HON. ALBERT BERG,
CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE.

STATE.
Albert Berg is another example of the
American boy, who, unaided save by
his own determination, makes his way
to the front and wins the esteem and
confidence of the people. Twice has he
been returned to the high position of
secretary of state, and again has he
been placed in nomination for the
same office by the Republicans Of the
state. An American boy because born
on American Soil, he is the son Of
sturdy Swedish parents. He is also a
native of our own State of Minnesota,
having been born at Centre City in Chi
sage county, June %, 1861. His father
was Mr.. Jonas Berg, whose patriotism
was shown by his enlistment in the
Union army during the War of the Re-
belliOn, in which service he gave his
life. In honor Of his worthy sire and
his service in the Third Minnesota vol
unteer infantry, Albert Berg has been
given the exclusive distinction of hon
orary membership in the regimental as
sociation existing since the war.

of his county, Albert Berg went to

performed.
In 1872 he was a delegate from this
state to the national Republican con-
ventiOn, and the same year he was a

WHICH, Cdlllc W HllI Two years ldleI.
The best work of Mr.. Berg during his
present term of office was the state
census of June 1, 1895. With an ap-
preparation far too limited he sue
ceeded in giving the state the best,
most complete and comprehensive cen
sus yet produced, and which has at
tracted favorable comment at home and
abroad. Mr.. Berg is a member of the
Lutheran church, belongs to the frater-
nifty Of MasOns, Elks, Knights of Py-
thias, and other societies. He is per-
sonally a most affable gentleman, one
who delights to meet his constituents
in an open manner, and who, without
allowing the duties of his office to be
neglected, has shown his personal
qualities by the host of friends he has
made during his residence in the capt.
tai city. AS vote winner it may be
mentioned that in the election of 1894
he received 4,75S more votes than Mel
son for governor, and ran ahead of the
highest vote for any state officer by
1,721, while his majority was 1,72O
more than that Of any other state
officer. In the election of 1896 Mr.. Berg
defeated the DemocraticPopulist fus-
ion candidate by lead of 1852 votes,
and his plurality was 3S.445.

ton which actually exists is n menace
to the republic. but 1t does not help
matters to exaggerate the evil and fan
cy 1t where 1t does not exist. Some

Hector Mclean Says Fuse.

Editor Representative:
tried and trusted leaders of the Peo-
pies party at this time, goes without
saying. Charges and counter charges
are being made, questioning the sin
cerity and honesty of men Of national
reputation, who have championed the
cause of the people against organized
greed, and judicial anarchy. This is all
wrong. Any disputes as to what is the
true policy of the Populists, can only be
settled by a regular convention, con-
vened in accordance with party usage.
The Peoples party has a complete or,
ganization, national, state and county,
being represented by well-known trust
ed friends Of reform, all standing
squarely on the Omaha and ST. Louis
platforms, and entitled to the respect
and confidence of all loyal Populists
The rev Democracy is powerful tao
tor Of the reform forces, and the sill
yer Republicans have proved their 10y
octopus that is strangling the life out
of the great mass of our people.
These three parties are marching in
parallel lines to attack the common en-
envy. That any Populist should refuse
to recognize these parties as allies,
seems incredible; there is a misunder-
standing somewhere. The writer con-
siders those parties just as honest, pa
triotic and determined, as the most
radical Populist, and he indorses the
position and reasoning of G. N. Lamp
phere, Of the Moorhead News, which
is in accord with the sentiment Of the
great body of the people. The Peoples
party cannot, and will not, be rent by
factions; the organization must be pre-
served, and regular order prevail.

Wants 1t Early But ReRular.


Editor Representative: In answer to
your invitation 1 will express my views,
which are in favor of an early conven-
ton, say in June of '98, but l think
a great mistake will be made If the
call is made by the organization COM
mittee instead Of the central commit
tee-such of them as will act. This
would be what some would consider a
usurpation Of rights and power; and
at the same time handicap Butler from
doing any more harm, and, in the eyes
of the public, place us On record as the
regular organization and the conven-
ton as regularly called.
1 think Omaha good place for the
conventiOn-where we can go 49, BE-
GIN OVER AGAIN. and as for candi-
dates 1 am decidedly in favor of M
w. Howard, of Alabama, for first place,
and think Wharton Barker a splendid
man for second place.
