Willmar tribune., 1900-10-31

do It for party's sake, for national
politics can have no proper influence
on local aft airs, and besides the tenn
perance ticket has on both occasions
had q large majority of republicans
on it. It was nothing but deliberate
trade for votes, and they will get the
votes alright The whisky element
to q man are backing the courthouse
gang: A blind. .pigger told one of the
republican courthouse inmates on the
streets the other day that he (the pig
ger) could guarantee the aforesaid
courthouse inmate 200 majority in
Willmar. Now the saloon men don't
have that many votes, but they figure
that you temperance republicans will
vote for party name, and the blindpig
element will vote the same ticket for
protection, and between the two they
will secure majority. Are you 60
ing to be a party to such deal? Are
you going to allow those courthouse
officials to sully the banner of your
party by draping it around the bloated
b]indpig? If you have the courage of
your convictions you will rebuke this
nefarious trade by voting against the
republican county ticket.
Only two men in the courthouse had
the courage to come out and advocate
the election of temperance council
pledged to oppose the saloon. Those
men were o. A. Hedin and H. j. Ram
sett. The whiskey ring has sworn ven
geance against these men. They tried
to find a candidate against Rams ett on
the republican ticket, but none dared
to go up against him on account of
the strong sympathy people have for
him. This same feeling of sympathy
no doubt contributed to the non-ap-
pearance of an opponent to him on the
peoples ticket.
O. A. Hedin was less fortunate as
far as nominations were concerned for
he has an opponent, and one that is
especially fitted to be the opponent of
prohibitiOnist. But'Hedin is safe,
for the people of the county know why
this bitter fight is made against him
and they will rally round his standard
without regard for party names.
We have confidence enough in the
moral rectitude of the people of this
county to believe that when the votes
are counted on the 9Th of November
the courthouse gang will find that it
doesn't pay to purchase the blindpig
support. The honest republican will
purify their party by voting out the
men who have brought this disgrace
on it.
Last spring when it became necess-
ary for the saloon men to have a
petition in order to give them g.
chance to get saloons these politicians
took hold of the matter in great style
and circulated petition for the poor
oppressed saloon men. Among 9TH
ers who signed the petition were G. W.
Odell, o. Jorgen Olson and w. L. No.
rim.
These men are asking for your votes.
Think the maGter over and then
act according to the dictates of your
conscience. If you desire to see your
party freed from the domination of
the whiskey ring: if you want to have
public officials understand that they
must not truckIe to the worst element
of society; If you value morality
higher than parry name; if you want
| it distinctly understood that you do
not want TO stand shoulder to
shoulder with the blindpigRers in their
struggle to defy and nullify the law;
if you want good capable efficient and
accOmmOd ating officials and men that
will use their influence for law and
order then
Vote the Peoples County ticket.
A word with you in regard to John
B. Bosch, our candidate for represen-
tati7e. If time would permit him to
appear before the people in every
part of the county it would be unnec-
essary for us to say anything regard
ing him. His clear logical talk, his
thorough grasp of public questions,
his deep researches into the underly-
ing causes of economical disturb
ances, become apparent to every one
that can have the pleasure of listening
to him. There is not in Kandiyohi
county today man more thoroughly
equipped by nature and study for the
position Of representative than that
plain, straightforward, honest farmer,
John B. Bosch. He is in thorough
sympathy with John Lind and will
vote and work in the legislature to
carry into effect the tax reforms
advocated by Lind. If you endorse
John Lind's views and vote for him
you ought to vote for Bosch. You
will never need to be ashamed of your
choice He will be man that will
make his marx in the legislature. He
does not possess the foghorn voice and
!, bulldozing manner that made former
representative of this county notori.
Gus, but he possesses the ability to
state his views clearly concisely and
in modest, quiet way that will win
respect. Most of the work in the leg.
islature is done in the committees
and there the well-posted logical,
well-balanced man can do far more
effective work than loud-voiced
rattlebrained chatterer. If you want
a representative that will be a credit
to tue county, a man whose interests
are identical with yours, a man who
, will be able and willing to work hand
in hand with honest John Lind then
Vote for John B. Bosch.
