Prof. Mahafy. of London. says that
Re has made one of the most astonish-
ing genealogical discoveries of the age
namely, that the pedigree of the
Smith family can be traced back TO
the time of Ptolemy III, ami that a
Smith, possibly the first of the line,
was a saloon keeper in Alexandria
2.I27 years ago. The professor should
dig a little deeper, as further research
would undoubtedly show him that the
Smiths we're men of power in the time
of Amenhotep H., and that a Smith
was head granary keeper when the
great Sesostris ruled the nation.

GOV. LIND DECLARES
Under no Condition will He Become /.
Candidate for the United
States Senate.
Reform Press Bureau,

Reform Press Bureau,
st. Paul, Oct. s, 1000.
Governor Lind has made a declara-
ton and it is one that admits of no
misunderstanding, misinterpreting or
Juggling. 1t Is such a one as could not
be expected otherwise from man
whose reputation for honesty and NOR
al integrity is as lrreproachable as that
of Governor Lind.
1t was at Benson. Mimi, during one
of the most successful meetings of the
campaign. In introducing the gov
ernor, Chairman Julius Thorson re-
ferred to his record in very favorable
terms and added the statement that
his friends hoped to see him elevated
tola seat in the upper house Of con.
gress. In reply to this allusion the
governor made the following plain
statement: Z"
II am not, never have been, nor do l
expect to be a candidate for the United
States senate. am a candidate for
governor, and IL elected governor, will
serve out my term. Any other course
would be politically dishonest. While
/ appreciate the kind words of the
chairman, wish to make this state.
ment as emphatic as possible, that
there may be no misunderstanding"

tax on the produce of the former, and
forces them to pay the tax. A republic
can have no subject colonies. 1t may
have territory from which to carve new
states. but can impose no tax on the
people of that territory that is not i'm
posed on all the inhabitants of the re-
public alike. That is, the people may
tax themselves for the support of their
own government, but can impose no ad-
ditional tax on the people of the terri
tories or on foreign people for the
support Of the general government.
The fact that the Mckinley admins
tration taxes the Porto Ricans without
representation, and a tax not imposed
on the American people, and governs
them without their consent, establishes
the supreme, the royal, the imperial
power and government over them, and
that supreme, royal, imperial govern
ment goes from the United States and
makes Of this republic an American
empire, holding subject colonies. This
is the first step, but it is a consum-
mated fact. The next step to crown
Mckinley will be just as easy with the
large standing army he has already
called for, and with a lot of plant
tools in the Federal Congress to grant
him and the trusts all that is asked
for.
AS Mr.. Bryan has we'll said, the
standard of money is important, but
not as important as the standard of
government. If the Roman Republic
had not taken the first step toward the
change to an empire, it would never
have taken the second, and the reput-
lie would not have been destroyed. Let
the whole people, regardless of past
political affiliations, unanimously resist
the formation of an empire on the
ruins of our great American republic.
If the laboring masses and farmers do
their duty on election day, that great
physical and intellectual giant, that
true friend of the people, William Jen-
nings Bryan, will receive at least ten
millions of votes, and the Mckinley
Hanna trust system of Imperialism
will be crushed and destroyed for at
least fifty years. May God grant it!

|, 1t was under the direction of Cover
nor Lind that the railroad commits
sioners investigated the freight rates
and regulated them and reduced them
IN some cases as much as ~ cents per
hundred, thereby saving for the farm
CTS of the state more than S4OO, 200 a
year; more than it takes to run the
county government of all the counties
affected.
| 1t was Governor Lind who worked
to secure the passage of a bill to tax
the business and capital of foreign cor
I'"rations operating in this state, bill
that would have brought thousands
upon thousands of dollars into the
state treasury, and it was the repub-
lican legislature that prevented the
passage of the bill, and as a result.
corporations like the Standard Oil
Trust, doing business of millions of
dollars in this state, go practically I'M
taxed.
1t was Governor Lind who tried to
secure the passage of gross earnings
tax bill whereby the railroads would
have been taxed on their gross earn
ings as they are in other states. And
it was a republican legislature that op-
posed the bill and defeated it.
In other states the tax on gross
earnings Oh railroads is as high as S
per cent, and i'll Kansas it is even as
high as IL per cent. By the refusal Of
the republican legislature to raise the
tax on the gross earnings Of railroads
to 4 per cent, they have deprived the
state of $o,0o0,OOO of taxes, even if the
next legislature should make the
raise as soon as possible.
1t was at the initiative of Governor
Lind that the Somerville law was
passed, and a license fee imposed on
foreign corporations for the privilege
or doing business in the state, which
law has already brought upwards of
$4,000 into the treasury.
1t was under the direction of Cover
nor Lind that the state board of
equalization raised the assessment of
the street railway company of the
Twin Cities nearly $2,OOO,OOO, and
raised the assessment of the mining
companies in st. Louis county $1.6OO.-
600. and raised the assessment of the
lumber syndcates and other tax dods-
ing corporations so as to make them
bear their husband proper share of the
burden of taxation, and not let the
bulk of it rest upon the shoulders of
the people at large.
And now comes this republican
spellbinder and OH the strength of
few trumped up charges and state
lnents expressly manipulated to mis-
lead the unwary he calls upon the peo-
tple Of Minnesota to repudiate Cover
nor Lind and put in his place a man
who is bound hand and foot to the in
terests of syndicates and corporations
who would not dare to say his soul
was his own; whose record from start
to finish proves him to be a man that
