VOTE FOR SOMERVILLE..

Voters who are DESTROYS of seeing
Cushman K. Davis succeed himself in
the United States Senate should be
sure and mark their ballot for George
w. Somerville for Senator for this dis
trict. Mr.. Somerville is one of the
enthusiastic supporters of Minnesota's
senior senator, and if Q lected to the
State Senate will do all in his power to
bring about his election. -
Still further, there are going to be
some pretty. shrewd Legislators in the
next Senate, and if this section of
Minnesota proposes to have much to
say about the law making business
the very best men should be sent, as
we'll as men who are allied with the
party that is likely to be in power.
Mr.. Somerville has already gained
prominence among Minnesota lawyers,
and as one of ability he will undoubt-
eddy. keep his Senatorial district pretty
we'll in front. at the next session of
the legislature.
Vote for the representative in Con-
gress first, and then vote for Senator,
and be sure and get your cross mark
opposite the name of Mr.. Somerville.

MR.. STEWARDS SPEECH.

The reasons given by Mr.. Andrew
D. Stewart of Redwood Falls town
ship, formerly leader in the Peoples
Party, for severing his connection
with that organization. and joining
the forces of the Republican party,
in his speech at Delhi on Oct. oath,
appeal to the reason of all men who
are not 50 completely enveloped in
party love as to disregard cardinal po-
litical issues.
Mr.. Stewards speech was free from
abuse. 1t appealed to reason, rather
than to passion. He cited the Nc
Kinley administration of the war, now
the subject of attack by the Democrat
ic press, as one of the most glorious
efforts of the worlds statesmen. He
could not see that administration at
tackled, without recording his dissent
in the most vigorous terms. He cited
the Cleveland bond issue, in which
such vast commission was paid to
certain parties, and compared it with
the popular loan of President McKin-
ley, in which over one-half of the
amount was taken in sums less than
$4,000. Certainly, here is something
that appeals to reason. The McKin-
ley popular war loan was made with
out cent of commission, while big
commission was paid on the Cleveland
loan made in times Of peace.
Another leading point in that ad
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-11-03
VOTE NEXT TUESDAY.

Don't forget to vote next Tuesday.
Every Republican in Minnesota owes
it to his party to shake off the apathy
and cast his ballot next Tuesday.
The followers of Lind are counting
on this apathy to bring about his
election, and have been careful not to
have the county ticket filled in coun-
ties where there is strong Republi-
can majority, hoping that the county
candidates that are not opposed would
neglect to hustle for the Republican
State ticket.
Don't turn Minnesota over to the op-
position at time when President
Mckinley needs the strongest Repub-
lican support from every Republican
State.
Get out and vote. See that your
neighbors vote.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-11-03

dress was the one on corporations.
Unlike the Peoples Party he saw in
corporations a vast amount of good.
He saw that it needed the banding to-
gether of BODY of men into body
corporate, having a longer life than
man, in order to have railroads, war
ships, merchant vessels, and to carry on
improvements that have been so rapid
since the American Republic was first
founded. He. like many others. all
fair minded men, in fact, believed in
corporations under strict government
control.
Mr.. Stewart is an expansionist. In
that he is Republican pure and sim
pie. While other parties are denounc
ing the Divine mission given in this
Republic, the Republican party is
fulfilling that mission and is on record
to give the downtrodden' and ignorant
people-kept ignorant by the bleed
ing rule of Spain-life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
But best of all, Mr.. Stewart says
that he believes he can do more good
in the Republican party than else
where. All things therein are not
just as be would have them, but the
evils to his mind are less than in any
other party, and as worker in the
ranks he can do more to bring about
those reforms in the Republican party
than anywhere else.
Here is reason, logic, sound sense,
all presented to the voters for their
candid review. Vote next Tuesday.

.RANK-ROTTEN.

A little bit the rankest libel decision
we have ever seen handed down ,by a
Supreme Court was the one handed
down by Justice Mitchell of the Su-
preme Court last Monday in the case
of Samuel Trebby vs.. the Little Falls
Transcript. Co. It appears that Treb-
by declared that the city's bonds were
invalid, and injured the city's credit,
whereupon the city council passed a
resolution declaring Trebby. to be a
disreputable person, and the Trans
cript, as the official paper of the city
published the same. Trebby brought
suit for libel against the paper, and
the paper set up that the resolution
was privileged document. The
lower court sustained the point, but
the Supreme Court reversed the lower.
If the Supreme Court is not stepping
on the freedom of the press guaranteed
by the constitution, we don't want q
cent. A change is needed there, and

word in his favor. His appearance
among the people would be more in
his favor than can words through the
public press. He is an energetic
young Republican, who makes friends
wherever he appears. He is excep-
tionally we'll qualified for any office he
might seek, and he should have a
rousing majority at the polls next
Tuesday.
The third man on the list is VIM. P.
Tenney, Republican candidate for
county treasurer. Mr.. Tenney is an
old soldier-the only one on the coun-
ty ticket-and has resided in Redwood
county for over % years. The Repub-
lican party has always found in him
one of it's faithful adherents, and if all
of these qualifications are to be con-
sidered he is entitled to a very large
vote. He will conduct the affairs of
the Office, if elected, in the most salts
factory manner.
W. B. King is the Republican can
didate for Judge of Probate. Mr..
King has resided in the county for
over Is years, has been engaged in the
mercantile business and in farming.
He has an excellent education, and il
we'll fitted to assume the responsible
duties of that important Office. He is
entitled to the full Republican vote.
The other Republican candidates
who have opposition are the two COM
missioners. In the Second district Mr..
G. M. Herreman is the Republican
nominee. If elected he will be a con-
sentative force on the board that will ,
be of much advantage to the county.
In the fourth district Emil Kuenzli is
the nominee. Mr.. Kuenzli has been
county treasurer for six years, is thor
oughly competent to make thorough :
investigation of the books of the
auditor and treasurer, and having such
q qualification be will be an important
factor on the board, if elected.
Vote next Tuesday.
