A FALLING OFF.
Total Registration is 527 Less Than Two
Years Ago.

Tuesdays registration added
several hundred names to the list as
compared with a week ago, but the
total registration of the city is con-
siderably less than it was two years
ago. The lack of interest in an off year
ought to be Offset by the increase In
population, and the difference be-
tween the two years may probably be
ascribed mainly to the effect of the
requirement that foreign born resi-
dents shall have their second papers.
The registration by wards this year
and two years ago is as follows:

GIVE HIM A BIG VOTE.

AS to the election of Congressman
McCleary there is not nor has there
been from the first any question. 1t
has been merely matter of what the
size of his majority will be, and all
indications now are that it will range
from eight to ten thousand at least.
Here in Blue Earth county, Mr.. Nc
Cleary's home, he should receive a large
vote from his friends and neighbors
among whom he lives, and who should
take pride in the reputation he has
made in his congressional career, and
the honor he has reflected upon his
home county as we'll as district and
state, in rolling up the largest vote
possible for him. 1t is nothing more
than he deserves and ought to be freely
given him.
Entering congress on March 4, 1898,
unknown outside of his own state, and
only known within its borders as an
educator, he has in the short space of
less than six years, sprung to the fore
front in national life and stands as one
of the recognized leaders in the popular
branch of congress. Paying particular
attention to the financial question,
while not at all neglecting other mat
tiers, he has become recognized author
ity in that body upon financial ques-
tons and consequently in great de-
mand as speaker in all parts of the
country. In fact he has been obliged
to decline more requests to speak than
he could have filled had he devoted all
the time of the entire campaign to
them. ALI of this should be source of
pride to his fellow citizens in his home
county that should cause large vote
to be rolled up for him.
The only thing that the fusionists
have been able to charge against Mr.
McCleary, is that he has done nothing
for his district. There is no question
but that it would bother them to show
wherein, anything more could be done
for it than he has accomplished. With
the influence he exerts in the house he
can secure more than any man the
fusionists could name. Not being
district with great commercial and
industrial centers located in it's midst,
it does not have the local demand for
legislation at the hands of congress that
would otherwise be the case. But the
charge of the fusion leaders that Mr..
McCleary has not done anything for
the interests of the farmers and the
people of his district, is false from first
to last. He has supported from first to
last the Republican policy. the success
full Inauguration and carrying out of
which has aided in the restoring of
prosperity to the entire country, has set
factory and workshop to humming with
industry, and furnishing work for every
man that wants it, at good wages
Nothing that Mr. McCleary could have
done in a local way, no matter how
successful he might have been, would
have proved as beneficial to the people
of the second district, whether upon
the farm or in the workshop, as what
he accomplished for them in the strong
support he gave in helping to carry out
the pledges made by the Republican
party at st. Louis in June, 1896.

VARIOUS OPINIONS.

CAN WELL BE PROUD OF McCLEARY.
Wells Forum:
Congressman McCleary will be just
as busy during his campaign as in
previous campaigns, but his services
are required in Nebraska, Iowa, Illi-
nois and Michigan. His reputation
as a student of political economy has
become national, and he is as eagerly
sought after for campaign work as
any man in congress-which is saying
a good deal. Minnesota and the Sec
ond congressional district can well be
proud of McCleary.

bearing on the extension of the
frontier of this country since the

as historical basis for considering
the literary writer's and their works
that treat Of this development of our
country.
Last evening Miss Spencer gave a
very clear review of "The U. S. at the
close of the 18th Century," This was
followed by a paper on "The Ord
nance Of 1887" by Rev. Lee w.
Beattie. Miss Deem read paper on
"The Typical Hoosier," with special
reference to the authors Eggleston
and Riley. This was most enter
tanning paper. Then followed dis
cussion on the relative merits of swell
and large colleges. Mr.. e. L. Patter-
son led the affirmative, Miss Fender
CAST the negative. Both sides claimed
