upon ability and character.

He told the. farmers In his audience
that it was estimated that 100, 900, 900
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

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-

5 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 luled into q
sense Of security by such methods. The
State Of Minnesota expects every Re-

date for attorney general.
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 Kelly is the man who has
received the nomination for attorney
general at the hands of the Democratic
Popuhst combination. 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

voting for Judge William Louis Kelly.

law.
A final word to the intelligent voters
Of the state: t
If full vote is cast all over the state
next Tuesday there is no possible doubt
of the election by 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 we'll to re-
member:
s 1. That business conditions have Just
commenced to improve under the COM
mon sense policy of theS Republican
party, and that returning to a Demo-
Pop policy will restore Demo- Pop condi-
tions.
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.

minor duty, go To the polls on che Eighth
