Reform PRESS BUREAU.
ST.. PAUL, Oct. 20, 1900.
The Reform forces are making a very
satisfactory and encouraging campaign
throughout the state. The redoubta-
BILE General Apathy, Of when we hear
so much, has failed to get even within
gunshot of jar meetings. The greatest
possible earnestness and enthusiasm
has prevailed everywhere and gives US
the best possible assurance for the out
come at the polls on Nov. 6.
Governor Lind has been speaking in
a great many counties and he has al
, ways drawn large audiences. His
clear, earnest, concise exposition Of ma
tional and state issues, has male him
hosts of new friends wherever he has
spoken and has strengthened the old
| ones. The people see in him more
than ever the champion of their inter-
ests and of their rights, the opponent
of dishonest corporations and grasping
syndicates
Thomas J. Meighen, Democratic.
Peoples candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, has also been making hosts Of
! friends. His active and efficient work
as member of the state board Of
equalization in forcing certain corpora
tions and syndicates to bear their hon.
est share of the burden of taxation, is
becoming better known and making
friends for him every day.
The confidence which the laboring
men have in M. E. Neary, Democratic
Peoples candidate for secretary Of
state, and which they have in former
times expressed by electing him to po-
sitions of trust and honor in their Or
CARNATIONS, has been growing con-
stantly and will make him strong
candidate with the people throughout
the state.
The large circle of friends which
Henry G. Koerner, Democratic.P Peoples
candidate for state treasurer, has in
every county of Minnesota, gives him
an advantage such as few men possess.
In every county of the state Mr.. Koer-
ner has personal friends, irrespective
of party, that will stand by him and
work for his election and the election
of those on the state ticket with him.
| The reputation which Robert c.
Saunders, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS candi-
date for attorney general, has won as an
attorney in advancing the rights of the
people and enforcing the laws Of the
state, especially in the enforcement Of
taxes against standing pine on exempt
land grants, is appreciated by voters,
irrespective Of party, and makes him a
tower of strength for the entire state
ticket
Among the things to which the pres
ent administration points with special
pride, and which more than anything
else have proven it to be the friend of
the people of the state, the champion
of their interests and welfare, there il
none which deserves greater praise
than the work Of the present railroad
and warehouse commission. P. M.
Ringdal and T. J. Knox are members
Of this commission. They have re.
duced the freight on grain from large
section of the state to tie markets.
This reduction will save the farmers oil
Minnesota about $4OO, 900 per year.
During six years previous to their I'D
ministration, Duluth weights on grain
fell short at Buffalo an average of q
pounds per 1000 bushels. Since they
took charge, this shortage has only
averaged 8 pounds per 1000 bushels
If you want this kind of service to e
on, vote for them. They are candidates
for reelection, and vote also fer S. M
Owen to keep them company. He il
editor Of The Farm, Stock and Home
and so well and so favorably known
that anything we could say would b.
superfuous.
State Weiehmaster's Report.
In the speeches supplied to him b,
the Republican state committee, Cap
tain Van SAINT has been making vigor
Gus attacks on the work Of the stat
weighmaster, Mr.. Edward O'Brien
Charges of gross mismanagement
heavy deficiencies, "less work and NOR
expenses. he poured forth. in might,
torrents, and all this long before an,
report had been made, and long befor
he or the committee that supplied hin
with speeches could know whethe
such charges were founded on fact O.
not.
The Captain certainly must feel a
cheap as a 10 cent bargain counter nov
that the official report comes out ant
shows more. work and less expense,
surplus instead Of the deficiency of tn
preceding administration. It is rec
ord Of honesty and efficiency such a
every supporter Of the present admins
tration will point to with pride.
