report from Willmar, of the preparation
being made for Lieut. Tew to speak in

The Reform Press Bureau is sending
out the following:
The Republican plan for working the
business interests that were used in 1896,
under the general plan Of coercion of that
year, Is disclosed in circular received
from the Republican National Committee
by the state Democratic headquarters
over the signature of Perry s. Heath,
secretary.
It is addressed to the Republican press
of the country, and begins with the sug-
gestton that all Republican newspapers
commence to publish some short inter
views with wage earners. mechanics, far
mers. merchants, and the business world
generally in order to set forth alleged Re-
publican prosperity. The suggestion is to
follow these right up to the time of the
election. Then the circular says:
when you give a. man to the point OF
giving short interview for publication
you have him started to the working
point: he is going to look for it In your
paper, and he is going to look for inter
views with others; all the men interview
ed will talk about it, their friends will
talk about it. In this way, can we not
start sort Of an endless chain of in
terviews, and get every brain working in
the interest of the Republican party?"
So this is the feature In the campaign
for substitution of the coercion scheme of
1886, SO when these interviews begin In
response to this suggestion the people
Will know the source of the suggestion
which comes from the very head center
of the Republican party, because Perry
