The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-11-04

Of business. Referring to the North
Carolina constitutional amendment which
the Republicans were now trying to
make so much capital out of, he said it
was wholly an educational movement
and not disfranchisement measure, as
some would have it.
Thomas r. Kane, who followed, only
spoke briefly. The Monroe doctrine was
his subject, and the argument ad
vanced was in its application to our new
possessions. Since it's PRONUNCIATION, its
application when necessary had been
received by the world at large with re-
spect, but under the new condition of
things its effectiveness was only mem
ory.
PROSPERITY THAT IS INFLATED.
Inflated prosperity was the basis of
some happy remarks made by Mr.. Ed
ward Peterson, the Democratic candi-
date for register of deeds. Mr.. Peterson
rae local application of his arguments
and pictured the present distribution of
vast sums of money for war supplies to
the building of a. monster wall around
the city of St. Paul. The city treasury
depleted of money to assist in its con-
struction would cause the distribution
of untold wealth, but its benefits would
not be lasting, There would be a day
of reckoning when the people had to go
deficiency. The present prosperity was
only temporary.
Reckoning was close at hand, the
speaker declared.
"Our Republican friends demand in
creased markets, or. better, expansion. So
do Democrats want expansion but not
that kind obtained by force of arms. If
we cannot get trade and territory by
peaceable means we say let it alone.
This force of arms viii soon turn upon
you a horde of people that will take the
bread from your mouths. 1t is no idle
prediction, my friends. The open door
is all right, but the misery it will bring
time will tell"
IT. D. O'Brien, who followed made
happy mention of Gov. Lind just as that
'.fAcial Stepred on tie stand, ana his re-
marks Teca drowned in cheers.
The Republican party" said Mr.
O'Brien, is IN the hands of the trusts.

s. W. Owens, the Democratic candid
ate Tor railroad commissioner, was the
last of the speakers to precele Gov.
Lind. 81 have been working with all
my might said Mr.. Owens, TO per-
petuate for another four years the ad-
ministration of Honest John Lind, and
my fondest wish is that the labors ] have
done will not go amiss. The administra-
ton now drawing to a close I believe, is
the best Minnesota ever had No one
opposes the administration of Gov. Lind
but those who enjoy special privileges.
Equality is in his nature, and for this
reason the favored few fear for their ex-
istence. They would hurl ignominy at
his administration and attempt to de-
feat him. but l am sure the good people
of this state will not allow it. Intimila-
ton and coercion is one of their agents.
Coertion and. his enemies go han7 in

clasp hands over a dead state" ....--

administration and it's attempt to civilize
