OLIVER r. ERICKSON.

Oliver r. Erickson, the Democratic
nominee for congress in this district, ls
about to reap the reward of an honest
and conscientious battle with his Repub-
loan opponent. There are two things i'll
this fight that the voters OF this congress.
SIGNAL district should not forget: the
principles involved, and the standing Of
the man who represents these principles.
The principles involved are those we'll
known rights and privileges that the
Democratic party has always battled for,
and will continue to fight for until the
last inch of ground now held by the
enemy Of our connfrys' prosperity has
been taken. It is congress that regulates
that all absorbing queat1on--the tariff.
The Democrats have fought for ret3uc.

succeeded during the last session 10 lift

CT the taxpayers, they did not make the
job as COM plete as We would like. But
this cannot all be done in day or two,
and to continue the good work it is neces-
sary to maintain as far as possible the
Democratic majority IN the house. Now
word for the candidate. MIR. Erickson
is we'll known in this city where he has
spent the greater part of his lite. He is
native born American, and cherishes
all the love and veneration for the land
Of his birth that her sons are won't to be
imbued with. He is we'll versed in po-
litical economy, and has always taken a
deep interest in matters political. The
question of taxation is something very
dear to Mr.. Erickson, and in him mon
opolists would find no favor. The peo-
pie Of this congressional district will
have an opportunity next Tuesday to
send man to Washington who will look
after the interests of rich and poor alike.
Will they do it? Let us see.

In simple justice to Herbert Nj. Wilcox
tbs present assistant superintendent of
schools for Hennepin county, and the
nominee Of two parties for election to the
office Of county superintendent at the
coming election, TEE IE1sH STANDARD
will say that we have known MIR. Wilcox
for the past two years Intimately and we
believe that he is an honest, upright and
capable gentleman, and man who has
treated all with fairness, and has not
shown any partiality to any one, while at
tending to the duties OF his office. The
IRISH STANDARD while not advocating
his election in preference to HIS Demo-
cratic opponent desires to make these
statements in regard to Mr.. Wilcox in
order to do justice to both MIR. Breen
and Mr.. Wilcox, who are botla conduct
ing clean campaign and furthermore
for the reason that the friends of the
third candidate, Mr.. Brown. are circulat-
ing reports throughout the county in re-
gard to Mr.. Wilcox which we do not be-
ieve to be true.

on the ticket with his able colleagues
Messrs. Brooks, Davenport and Munro,
of Hennepin county, as representative
OF the outside counties in the Fourth

Judge Wendell has worked hard and
earnestly throughout tho outside coun-
ties, where he is best known, for chr sue
cess Of the men from Hennepin and in

sincere in his desire to see the true eco

Democrats are sure to lose over their

can we retain control of the lower house

Democrats when they lose control OF the

control the house it is necessary that the

shoulders the Democrats of this district
propose to place judicial responsibility.
He has been tested more than once aud

could any party have made than that OF
j. H. Wendell? His is an honor that
came without solicitation. His general

For these reasons the Democrats of this
judicial district were forced to place
ticket in the field and in doing shat they
selected MEN in whom the people could
trust. With this brief review of 5his
ticket we now withdraw leaving the rest
to the voters, in whose common sense
and good Judgment we have unlimited
confidence. Many friends ct Judge Ma

pires to I'LL. Sumner Ladd, in answer
to question asked him BY the editor in
chief Of this paper at public meeting
said distinctly that he did mot know
what non partisan Judiciary was. He
dlsclhimed with all his senergy OF his be-
ing against the ideal of non-political
tests III this extremely important branch
of our government, and said in his
speech Of acceptance of the nomination
that If elected, he would render his
decisions in accordance with the views OF
the Peoples party Those two state
ments coming directly from Mr.. Ladd,
together with the undisputable fact that
he is a facetum OF small clique in this
city, which we regard, to the extent OF
its influence, as dangerous to political
life and thought in our state, these, all
considered, have forced us to oppose Mr..
Ladd's election. We selected as our
choice for This position Judge SeagrRve
Smith before our convention was held.
We were unavoidabiy absent from the
convention must of the time, and was un-
able to present Mr.. Smiths claims as
we think tuey should have been pre-
sented. For years Mr.. Smith las been
as Hearty our IDEAL jurist as any man
whom we knew in this country. He
possesses the experience. He has the
ability, and he is supremacy gifted as a
man of unfinehing integrity. He fears
no man nor any combine of men His
moral courage is equal to his intellectual
acumen, and in all his decisions he recog
nizes the fundamental principles of
justlce.'
MI. Ladd has been in this city a num-
Der CT years in the practice of law. he
has been seem but little in the courts,
and so far as practice and experience in
the trying of cases is concerned. he has
had but little such knowledge as is
much needed to properly fill the position
of supreme court judge. Iuere is
another reason why every honest Popu-
list should not vote for Mr.. Ladd but for
Judge Smith. There is no show FOR Mr..
Ladd's election. The Democrats en-
dorssd and ere supporting Judge Willis
