Next Tuesday is the day of battle!
1t is the day on which will be deter
mined whether the people or the plu-
tocrats and corporal ions are to rule
this state for years to come.
1t is as certain as any future event
can be that Sidney M. Owen will be
elected governor of this state by a
plurality Of any where from 10000 to
40, 600 votes. While it is true that Mr..
Owen will run ahead of his ticket, his
magnificent plurality renders it ex-
tremely probable that our whole state
ticket will be elected.
This result will surely be accomp-
lished if the Peoples party stands
firmly by its ticket and vote, straight
for every man on it..
Make no trades nor consent to any.
The charge OF the plutocratic Demo
cratic organ at st. Paul that Mr.. Owen
has thrown overheard Mr. Stromberg,
or any other man on our ticket, is false.
The men who make this charge know
that Mr.. Owen disappearing every can

a view to creating distrust. Pay no
attention to it, but vote the straight
ticket and we will win.

What a Republican Paper Has to

(Moorhead News, Oct. 49,

(Moorhead News, Oct. 1917
Some newspaper editors have become so
excited over the political canvass that they
seem to have lost not only their common
sense, but their self-respect. They make
such eXtravagant statements that instead
of helping the cause upon the side they are
enlisted, their services will do it great
damage. Here is an example taken from
a recent editorial from a newspaper sup
posed by many to represent the best senti-
ment, the best civilization in the state.
THE leaders of the Populists are a mis-
celaneouS collection of the worst sort of
cranks, knaves, charlatans and demagogues
that were ever gathered in a political or
ganizaton. 1t embraces the political bank
ruptS, the WORKOUT prostitutes, the offal
and refuse of every party. 1t is this ag-
gregation of humbuggeryt on the platform
and ignorance on the benches, of dishon-
esty and folly in the whole mass, and its
vast capacity for 1lnforeseeable mischief,
which fills the minds; Of sober citizens with
alarm
1t will be Observed tina tY this denunciation
covers the entire usrty,T leaders, rank and
file; that it makes 4no exception. 1t may
be admitted that there are some unbal-
anced and dishonest meh among the lead

when it is claimed, that all of the 10000
men in this state who voted that ticket
in 1892, and the nearly soIeo0 men who voted
in $780, are all such characters as the paper
quoted from declares there is only one
conclusion that man of sense will draw
and that is that the editor himself is dis
honest or blind to facts, and hopes by mis-
representation and pqryersion to deceive
his readesr -
If the principles thee Populists advo-
cate are Objectionable and bad for the
country, let it be shown by plain argu-
ment, by an appeal to the common sense
and patriotism of the voters; but this
wholesale denunciation of men who are
tillers Of the soil, who work at every trade
and calling, who are fathers of families,
our neighbors and friends, who would leap
from their plows work benches or counters
at the call of their country as quickly and
as patriotically as any, and would give as
freely of their blood and treasure, will not
be received as conclusive. 1t is a weak
argument, and gives one the impression
that ne who uses it is in desperate circum-
stances, which have so affected his judg-
ment and discretion to put him in the
class that he himself has described and at
tributed to others

DR.. Christian Johnson, of New London,
the Peoples party nominee for the legis-
lature, was, born in Denmark Al years ago,
and there received his early education. AT
the age of sixteen his parents died and he
was thrown upon his own resources. He
came to this country in 1869 and continued
to pursue his literary and professional
studies both in this country and Europe UNI
til 1878 when his health failed and he came
to Minnesota and settled on farm with a
relative in Morrison county. Soon after he
moved to Royalton, where he practiced his
profession until 1886 when he moved to New
London. He has for years been liberal
contributor to literary, scientific and pro-
fessonal journals and magazines. He is a
forcible writer and able speaker and broad
and liberal in all of his views He is at
present president of the village of New
London and president of the board of edu-
cation. He is well and favorably known
throughout the country.

Mr. Ladd is descended from Daniel Ladd

settled in Haverhill, Mass. Daniel Ladd

New England. Mr.. Ladds great grand
father, Abner Ladd, of Norwich, Conn.,,
