TAMs WAITS FOR JOEL.

Chairman BiXby lntimates That
the Northfield Man May An
swer.
Is Candidate Heatwole going to at
tempt to get out of the defensive atti-
tude in which he was placed by Con-
gresham Hall's series of questions?
The Red Wing Republican, the organ
of Chairman Tams BiXby, in its issue Of
last Saturday kindly states that it will
not "forestall Mr.. Heatwole" in reply
ing to these questions. This is kind,
inaSmuch as the questions are solely
on the matter of how Mr.. HeatwOle will
vote on certain great questions If elected
to congress. OF course, if anyone should
dictate to a Minnesota congressman i'll
the matter of casting his vote in con-
gress. the chairman of the state Repub-
lican committee is the man. He is the
gentleman who raises and uisburses
campaign funds and knows just what
legislation the men who contribute
want, but at the same time the people
will hardly approve of even Tams an
swerng for Joel. In speaking OF Mr..
says:
Joel on the Defensive.
SIN his speech accepting the nomina-
ton ho does tue best thing possible
when he attempts to force his adversary
to the defensive by prOpoundlng to him
a series of questions relating to his
future action should he be elected to
congress. This Is rather extraordinary
performance. 1t Is Mr.. Hall who has
the explaining to do, and not Mr.. Heat
wOle. 1t is Mr.. Hall who should be
caIechised, and there is list of emDar-
RAISING questions that can be put to him
which we will not forestall MIR. Heat
wole by anticipating.',
The people of the Third district are
waiting to hear from Joel. They want
TO know where he stands on questions
asked by Congressman Hall. The
position of the latter is known to all.
but where is Heatwole?
By the way. the Mortified News, the
personal organ of Mayor Heatwole,
appeared last Saturday. but not even
the short lesson given by the GLOBE of
a few days ago is disposed of. The
GLOBE, desiring to be easy with Mr..
Heatwole, only asked him. to answer
the first three questions asked by Con.
gresham Hall, but as he has declined
to answer these three it will be neces-
sary to ask him what he has to say on
the next three questions prop0unded by
MIR. Hall. They follow:
Question /, Salt.
Mckinley taxed salt 35 per cent in
bags and barrels. and 50 per cent in
bulk; but he also provided that salt
should be free to the fishermen of Maine
ana New England. The Fifty-thlrd
congress made salt free to all the people
of this country without distinction of
location, occupation, race, age, sex,
color or political bias.
How About a Tariff on Salt?
Question Four - What will you do
about salt? AS consistent projections
ist will you vote to restore McKinley's
salt tax, or will you join the free trade
cranks and keep it upon the free list?
Question ), Binding Irvine.
The Fifty-third congress repealed the
tax upon binding twine and cotton ties.
the binding twine of the cotton fields.
We believed that these articles were the
raw material of agriculture, as neceS-
Sary to the farmer as the ground that
grew his crops, and that DO matter
where they were manufactured he
ought to be allowed to purchase them
at the lowest possible price. Therefore
we added them to the free trade schedule
or our new tariff law.
Question Five-Do you indorse our
action? Yes or no. joel? Though the
harvest is ended there are others to
come.
Question 6, 100 Items.
The Fifty-third congress repealed the
tax upon 100 other items embraced in
the Mckinley law and made them free.
Question SiX-Are there any of these
items upon which you would vote to re-
store protective tax? II so, what are
they?
The products of dainty cake. flaky
biscuit, superior shortcake, wonderful
griddle-cakes, Incompatible pie crusts
made with DIR. Prices Baking Powder
