n. L. CHAFFEE IN CHICAGO IN
TERVIEW PREDICTS THE Gov
ERNOR'S REELECTION
HAS MADE A PROUD RECORD
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, VIII
support Neutrality-suspicious. for
Bryan's Next Notifca-
ton Address.

CHICAGO, Aug. @-"John Lind will
not only be reelected governor of Min
nesota, but Bryan and Stevenson will get
the electoral vote of the North Star
state" said H L. Chaffee today. 1.-THE
conditions are better than they were two
years ago, when Mr.. Lind was chosen by
10000 majority to rule the state. His cleo
ton is conceded by every Republican ex-
cept those in party organization man
agement, and their fight now is being
made to save the state for Mckinley.
The Republicans acting under orders
from the national committee at Chicago
are urging the formation of Mckinley
and Lind clubs, in the hope of stemming
the tide that has set in against the par
ty But they mistake the cause Of the
trend from the Republican party. 1t is
not the personal popularity OF Lind,
which is great, but the conviction that
imperialism and militarism are twin
evils that the Mckinley administration
is imposing upon the nation
Mr. Chaffee Is commercial traveller,
who sold foods by day and spoke for
Bryan by night in the campaign four
years ago. He is at the head of the
Democratic Commercial Travellers or
ganization, and Will take charge Of that
| department of the campaign work at the
Auditorium headquarters. He has been
active In the Democratic party in Min
nesota for some years, and as a COM
mercial salesman his opportunities for
| ahaiyzlng the situation in the state are
above those of the average politician
PROPHECIES ARE NOT FULFILLED
when Lind was elected two years age
the Republicans predicted disaster from
fusion administration and the destruc-
ton of credit and keeping out of capita
and immigrants We're some of the other
calamitous things" said Mr.. Chaffee
! What are the facts? The credit of the
state was never SO good. More miles OF
ralIroad have been built during the pas
elshteen months than during the previ
Gus four years of Republican rule
The railway and warehouse commits
sion, majority of whose members ar.
appolntees Of Gov. Lind, have secured :
| new freight schedule which in nnan1
parts of the state makes a saving n
from one to three cents bushel on SINAI
grain. The governor has worked ear
nestly and constantly to raise the as
| sessments of a number of large corpo
ratlohs-among which was the STANDARD
oli coInpany-which have heretofore, /
is pelleVed, not been standing a fai
share of the burdens of taxation
FARMERS ARE FOR BRYAN
If the election were held now Brva,
ana stevenson would get the vote of tn
state. The farmers of the state ar
large users of barbed wire They ar
very sore over the methods of the Amer
lcan Steel and Wire company and othe
trusts, and the fact that these trust
are contributing to the Hanna camnaie-
fund is not helping the Republicans any
AGAIN, we shall receive large gains from
the German-American vote. There ar
Two reasons for this. The first is tn
Boer-English war. To my certain know
edge IN Minneapolis, where a pro-Boe
meeting was held at the Expositio
building, not single prominent Repub
hcan could be found who would appea
on the programme. This lack of svrn
pathy was noted by German-Americans
Ihen the fear Of Imperialism and mill
tarlsm is bringing many Germans t
the support of Bryan and Stevenson .
AS to the Scandinavians, 1 could no
give you a better indication of how tina
vote is going than to refer to the Pos
ten, weekly paper which is this yea
supporting Bryan and Lind.
The Poster has weekly circulation
OF $1,000 copies, 10000 Of which have bee
circulated since the Kansas CITY con
vention. Mr.. Turnblat, the editor. is 4
my Judgment the best informed man /
Minnesota as to the Scandinavian vote
and he is confident that Bryan will car
ry Minnesota
PARTY TEXT BOOK IS ISSUED.
Phe Republican campaign text boo

spelIplnders of the party has been is

perity, maintenance of sound money
commercial advantages in the extension

The last of the four is defended on tn
ground of destiny and Providence is ac
corded the merit. While the argument

upon the fact that the existing condt
