bushels OF wheat would go into the mar
kets of the world through Minnesota this
year, and that the best and fairest sys-
tenn of inspection should be sought for
until attained. He added: "The depart
ment which has to do with the inspec-
ton and grading of this great staple, on
which the prosperity and fame Of our
state SO largely depend, should be con-
Quoted with absolute integrity. The
character of the men employed in the
conduct Of this department should be
such as to command the confidence Of all
producers and purchasers alike"
He then pledged the people of the state
that when elected governor he would give
to the department. of grain inspection the
most careful and conscientious atten-
ton, to the end that the reputation of
our great underlying industry might be
fully sustained, and that the farmers of
the state might receive a just and fair
return for their products.
Republican voters living in those
counties where no Democratic or Popu-
list county tickets have been placed
In the field will do well to
remember that this condition
of affairs has been brought about by the
Demo-Pop state central committee for
the purpose of lessening the Republican
vote in counties which have an over
whelming Republican majority.
Let Republicans not be lulled into a
sense of security by such methods. The
State of Minnesota expects every Re
publican voter to do his duty by going
to the polls and voting for William II.
Eustis, and every Republican candidate
upon the state ticket.
Voters throughout the state should
not allow themselves to get mixed on
two distinguished citizens of Ramsey
county, both of whom go by the name
and title Of "Judge Kelly" Judge
William Louis Kelly has long been
known as distinguished lawyer of st.
Paul, and is now on the district bench
In Ramsey county, and is not candi-
date for attorney general.
"a
The other one is Mr. John Kelly,
well known telegraph operator, who is
entirely unknown and unrecognized as
member of the Ramsey county bar. He
is telegraph operator, and, as such, is
said to be exceptionally competent.
This Mr.. John Kellyis the man who has
received the nomination for attorney
general at the hands of the Democratic
Populist com bination. 1t would be very
unfortunate for the states interest if a
majority of the voters in Minnesota
should cast their ballots to make Mr..
John Kelly attorney general-he being
not notably competent for the position
the said voters thinking that they were
voting for Judge William Louis Kelly,
who is known to be well learned in the
law.
A final word to the intelligent voters
of the state:
If full vote is cast all over the state
next Tuesday there is no possible doubt
Of the election by a rousing majority of
the entire state Republican ticket. If
the voters grow careless of results and
remain at home, the matter will be in
doubt. 1t will therefore be well to re-
member:
L. That business conditions have just
commenced to improve under the COM
mon sense policy of the Republican
party, and that returning to Demo
Pop policy will restore Demo-Pop condi-
lions.
2. That the defeat of the Republican
party this fall, will discredit the admin
istration of William Mckinley, and
may result in long years of further COM
mercial and financial depression.
MORAL-Let every Republican who be-
lieves in the principles of his party, laying
aside all excuses, and postponing every
minor duty, go to the polls on the Eighth
of November and record his endorsement
of the Administration of William McKin-
ley by voting the Republican ticket.
