has borrowed a dollar in gold to run
the government, which all know he has
no right to do. It is covered up by the
sophistry that using the Treasury Notes
for government disbursements, which
were received for gold looted from the
Treasury is not using borrowed money.
It is like the case of the sOt who begged

that it would not be used for whisky,
trading it for nickels, which were spent
for the liquor! Is 1t any wonder that we

GENEROUS HAMLIN V. POORE IS
STILL HARD AT WORK
Editor Representative:
In reading over the list of engagements
for Mrs Lease in issue of Jan. LIST, also the
noble effort OF earnest men in various
counties in this and other states to place
the best Of all reform papers, the Repre-
sentative, in the homes of as many voters
as possible in their counties, 1 wondered
how long before "Old Renville'' would be
heard from. Being kept pretty close at
home on account of my wife's i'll health,
I had hoped the spirit would move one
of the 1900 independent voters ere this, it
will not do at this time for us to rest upon
our laurels and feel that "Old Renville"
is all right. We must exercise eternal
vgilence" if we expect to maintain our
prestige.
secure subscriptions in Bird Island and
Some ten days ago 1 made an effort to
see II the business men would contribute
something towards the necessary amount
to get Mrs. Lease to speak in Bird Island.
l assured them it would be the means Of
bringing the largest crowd to Bird Island
ever assembled there, yet $11 was all
could get.
-
those same men will contribute one hum
dred dollars for Fourth of July blow
out" to draw in the farmers and offer
almost any kind of inducement for the
farmers to spend their hard earned dollars
just before harvest, the same fool farmers
coming in few weeks later to buy Irvine
on time at cents per pound, while by
having cash they could buy the same
quality of Irvine at 4 cents. In the fall
l see those same wise CO business men
fairly wild because they cannot collect
their bills of those same fool farmers
who are selling As cent wheat.
Unless someone gains their "sweet
enmity" by pointing out such folly and
ridicuing them out Of it these same wise
business men will do the same thing over
again next July, and will be still wilder
to get the fool farmers to settle their ac-
counts. I have wandered little from
what I started to write.
Not being able to secure sufficient en-
couragement in Bird Island to get Mrs.
Lease, and not being SO situated that
can canvass the county as I would like,
I will do what I feel to be the next best
thing. If an effort is made by any one in
this county to secure an appointment for
Mrs. Lease I will subscribe one dollar;
also if an effort is made to raise a fund
to give free subscriptions to The Represen-
subscribe another dollar for that purpose.
I believe it as great an exercise Of wisdom
for me to sacrifice if necessary every
chicken I own to push this reform work
as to have my home sacrificed in the near
future simply because the toilers did not
awaken in time to save themselves

Among the subjects pressing for consid-
Grafton is socialism; and perhaps as little
understood as any. AS / understand It,
socialism and popular government are
identified. Such government is an organ
lied association established to provide for
those interests that are created by the fact
OF association; being common interest, all
have an equal voice in this control and
management, and an equal right to the
benefits derived from them.
Government is a great cooperative in
dustrial institution. The necessity for it's
industry is created by the service required
in securing these interests. AS a matter Of
common justice, the persons chosen to per-
form this service government officials
and laborers in the public service), must
be the choice Of the people and under their
control and direction.

to society what individualism is to the
person Love in the sense here employed
brings the fruits Of peace on earth and
good will to all mankind, and is embodied
in the command, Love thy neighbor as

To worship God as embodied in these
Divinities is to faithfully obey their COM

that the true worship of these Divinities
would bring the millennium on earth.

SOME REFERENCES TO THE
PAST.
Editor Representative.
Inc Republicans are resting assured of
the easy walk over in the First Mime
sofa congressional district in 1896. An
honest rehearsal of the Democrat conven.
tion in this district that nominated Moon
an, is not out Of order now. Winona,s
present weighmaster elected by Republi-
can city council, was a Democratic dele
gate from this city to the convention that
nominated Moonan. He advocated the
nomination Of Democrat. WHY? Re-
cause 1t meant division in the ranks of
the Independents, and a walk away for
the X epublican nominee. Harries and Rel
oeh OF Houston county, and Wells of Fill
more county, advocated the nomination Of
a straight Democrat, for the same reason
that did our Demo- Republican weighn,es-
ter, John Bentner: It meant election for

was MADE fool of. Moonan was still
more wrongfully misused p. Fitzntr;cl,
went from here as an Independent Ameri-
can citizen, Democratic delegate to the
same First district Democratic conyen-
ton, determined to have the convention
endorse T. j. Meighen. He failed, though
the vote was close. Fitzpatrick came home
and was defeated for the state senate on
account of his efforts to defeat a Republi
can scheme, in which the honest Demo-
Gratis were playing the cat, and such polit-
lcal boodlers as Zohne. Wells Belden.
Harries, John Bentner, ETC., were playing
the monkey act. The Republicans nomi-
mated Monan at a Democratic convention
and the Demo-Republican tools nominated
Tawney at Republican convention.
Perhaps the Republicans will succeed in
nominating some poor fool on the Demo-
cratic ticket next year in the First dis,
trict. in order to make their own election
sure. But one thing is certain that the
Peoples Party will surely nominate

He says that if he had not gone, he
would have had serious trouble with
his nearest neighbors, as he says they
had communicated certain matters
to his wife, who would not believe
his denial. He adds, God knows l
am innocent as baby" He says
that his folks in California knew why
he left, and that he is ''free now and
