The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1898-12-28

Temple, for judge supreme court. 5.O19
Twitchell, for judge supreme court. 1852
The vote for governor was 252,577
One per cent of this would be 1926 votes.
Our highest vote exceeded this 4,5O5; so
that we will have hereafter our recog-
nized place on the official ballot
The Fusion-Populists will have to get
up petitions in 1900, or merge perma-
nently into the Democratic party. thing
but few of them will be willing to do.
Mr.. Longs small vote must not be
taken as a criterion of his popularity.
He is a strong man, but was running
against John Lind, and thousands Of
Scandinavians and others deserted him
on that account
Messrs. Temple and Twitchell were I'M
doubtedly injured by the foul and savage
attacks made on them by Judge Canty,
and 1t is qualification to note that he
made nothing by it. Even the smallest
vote of our candidates was about equal
to his minority, while our highest was
1926 more

The total vote of the state fell off
$4,000. Many of these were Populists,
disguised with fusion, but believing that
there was no hope for the success of our
ticket. Many thus voted directly for the
Republican party.
Dunn ran splendidly, as he deserved
to do. His plurality was 46, 764, and yet
in spite of his popularity our gallant
candidate, Hopkins, had 1925 votes.
Considering all the circumstances, the
real Populists did splendidly and the
future is bright with promise. The
greatest difficulty we had to contend
against was the feeling of thousands
that We could not possibly win We were
also without funds to make a campaign.
The editor of The Representative deliv-
cred one speech in Minneapolis; the rent
of the hall was $40, collection was
taken of So, and he had to make up the
remainder from his own pocket
Of course very extensive campaign
could not be made on those terms. A
thorough canvass of the state would have
given us $4,000 votes, beyond question.
But we had but about $50 in all for the
state campaign, more than half of which
we contributed, and we were only sorry
We had not more to spend for the good
cause Id.
