Political Notes.

school-house compaign. They have
speakers assigned for every night un
til election in different school-houses
in the county. The Peoples commit
tee has adopted the plan not to arbi-
trarily set dates and assign speakers,
but only arrange a meeting when
urged to do SO by the people of IL To-
cality. From reports at hand we
learn that the republican ''rallies' 50
far held have been poorly attended,
and complete waste of energy.

ism' next Saturday evening, Oct

A CLEANER and better ticket was
never placed before the people of Kan
diyohi county, than the one presented
in the Peoples ticket this year. Any
good citizen can vote it straight and
feel that he is helping to elect only
good and competent men.
Iris reported that Editor Wharton
and Henry Feig addressed a dozen
voters at Irving Friday night for two
hours and half. Now look for re-
port of a great republican rally.
ARE you weary of the chickering's
and chickering's of the old ring of
politicians. Vote the Peoples ticket
straight and give the schemers a black
eye.
Mr.. J. G.. Flann, of Lake Lillian,
who was nominated for county treas
urer at the convention, asked to be ex-
cused on account of his health not per-
hitting him to remain indoors. Mr..
Flann, however, will take an active
part in the campaign, and will do his
best for his successor on the ticket, as
we'll as the whole ticket. Mr.. K. T.
Rykken of Dovre, who consented to
fill the vacant place, is good man
and will add strength to the ticket.
Kandiyohi county taxpayers would in
him find gentleman and a friend,
and could rest assured that their good
money when paid in would not be
credited to a neighbor or a stranger.
Peter Skoglund was nominated for
auditor by his friends. He was unde-
cided at first whether to make the run,
but decided to stand by the conven-
ton and do his level best. Peter will
make good auditor, if elected, and
we predict that the strength Mr.. Skog-
luna will develop will amaze his op-
ponent.
The populist candidates don't have
to campaign in the school houses this
year. For the three past campaigns
the populists have done this ndevery-
thing they predicted have come true.
Now the farmers know that the popu-
list speakers Of former compaigns told
the truth-50 cents bushel and No. 3
grade wheat for good No. l is a good
reminder.

No wonder our republicans are run
ming hither and thither like scared
bed-bugs to try to explain how it all
happened, and Wharton is singing
his lullaby to get the farmer to sleep
on the crumbs and empty promises Of
the old gang for another two years.
Martin Sorenson, the jolliest and
most confident of the whole list of can
didates, appears as unconcerneds as
if he did not have the largest major
ity of all to overcome. Martin has
so many friends and his opponent has
had the Office SO long, and been maxi
ing himself obnoxious to 50 many of
his old supporters by his support of
the gang, that Martins serene coun-
tenance is easily explained.
