Can you afford to defeat them and
thereby run the risk of return of the
old state of affairs?
Think it over and we feel assured
that as citizens, desiring integrity in
the management of affairs and zeal for
the public interest, you will cast your
votes for John Lind for Governor, and
Rlngdahl, Knox and Owen for rail-
road commissioners. The continuance
OF fair and economical administration
OF the grain department will be as
sured if entrusted to their hands.
Mr.. Frank E. Force, president of the
University Republican Club, has taken
to the stump for Mckinley, Prosperi-
ty, Imperialism, Mark Hanna and the
Full Dinner Pail.
Mr.. Force was in the Philippines as
bugler, in Company A, 18th Minneso-
ia. Soon after his return he wrote an
article which appears in the "Ariel,'
Volume %, page 382, 1S9S-99, publish
ed at the University of Minnesota
| Mr.. Force must have greatly changed
his mind on certain questions since he
wrote that article, or he would hard
ly be stumping it for Mckinley and
Imperialism.
from the above mentioned article by
Mr.. Force:
| "For foreign nations to attack some
| nh To
is not uncommon, but for the United
States to attempt to conquer people
struggling for their liberty, and at
that to fight native republic. is SIM
ply astonishing"
| "The soldiers in and around Ma
Mia are opposed to this so-called i'm
perialism. Or course, enduring the
hardships that they must endure,
they would naturally be prejudiced
against country which has been the
cause OF much sickness and death. The
constant train of funerals, and the
wall of death marches, make the sol-
diers loathe the place where so many
of their friends lie buried
These fellows too are looking into
this question of annexation in a truly
patriotic light, and for patriotic purl
pose; and taking everything, the good
and the bad, about the islands into
consideration, they have decided
against expansion"
| "They see no reason why our troops
are there today OR were ever sent
there
From time to time we read in the
papers that the troops are contentef
in Manila. This is not true, never has
been true, and is written by some un-
scrupulous officer who has not the in
terests of his men at heart"

Yale, as it is we'll known, is the

The other day the students there
held straw ballot, and decided over
whelmingly in favor of Mckinley.
The Pioneer Press (Rep.) points to
Kinley's strength.

If Capt Van SAINT really wrote his
Barnesville speech himself, how did
he happen to make that reference to
the Anderson law, when it is a noto-
rious fact that he lodged the vote on
that measure, although he had been
present directly before and after the
vote was taken.
The Anderson law requires the tax
ing of unused railroad lands-of
course Van SAINT would not vote on
such bill; nobody would expect him
to vote on bill which is contrary to
the interests Of the railroad corpora
tiOns. Those corporations have too
many strings on this weak brother,
Captain Van SAINT, and they will see
to it that he never does anything
without their approval.
During the past two years every
pound of tWine that was sent out
from Saltwater was sold directly to
the farmers instead of the dealers, a3
heretofore.
After all expenses had been deduct
ed, the Prison Twine Plant at Still
water cleared $68,0O0 in 1899, and $16,-
600 last season. The proceeds of the
Twine Factory and Shoe Factory at
the State Prison paid the entire ex-
penses of operating that institution,
and left a cash balance of $4,000 to
be turned over to the State Treasurer.
There is probably not one other State
Prison in the United States with such
splendid financial record.
