conferred upon them. It simply proves
what we have said.
Ado]ph Peterson, Of Minneapolis,
declares that he is prepared to make
oath to the fact tliat w. H. Eustis
after being elected mayor of Minnea-
polls, said to him these words:
81 WISH TO GOD THAT YOU sCANDI-
NAVIANS HAD NEVER VOTED FOR ME- -
Mr.. Peterson is ~ republican and
claims that he is not % sorehead of
any kind, but WAS simply asking the
mayor to assist in paying a bill in
CURED for hall rent in the previous
campaign. 1t is safe to say that
Scandinavians as a rule will never
give Mr.. Eustis another occasion for
making such a remark
We received a message from a pop
ulist at Kandiyohi Station asking US
to correct the impression Industrious
ly circulated that those who had signed
Cove}l's petition for nomination as
independent candidate We're all going
to vote for him. This particular pop
ulist was quite indignant over the e.
port. He understood the matter us if
he was merely doing Mr.. Coyell a
triding favor in assisting him to pro-
cure the signatures required, and in
no way obligated himself to support
him. He declared that he was willing
to give Mr.. Coveil credit for good
work done in the schools of the coun-
ty in the past, but that he considered
Mr.. Shaw fully as capable and deserv-
ing of the office, in fact the only can
didate deserving ofpopulist votes.
The selection of 0. Jorgen Olson as
county chairman is said to be a good
one. He is one Of the active yOun =
republicans Of the county and will de-
vote considerable of his time to the
active management Of the camp aign
-Willmar Argus.
The fact that the gang could not find
man in Willmar of age aud discre.
ton who was willing to assume the
responsibility Of working for their
ticket accounts for Olson s appointment
1t will be interesting for the tax payers
to know that the deputy auditor has
considerable time" to spend for
political work. It is painfully evident
that "considerable' money is need
lessly spent for clerk hire. Auditor
johnson is a nice fellow, but the load
he assumed by order Of the old gang,
will swamp him in the year OF
1898. The farmers are in no mood to
stand all tricks Of the politicians. They
will vote for a new deal this year.
The Peoples County Committee con-
sists of the following members:
Erick Holt, Chairman Willmar.
V. E. Lawson, Secretary, WIlmur
G. P. Karwand, Treasurer, Willmar
Nels Guam, New London.
Gabriel Stene, Lake Andrew.
John TAFT, Jr., Harrison.

Reports from the country indicate
that the republican campaigners OF
this county are not meeting with very
enthusiastic receptions. Low wheat
prices and worse grades than were ev-
err dealt out to the farmers in the his
tory of the state are hard matters to
reconcile with the great prosperity so
much harped on. Bro. Wharton and
Atty. johnson will know more about
Kandiyohi county politics after cleo
lion than they do now. The farmers
are not saying much this year, but
they are doing d heap Of hard think
ing. That is % healthy sign of. the
times, indeed.

The legislative candidates, 0. n
Grue and N. 0. Nelson. are strong
team anu will pull well with th- state
ticket. The farmers have their. griev-
ances and they will send good level
headed farmers to the legislature to
represent them.

Once every two years the farmer can
free himself from those who Cypress
and cnslave him if he wants to. This
is when he goes into the booth and
marks his ballot on election day.
The man who neglect to do his duty
there should never complain alter
wards. Voting right, voting for his
own interests, voting for men for office
who represent his own interests, belong
to his class and are in symp athy with
him is the only way for him to get
Justice under this form of government
