Minneapolis Tribune: Over
confidence, in political as well as
we'll as in military campaigns, has
lost mary battle that belonged
of right to the beaten party. The
Tribune would not 60 SO far as to
say that the Republicans stand in
danger of defeat in Minnesota this
wear: but we do say that there is
need of work, and that the party
cannot afford to take any chances
on losing ground through indider'
lence. While this is not a presi'
Dental year, the issues at stake
are just as important as they were
in 1896. The people of this state
cannot afford to turn back the
hands of the clock. They cannot
afford to allow Minnesota to show
sany recession from the high stand
she took two years ago for sound
principles lin finance and for pro-
Stection to American industry.
ANY gain by the opposition would
be hailed as a sign that the de-
'preciated money idea was regainlng
q foothold. It would strike
blow at the prosperity that has
.ensued from the Republican,
