| place. Senators Hanna and FRYE and
victor Dolliver made speeches varying

| Large crowds were present at nearly
every stopping place, farmers in some
instances composing a large part of the
audience and The speakers were inter-
rupted many times by questioners
though always apparently in a friendly
spirit. In one or two instances in Min
nesota, through that part of the state
noted for its dairy Industries and stock
raising, the speakers paid some atten-
ton to the tariff question, but the
speaking generally was on the trusts
and prosperity.
That's ali the people seem to care
about, said Senator Hanna tonight
( All they want apparently is to be as
sured or the continuance of the present
conditions. The sentiment seems to be
all one way, too. 1 can see moth lg but
an overwhelming vote for Mckinley in
this section of the country"
The presence of school children in the
crowds was a feature of the day. At
several points, notably Marshall Mimi.

numbers, 900 children in the public
at Marshall.
Senator Hanna was hoarse from his
efforts of yesterday
At Owatonna, Mimi, he spoke IN part
as follows:
'All the issues that have been nre-
sented in this campaign, free silver.
Imperialism, trusts and what not are
simply collateral issues injected into
this canvass to lead the people awav
from the real issue. The paramount is
1n
sue we are interested in is Shall the
present conditions be continued We
don't feel any particular anxiety to ac-
commodate Mr.. Bryan by making him
president Of the United States We do
not recognize that Mr.. Bryan has done
anything for his country or the people
generally to entitle him to the highest
honor in their gift. Read the public
careers of both of these candidates and
make your own comparisons nv
friends. all there is to the question is
aren't we well off? Aren't we on the
road to continued prosperity, as long as
we keep to the land marks which have
marked that prosperity in this coun-
Try Let well enough alone. Don't
swap horses crossing the stream. Don't
change Mckinley for Bryan
Al Waseca Mr.. Hanna was interrupt-
co several times by people who asked
questions about various trusts. Mr.
Hanna denied there. was anv coal mr.
laughter that there was an ice trust.
The decline IN the price of wire nails
and everything else that the farmer
buys is over so per cent already said
MI Hanna. Things will come down
70 normal condition and viii be regI1-
lated by the supply and demand Just as
all business is regulated. You can no
more interfere with the laws that gov
ern trade than you can with the laws
Whlch govern nature itself Every
commodity that is manufactured in
this country is made by the highest
priced labor in the world. The labor
lngman, if wire nails are high. gets his
share of the price"
"A stop of forty-fiVe minutes was
made at MankOta, where Messrs. Han
ma and Frye spoke to d large assem-
blaSe from a platform in the public
square. Senator Frye devoted most of
his time TO the discussion of the tariff.
Interruptions were frequent many
questions being ssked the Maine SEN

the audience was entirely good natured
and cheered the badinage between SEN
ator Frye and his questioners.
