The State Credit.

Certain journals in Minnesota have
endeavored to make it appear that the
election of John Lind will reflect upon
the credit-and to the discredit-of the
state
The credit of Minnesota is all right;
and nobody need fear anything in the
way of revolutions through the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Lind.
The methods of popular government
are determined by the people at the
polls; and the voice Of the people is
law, no matter what outside criticism
may be. In a national sense the hon
or of Minnesota can always withstand
the assaults Of those who seek repudi-
alton of debts and the narrowing Of
views with respect to the honesty Of
these who officially create debts in the
interests of the public. Minnesota has
never shown tendency to weakness
in the honest conduct Of her affairs.
No more contemplate trick could be
attempted to be played by the oppo-
nents of John Lind than the introduce
tiCn of a hint that everything in the
direct line of honesty and fair dealing,
both in federal and commonwealth
application, would not receive his in
dOrSement.
Can the opponents Of Mr.. Lind point
to one act on his part which looks to
a disregard Of the interests Of the
state In connection with reputation of
debts-fOr the depreciation of standard
in the point Of honor of any debts
that may hereafter accrue? Mr. Lind
has had experience as a legislator at
Minnesota His name is not associat-
ed with institutions that have failed !;
but it is associated with an honorable
transaction calculated in it's operation
to save property which might have
been subjected to the hard lines of
liquidation but for his wisdom and
honesty exercised at the proper. time
for the preservation of those inter-
ests.
It is absolute folly for the Repub-
lican press to attack John Lind on the
point of honesty. There has been moth
ing in his record which justiffes such
an assault upon his good name
And now, turning to the record Of
William Henry Eustis, with the $9,OOO,-
600 steal of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan association in Minneapolis, in
which connection no honorable and
straightforward apology is offered!
Can the people Of this state repudiate
the honesty Of John Lind as against
the representations Of one associated
with the demonstrable dishonesty in
the conduct of the Guaranty Loan as
sociation. Of which Mr.. Eustis was a
director, and an accountant to the
| people respecting its alleged worth?

Register Today.

This is the last day Of registration
prior to the election. In placid times
like these a good many people are in
disposed to take the trouble even to
perform their duty of citizenship. All
around us Republicans are growing
over the alleged demonstration Of fact
that they are doing all the registering
and that the Democrats are doing none,
Today ought to be a day Of demonstra-
ton to the contrary.
The Republican party has held it's
hand upon the throat Of Minnesota for
a good many years. The people seem
to have become used to the thralldom
imposed by Republican administra-

give a test, based upon applications

party in the matter Of state govern

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is strongly opposed
to territorial expansion. He thinks that
the acquisition of territory In the far East
would not serve to develop trade to any con-
siderable extent. but would make necessary
the maintenance Of large army and navy,
and embroil us in the settlement of interna-
tional questions with which we would have
no active interest. He thinks that the true
policy of the United States would be to de-
velop its own territory. We have got rich
and strong by minding our own business. and
Mr.. Carnegie thinks that this policy should
not be departed from. In his opinion it will
be time enough to annex distant territories
and unassimilable populations when the peo
pie of such territories shall ask to be an

How Much Then?


The Republican campaign committee
first denied that Eustis was connected
with the Guaranty Loan during the
period of its swindling operations. and
then, when confronted with the proof,
admitted that he was formally a di-
rector.
But they insist that he was not
blamable for all the acts of his part
ner Mr.. Menage.
How much then?
The same committee at first denied
that EUstis charged the sister of Cath
crime Cling, the murdered girl, $1,000 for
collecting a small life insurance claim.
When confronted with the proof the
committee again qualified by declaring
that he did not take all of the claim,
but generously gave the poor girl $500
of it back by depriving the other heirs
of it. He didn't take it all.
How much then?
When the working men who labored
all of a hard winter in the woods for
time checks for 25 cents on the dollar
or so, and went to the newspapers with
their complaint, the committee said
Eustis didn't get it ALL but they failed
to say how much he did get.
How much then?
When it was charged that under the
Eustis administration political black
mail was levied by his subordinates
urder his very nose, the committee
said it didn't all go into the Repubn-
can city fund Of Minneapolis
How much then?
When it was published broadcast that
Eustis had classified the old soldiers
as coffee coolers" and the Swedes as
voting cattle, the committee denied
that he had used those exact terms or
employed all of that language
How much then?

and Eustis and his organs rushed to

committee found it had made mis-
take, dIlC Will SGCOllu SOOSI IIlOoSl III
declared that even Eustis would not
sustain all of Kenyon's actions.
How much then?
When the committee passed the word
up to the railroad commission that 1t
must ''do something to satisfy the out
ragged farmers of the Red river valley,
who had been Disseminated against in
their grades, it also gave the tip to the
commission that it was not expected to
go so far or do enough to injure the
Minneapolis millers, who are putting
up for the campaign.
How much then?
When the committee started out to
collect $4,000 as st. Paurs contribution
to Mr.. Eustis' campaign expenses, it
didn't get the SIS, 900.
How much then?
When the campaign opened 1t was
declared that Eustis would be elected
by $4,000. Then they cut it to 10000,
then to 10000, to 10000, to $4,000, and
now they are not sure he will get 10000.

I see in the Dispatch P P and In fact
all g. o. p. newspapers a great deal said
about the Swedish-American vote, reasons
why they should not vote for Lind, etc. Why
do our papers take so much interest in the
Swedish American vote this time? Why do
they not go on with the Germans and French
just as well? No, we understand that they
believe the Swedish people are very igno-
rant class Of people, and they can drive
them like a herd of cattle. They will find
out differently. Why, look at the state con-
vention. Mr.. Eustis held the full delegation
Of Hennepin county against any Swedish can
dtdate. Does that not show in itself the love
Mr.. Eustis has for the Swedish people? Do
we need any more proof? How much have
the Swedes gotten from the Republican
party that they did not have to fight for?
Suppose it is true that there are $4,000
Swedish-American votes in this state, as the
Dispatch said the other evening? Then the
Swedish is one-third of the Republican vote
of the state, for the sake of argument. Have
they got one-third of the ofhces2 No; our
people consider such trash as insulting. We
are not Republicans for the sake of holding
office, and will resent any insult of that kind
at the polls.
We are fully aware of the gravity Of this
election, and will be and are prepared to
face it.; but the machinists of the Republican
party will have to use other methods than
bluffs and insults to our people. We hold
the balance of power, and we will use 1t this
fall. The Swedish people are intelligent, and
they will show that this fall am Repub-

Dispatch CartoOnist Made a Sorry
Break on Charles XII.

To The st. Paul Globe:
That caricature of Lind and Charles XII.
in the Dispatch of Oct q was no doubt a
boomerang, but not in the sense intended.
The idea of picturing out the Hero of the
North decrepit old man with beard and
hair la King Lear. No wonder John Lind
fell down in utter establishment when the
ghost tried to pass himself off as Charles
XII The Lion of the North was up to the
time of his death known as the 'beardless
youth" He was still a young man in the
full vigor Of his manhood when a. bullet from
the enemy's camp ended his eventful career.
He Is still the beau ideal of Swedish man
hood, and If the Dispatch could hear the un-
complimentary remarks passed by the Swed-
lsh-Americans on tho Dispatch's bad taste
it would very soon come to the conclusion
that the caricature has had a different effect
than that intended. j. c. Lindstrom.
