campaign in the Sixth district. He be-
gan with good meeting at Mankato,
September q, and followed with meet
ings as follows: BelOit, September 28;
Osborne, September 20; Stockton, Sep
tember 30; Norton, October l, and Phil
lipsburg, October 2. One striking fea-
ture- of the meetings this year is the
deep attention Of voters to the matters
at issue. Everywhere Mr.. BOtkin has
been having successful meetings, and
the people are recognizing in him fear
less, able and earnest worker and will
return him next year by an overwhelm-
ing majority
The Judicial campaigns in this part
OF the State are adding to the interest.
Judge Gelger is growing in stature"
politically and legally, and also in favor
with the people. His majority will reach
1900.
In the old Fifteenth district, where
none but the "elect" can hope to get even
in sight Of the "home base," Mr. Suth-
erland is simply waiting to see how
large his majority will be before he goes
through the formality of taking the oath
OF office; while up in the Thirty-fOurth,
Hon. w. S. WillcoxOn is pressing on to
a decisive victory.
Taken all in all we are in pretty good
shape in the Sixth district, thank you,
and we will continue to be the place
where "POpulists grow" right along with
corn, Eaters and other good things.
Congressman Mccormick is now in
the district and will help out. He has
made several speeches already. Nc is
