young fellow preserved a distant silence
during the drive, and when she alighted
from the carriage Gertrude saw that he
was anxious to get away. But she was
decided that her father must thank him
in some way for his timely aid and
bravery.

said, ''but would you take me in and find

PHILIP JUSTUS AND ORGANIZED LABOR
Wouldn't Stand for the Union in His1 Shop Until He
Was Compelled To-

Who should organized labor support for
sheriff?
That question has been asked over
and over again during the present cam
paign, and invariably there has been
but one answer-Peter Van Hoven
Why should organized labor support
Peter Van Hoven for sheriff?
That question can be answered by a
settlement of facts we'll known to every
member of the timers union in the
city of st. Paul
When, during the past summer, an
effort was made to Aionize all the tin
shops in the city, the committee who
had the matter in charge met with
complete success until they struck the
tin shop OF Phil Justus, the Republican
candidate for sheriff of Ramsey county
He told the committee he would not
un1onize his shop, and when asked for
a reason he said that he would not
pay overtime for any hours worked be-
yond the regular number of hours that
constitute days work, and he also
objected to allowing his men to join
the union. Thus he stood alone in the
entire city as the tinsnith who would
not join the ranks OF organized labor.
About three or four weeks ago it
daWned upon Phil that it might be
good scheme to aid his canvass for
sheriff if he would sign the timers scale,

some FINE RALLIES HELD
DEMO CRATIC ENTHUSIASM rs IN
CREASING EVERY
DAY
COUNTY TICKET IS POPULAR
Everywhere the Speakers Were
AppIauded-Dr. Stone Exposes
SOphfstry of Republican
Campaign Arguments.


About 200 people attended the Demo
cratic rally at Weilers hall, Dale and
University last night The meeting was
very enthusiastic and the speakers were
frequently applauded during their rs
marks. j. F. Fisher presided
The principal address of the evening
was made by DR.. Stone, candidate for
congress, who said in part; There are
a great many issues before us in this
campaign. The Republicans claim
prosperity, but did you ever stop to
think that the increase in your wages
does not begin to compare with the in
crease in prices of the products you buy.
The Republicans are talking to you about
that full dinner pail, but, gentlemen, they
are talking to you just the same way
that the farmer talks to his hogs. The
Republicans are trying to throw dust in
your eyes all the time to keep your at
tention away from the issues that are of
the most vital Importance. Under the
Republican administration, the constitu.
ton has not followed the flag in Porto
Rico. When the Republicans say to us
that we should not pull down our flag
where 1t has once been unfurled l would
respectfully say that there is a strip of
country north of US where the Republ-
cans pulled down. our flag and Lett the
Union Jack take its place.
Dr.. Stone concluded by making a few
remarks in regard to the trusts.
Thomas J. McDermott talked on ma
tional issues and compared the platform
of the Democratic and Republican par
ties. During his remarks ne said The
fires of Democracy are burning brightly
from one end OF. the North Star state
Of Minnesota to the other. The record
of the Republican party during the last
four years is a matter of criticism He
concluded by saying: 1--WE are marching
forward to one of the grandest Demo-
cratic victories this nation has ever
known. No mans vote is lost when he
votes. for principle
J. H. Harris also spoke on national is
sues, as well as local, and said in part:
''The prosperity that the American people
want is the prosperity that reaches the
rank and file Of the people, and from
what we have seen during the past four
years such prosperity cannot be had I'M
der our present form Of government.
Peter Van Hoven, candidate for sheriff;
Peter J. Metzdorf, candidate for county

elected governor of the state of Minne-
sofa If they can help it. Their reason for
so doing is from the fact that in 1893,
while Van SAINT was a member OF the
house, he introduced bill known as the
anti-scalping bill, and by its provisions
no person except an authorized agent of
the railroad company could sell a ticket
without committing a crime, punishable
by a fine Of 81, 900 and one year In the pen

recommendation:

bill may be introduced and considered as

Mr. Van SAINT, a member of the house,
introduced the bill and moved
That the rules be so far suspended that
this bill be given its second and third
readings and put upon its final passage.
The sergeant-at-arms was instructed to
call in absent members.
On motion of Mr.. Van SAINT, discussion
on the bill was dispensed with, and the
bill was passed, Mr.. Van SAINT voting
for it.
Under the leadership of this corporation
advance agent the bill became a law, and
the brokers are leaving no stone unturned
in making doubly sure his defeat.

would practically be political suicide all
