donna, ''Help or we perish" The
Minnesota republican committee, from
all accounts, have already made
pitiful appeal to Washington for as
sistance. Hanna must again fry the
fat out of the trusts and corporations,
that he may be able to send help to
the good brethren in Minnesota. Dis
couraging reports from a republican
standpoint are coming in from every
directions; and the boosted economical
campain must again be changed to a
REPETITION of 1896 to prevent, if pos
sible, landslide which will result in
the defeat of Eustis and the loss of
three or four congressman.
It is we'll know that Ramsey county
has no love for W. H. Eustis and this
is emphasized by his opening meeting,
which was in real truth actually par
alyzing. Let no one be deceived by
the padded reports OF the republican
press. Despite the frantic efforts there
L
Market hall not having been half filled
before the arrival of the Minneapolis
contingent, to bring which, consisting
of two or three hired organizations
including the Flambeau club, Tom
Lowry furnished free street cars for
his old friend, Director Eustis, of the
Guaranty Loan and the vetoer of the
Harvey transfer ordinance. 1t is be-
lieved certain that Lind will carry
Ramsey, while Stevens has become
thoroughly alarmed at the strength of
Judge Willis.
In the First District Milo White is
gaining rapidly, and Tawney's friends
find their time fully occupied in look
ing after their own district. The much
advertised pure food bill of Tawney's
is said to be in fact bill for the
adalteration of flour by permitting the
use of foreign substances, such as
white clay, upon the payment of
light tax. The farmers of Minnesota
do not appreciate a new competitor
against their wheat in the shape of
cheap dirt. Down in the little school
masters district H. D. Evans of
Tracy, is organizing very strongly
and his candidacy appeals to the bust
ness men and farmers. Mr.. Evans is
himself popular hardware merchant
of high standing. Up in the big 7th
district the republicans have become
alarmed and have sent Senator Mel
son to whip the Scandinavian votes
into line, while Eddy himself is
charged around like a crazy man at
a fire: In the 9Th district, while the
republican organs are endeavoring to
prevent a panic which will spread
over the state by positively claiming
that Morris is safe, the best posted
men in the district, some of whom won
considerable sums OF money upon
Page Morris two years age, are now
taking all the bets that they can get
on Towne. The writer knows this to
be positive fact from personal OBJ
servation. BY the way, they tell a
good one on Page Morris. It seems
hat the other day when in a hotel lob
oy at Duluth, Mr.. Morris was extend
ing the glad hand to most anyone who
came along. A tall, long, lank and |
awkward from fellow Aitkin came per-
ambulating along, whom we will call
Brown. Mr.. Morris reached for Mr.. |
Brown, apoligizing at the same time
or failing to recollect his name.
Let's see" said Morris, ''you live
at"-"Aitkin." ''Oh, yes, yes, I re-
member you now. How are the folks?
How is your father?'' "Father is
lead" was the reply. ",''Dead; is that

le die" "About twenty years ago."
vas the response. Young Brown

Up against Morris. "How do you do"

low is your father?' "Still dead"
vas the reply.
There are plenty of shrewd politi-
'ians in Minneapolis who are willing
% stake their money that Eustis will
