The Republican press bureau writer
referring to John Lind's campaign for
governor and what issues he will make
it on says:
1t must be considerable of puzzle to
the Democratic managers to figure out
just what issue they will go before the
people on to catch the farmer vote.
This administration was inaugurated
as distinctly farmers affair, and the
results to date have been, first, an ad-
vance in the price of binding Irvine;
second, an advance in the fee for in
speeding grain; third, an increase in the
number and salaries of the grain in
spectors; fourth. the complete demon
alization of the inspection system with
an absolute discrediting of the grades;
fifth, the veto by the governor of a bill
which furnished the only means by
which the farmer could take direct ap.
peal to the courts, without further tes'
timony, from the railroad and ware
house commission; sixth, a system OF
assessments upon all office-holders for
the support of the administration ma
chine; seventh, the appointment, for
the first time in it's history, OF a solid
partisan railroad commission. Every
item of this bill of particulars has been
distinctly declared against by the grain
growers and farmers of the state from
time immemorial and most of them
have found prominent places in the
Populist and Democratic campaign
platforms of former years. Evidently
the Lind administration is making up
its mind to look elsewhere for votes.
Judging from the number of city pol
iticians appointed as grain inspectors it
is natural to assume that the governor
is looking to the cities for his re-elec-
tIon,

Jerry j." the Washington CORES
pondent of the Minneapolis Journal, in
his letter last night says, every day
increases the probability, now amount
ing almost to certainty, that nothing
but free trade bill for Porto Rico can
be forced through congress. AS they
hear from the country congressman are
waking up to the fact of the mistake
they made" Senator Davis took a
strong stand in favor of free trade with
the island at the caucus of Republican
senators Tuesday. and was strongly
supported by Senator Nelson. The for
mer went so far as to say that if free
trade was denied with Porto Rico that
the Republicans were deliberately in
yitiug defeat in the northwest. There
is in the senator's statement food for
thought for the party's representatives
in congress. At the best the passage of
tariff bill is likely to greatly weaken
the party, but the position in which the
party stands in condemning the course
congress has been taking will have
much to do in strengthening it at tie
polls. Besides on a second sober
thought, the people will hesitate to
turn the government over to Bryan
Democracy with it's Yarigated ideas
of government. The chances will be
far greater for a successful outcome in
the hands of Republicanism. Senator
Davis has taken firm stand. He has
offered wise solution for the trouble,
and the news that the chances for right
and justice for the island are growing,
most encouraging.
