.

1t is an old saying that if you give a
fool rope enough he will hang himself.
John L. Macdonald is verifying this
adage rapidly. He is exceedingly un-
popular throughout the state, and it
seems he is equally SO even in ST. Paul
where he resides. At the recent coun-
ty convention Of the Peoples Party in
that city the Populists seemed to take
especial delight in sitting down on
him. Out of about $40 delegates
there were but about 25 that followed
him. Every time he offered a resolu-
tion some one would move to lay it on
the table and it would go there with a
whoop and cheers. Mac got very red
in the face and left the hall long be-
fore the convention finish its work.
He could have done great work for
the party and himself if he had pos
sesScd common sense;-but the Peo-
pies Party of Minnesota will not
tolerate boss.

MAJOR BOWLER.

Major j. NJ. Bowler was in the city
on Monday morning, having just re-
turned from partial canvas of the
Third district. He says the outlook
for his election to congress is much
better than he had supposed and that
If the members of the Peoples party
in that district will each and every
one do his whole duty from now until
the polls close on election night he will

Nelson's Candidacy.

Albert Lea Standard: In his speech
in Albert Lea last Friday evening Gov.
Nelson referring to the charge that he
is candidate for the United States
senate, expressly denied it. He said
he was candidate only for governor;
that he was not opposed to Senator
Washburn, and declared that the Re
publicans would re-elect Senator Wash

TAX EVASION,

The REPRESENTATIVE publishes in
another column Gov. Altgeld's state
ment regarding the Pullman Palace
Car Company and its taxation made to
the Illinois state board of eQualiza-
ton. This article is we'll worth care
full reading by every voter in Minneso-
Ia. 1t has its counterpart on small
er scale in many cases in this state.
The fact is these wealthy corporations
have for years escaped their just share

burdens of the private property hold

Cardinal Gibbons, in speaking of the
conditions in this country, says: 1.-The
economic conditions in the United
States are fast approaching those Of
England. The homes of the poor are
more marked by restitution and
squalor. The light Of heaven is closed
from miserable tenement room and
attic. Flesh and blood are becoming
more cheap and bread more dear. The
well-being of the car horse is more
solicitously watched than the driver.
Small wonder that strong men, mad
dened by tears of a wife and cries of
starving children, sometimes band
themselves together and resort tt
deeds Of violence. Elk.

PINE LAND FRAUDS.

Thomas B. Foley, of Atkin, is the
latest contributor to the state treas
ury on account of pine land frauds.
On Monday he paid in the sum Of
$500. If all of the pine land rascals
could be made to repay the amounts
which they have stolen the school and
university funds would be enriched by
millions of dollars. If the men who did
the stealing could be locked up there
would be some vacancies on the Re-
publican ticket.

Your Uncle Loren, it is said is try
ing to get John II. Burke into the
lunatic asylum; and Burke is recipro-
eating by trying to get your Uncle
Loren into the penitentiary. We are
inclined to thing, from our knowledge
of Burke, that he would be willing to
go for six weeks to the former institu-
ton, if he could see your Uncle Loren

of Congressman Hall, while hundreds
of Republicans are dissatisfied with
Heatwole and declare they will never
vote for him. Mr.. Heatwole is not re-
cognized as being man of the people.
He is an aristocrat of the bluest kind.
He has nothing in common with the
ordinary class Of people and the vote
in November will show that he is so
so regarded.
Major Bowler will continue an active
canvass until the polls are closed, and
is elected will make the best congress
man that district ever had.
