THE REPUBLICAN LEGlSLA-
TIVE TICKET.

This has been called Republican
wear, and so it will be, if Republicans
but go to the polls: The only danger
is the fact that many think success
is so sure for their party, that they
will not take the trouble TO go to the
polls. 1t should be impressed upon
every Republican voter, and upon
every voter who has any idea OF vot-
ing the Republican ticket. that there
never was time when it was more
important that they vote. than it will
be on the 9Th OF November next.
True, PRESIDENTS not to be elected,
cut aside from that fact full ticket
is to be voted from congressman down
to coroner, and its election by the Re-
publicans will stand for continued
good government and the endorse
ment Of the national administratio
The election Of Republican congress
is just as important today as it was in
1896. In Minnesota the matter is of
even greater importance than in 1896,
for in addition to the seven congress
men, there is to be elected United
States senator to succeed Cushman K.
Davis. And this adds to the import
ance OF electing Ia Republican legis-
lature. The Republicans Of Blue
Earth county, in common with the
party throughout the state are most
DESTROYS for the return Of Senator
Davis for another term. and this san
be assured, so far as this county is
concerned, by the election of the Re-
publican legislative ticket.
The Republicans have an except
ionally strong legislative ticket this
year, and it should be elected by a
large ajority. Its makeup insures
a delegation that will look carefully
after all matters pertaining not only
to the interest of Blue Earth county,
but OF the state at large.
Clifford L. Bene dict, the Republi-
can candidate for senator, is one Of
MaDkato's leading lawyers and has
had training that will stand him
well in hand in the state senate, where
he will command a leading position.
Raise d to manhood in this county he
is too well known to our readers to
need any words Of commentator
from us. He has already served the
people as county attorney, and in that
capacity looked carefully after the
peoples interests. He possesses good
business judgment, is straightforward
in every respect, and as a legislator
will stand right upon those questions
effecting the community at large.
For representatives the Republi-
cans have in Messrs. Gutterson, Ny
quist and Argetsinger, three strong
men. Mr.. Gutterson is well equipped
or the position to which he aspire,
having already had the experience of
two terms of service in the legisla-
ture, and has shown himself to be an
able and safe man in the halls of legis-
lation. His record is good one and
the people can rest assured that in his
hands their interests are safe. AID
ditional interest is lent to his candi-
dacy in the fact that he will be a can
didate for speaker Of the house If
elected, and with the support he
should have from this section of the
state ought to be able to land the
prize.
Nels Nyquist is one of the success
full farmers Of the county and solid
business man. He has had the ex-
perience of one term in the house,
and always watched closely the inter-
ests OF the people, and gave his vote
to all practical measures in their be-
half. He deserves an endorsement at
the hands of the people and all indi-
cations point to its being given by a
large majority.
Mr.. Argetsinger is bright young
man, good lawyer and has every
qualification for frst.class legis.
lator, and his election will add
strength to the Blue Earth county
delegation. We believe the voters Of
Blue Earth county will make no mis-.
take in voting the Republican legis.
latiye ticket straight, thereby send.
ing one Of the strongest delegations
the county ever had. One that will
look carefully after the interests Of
th. People in all matters CT iegisla-
tion, and cast solid vote for the re-
turn of Cushman z. Davis to the
United States senate for another
term.
