The State Campaign

If Tom Brown, our candidate for pound
master is not elected the gold standard will
be endangered. Moreover, the Spanish will
look upon his defeat as a victory for them
selves, as his opponent is known to use
Spanish Icorice whenever he has a cold.
Republican journals and stump speakers
may make use of this during the balance of
the campaign without charge.-Menominie
CWis.) Times.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press, which is
noted for its creation of bugbears on the
eve of an election, has the audacity to say
that the Spanish peace commissioners in
Paris holding off conclusion of the
peace treaty to see If the Democrats of this
country shall be successful in the elections
next week. A party must be hard run and
certainly deserves defeat, when such con-
temptible falsehoods are set afoat to in
fuenee votes But the American people can
be safely trusted to vote with some degree Of
intelligence, and will resent such insults
New ulm News.
There is as little doubt as there possibly
can be of the election of John Lind for gov
ernor of Minnesota next Tuesday. The evil
dence of this comes from all sources from
the enthusiasm his presence arouses wherever
he speaks, from local reports of an increased
vote for him in nearly every county over
1896, from men who travel over the state and
hear public sentiment, and from a variety
of other causes. Not only is there assurance

every friend of the ticket does his duty, the
entire state ticket will be elected. There has
never been time in the history Of Minneso-
ia when the complete overthrow of the dom
mating and insolent Republican machine was
so sure as now. 1t is too late for argument.
What is needed in the remaining days Is
work, unceasing and vigilant work for the
entire ticket from top to bottom.-New Ulm
News.
John Lind is not the nominee Of any cor
poration or ring, but OF an Independent peo-
pie. He is no party slave and Is Independent
in thought and action. He should receive the
vote of every Independent thinker.-Cotton-
wood County Citizen.
The Kenyon charge against John Lind is
as big boomerang as the lie Of the ST. Paul
Dispatch, for which 1t had to pay Mr.. Lind
$780, besides paying a court expense Of over
$2OO0.-Cottonwood County Citizen.
Voting for John Lind for governor isn't
matter Of this or that party. 1t Is a matter
of self-preservation for every farmer and
producer In the state. 1t is protest against
machine rule in Minnesota. 1t is just as
necessary and just as proper for the strictest
Republican to make this protest as for the
opposite party voter to do so. The only way
to make this protest Is to vote for John Lind
for governor. vote for Eustis is the same as
saying that the work of the state capitol ring
is satisfactory to you.-Litchfleld Independent.
John Lind would make worthy governor,
and there is no reason why Minnesota
shouldn't have a worthy governor for the
succeeding two years. He has proven by his
acts to be friend of the farmer and laborer,
and an enemy to the corporations. Lind Is
a friend to the Industrial classes generally
and should receive their support at the polls
on Tuesday next.-Jordan Independent.
Bank Examiner CD Kenyon is the most
efficient agent for Lind in the present cam
paign. The people Of the state, irrespective
of party, have so lost all confidence In Ken
yon. that what he recommends or says they
mistrust and what he censures they have
confidence in. 1t was very shortsighted and
shallow policy on the part Of our Republican
friends to have ever let Kenyon come to the
front against % John Lnd.-Belle PLANE
Herald.
The Republican state central committee,
finding q scarcity OF Minnesota Scandinavian
papers that are supporting Eustis, are DEL
uging the state with publications In the Swe-
dish language issued in Chicago, which are
hired to publish portraits and fulsome bog
raphies of Eustis and other candidates on the
state ticket, and furnish tens Of thousands OF
extra copies for circulation In this state
Lhchfeld independent.
The big da,liss have now opened their big
guns Of their mud batteries on John Lind and
he may expect the bombardment to continue
until election day, The Pioneer Press, Jour
nal and Tribune have columns daily berating
Lind and making all sorts Of nonsensical
and false charges against him. They hope
by this pounding Of mud to sink the gallant
champion OF the people. They are paid to do
1t. but nc have faith that tbs people will
rally to the support Of their defender. honest
