J. II. BLOCK FOR STATE TREAS
IJRER

Republicans everywhere should re-
member and cast their vote for J. 81.
Block, of ST. Peter, for state treasurer
and not be misled into thinking that
FL. G. Koerner the fusion candidate is
the present able and efficient state
treasurer, as many fusionists would
like to have them think, and take no
pains to enlighten differently, if they
find such an idea prevails. Fl. G.
Koerner the fusion candidate is an en-
ploye of the state examiner office,
and no relation to August T. Koerner,
the present state treasurer, who is Civ
ing Mr.. Block a most active support.
Mr.. Block, the Republican candidate
for the Office, is man in every way
we'll qualified for the position for
which he is named and will take up
the duties of the Office, which have
been ably discharged by Mr. Koerner,
and. discharge them in the same able
and efficient manner. Mr.. Block has
held the Office of sheriff of Nicollet
county for some ten years back and
has discharged the duties thereof in a
most creditable and able manner,
and the fact that he has been con-
tinued in the Office for so many years
indicates that he has enjoyed to the
fullest extent the confidence ofss the
people of that county
He is possessed of the requisite
business qualifications to conduct the
business of the office for which he is
named, and the Free Hress believes
that in event of his election, which is
as certain as anything of that nature
can be, that Mr.. Block will prove a
most popular official He is possessed
of most congenial nature, and is in
every way a companionable man, who
readily makes friends wherever he
goes, and is making a strong canvass
through the state.
AS this is the first time in number
of years that the second district has
been accorded one of the more import
ant state officials, the Republicans OF
the district should see to it that Mr.
Block is given rousing plurality, and
we believe the Republicans of Blue
Earth county will see that this county
does it's share toward making it a
large one

Senator Hanna Talks.

DR.. Driver then advanced and said
"Mankato today is honored by the
advance agent of prosperity, by the
grand marshal of that grand old party
of liberty, of equality before the law,
whether it be the white man of the
north, the black man of the south OF
the yellow man of the Philippines
He is the advance agent of all of these
things, and I am supremacy happy to
introduce to you the Hon. Marcus A.
Hanna, who will now address this
magnificent audience. .
Mr.. Hanna, who appears like a
typical American business man and
is fine looking old gentleman, said
as soon as the prolonged applause sub
sided:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
Ny time is too limited to under take
any further discussion. You have
heard of the money issue that has
been put forward in this campaign for
your consideration, free silver, i'm

AND ROsING DIDN'T COVER IT.

AND ROSING DIDN'T COVER 1T.
Anent the coming out of Mike Doran
for the Republican national and state
ticket, the political writer of the Min
neapolis Journal gives the following
story regarding visit of Chairman
Rosing to Mr.. Doran TO remind him
that little money would come handy
at fusion headquarters. He says:
. They tell an amusing story of Mr..
Rosing's recent visit to Mike Doran.
The king that is in Democratic realm
thought that in these dire .sdays It
might be just as well for him to look
up the dead king. so he dropped
intoMike's commission s house one day.
After getting through a rather chilly
reception, during which Mr.. Rosing
noticed that his hands were in his
way, he said to the passe boss: "Well,
Mr.. Doran, you are stouter than you
were. -
"You haven't seen me for two
years, said Mike as he drew the
lower edge his Celtic upper lip
straight across his face and looked out
of the window. t
Mr.. Rosing saw the point and
changed the subject. ''Mr. Doran, "
he began again, with a sort of don t.
you remember that $40, 600 that-you-
won-on-my-judgment tone in his
voice, ''the campaign is getting along
finely. There is every prospect that
Lind will be reelected, but of course
we are taking no chances, and
thought would drop in on you and see
what you could do to help us out. &"
Mr.. Doran rummaged in his
pockets. While he rummaged there
was silence.
At last he pulled out thousand dol
lar bill.
= "Mr. Rosing," he said in his ex-
asperating way, "there is 81, 900 that
says that John Lind will not be re-
elected ..and I've got one hundred more
like it that are ready to say the same. -
And Mr.. Rosing went sadly away.

Senators Hanna and Frye were given
a most enthusiastic welcome to Man
kato Tuesday. A vast throng of people
listened with breathless interest to
every word that dropped from their
lips, save when spontaneous outbursts
of applause ran through the great as
semblage, drowning the voice of the
speaker momentarily. 1t was well
come such as few. men in America
could command, and such as was never
before accorded any man in Mankato
1t surpassed by far the demonstration
on the occasion of Bryan's recent visit,
and set high water mark, such as
the greatest events of the past could
only approach, not equal.
The day opened cold and cherries,
with heavy, damp clouds overhanging
the sky, but as the forenoon wore on
there were signs of an approaching
breaking away. Just as the two dis
tinguished senators mounted the plat
form, the clouds parted and the sun
shot down its warm rays that seemed
to extend natures welcome to the
speakers and the good cause which
they represent. 1t seemed prophetic
of approaching events, when the clouds
of political uncertainty shall be rolled
aside on Nov. 9Th and the golden rays
of continued prosperity be allowed to
fall over the land through a sweeping
Republican victory at the polls
The crowds began to pour into the
city at an early hour, by team, on
bicycles and horseback, and by train.
Each train brought in its jovial,
pleasant-faced crowd, who came to see
two of the master minds of the Repub-
ican party, one great organizer and
thinker, the other great thinker and
orator. The Chicago Great Western
road ran an excursion train from the
Twin Cities, and it brought in 14O
people, including the famous Repub-
lican Flambeau club which attended
McKinley's inauguration at Washing
ton and expects to attend his second
inauguration next March. 1t came
thirty strong, in brilliant uniforms.
The clubs band accompanied it. The
Eighth ward Republican club of Min
neapolis also came on the train in
force. The train was met at the de-
pot by the Mankato Rough Riders and
escorted to the union depot, where the
entire procession, including G. L..
Kings band, met the special train
bearing the noted visitors and escorted
them to the speaking stand
The Omaha train arrived at 10 80 a.
N. with several extra coaches attach
ed and all filed to overlooking. 1t is
estimated that hundred people came
from st. Peter alone, by train and
team, and half as many came from
Eagle Lake, while every town around,
big and little, near and far, sent it's
delegation. Several thousand strangers
were in the city

A Vast Assemblage.

1t is difficult to estimate the size of
the crowd, but it's extent was great.
The editor of Democratic paper, who
also attended the Bryan meeting, es-
Inmates today's assemblage at Z, 900
to 8, 600, which is third more people
than attended and Bryan meeting.
This estimate is too conservative, and
10, 600 would be nearer the mark A
local Democratic paper claimed that
there were 1900 people at the Bryan
meeting, and if this was so there were
no less than 10, 600 people present to-
day But whether 10, 600 or 10, 900,
the crowd was an immense one, and
thronged around the speakers stand
and clear across Front street, which
was roped off, and clear to the North
western depot, and back almost to
Main street, while windows in the
neighborhood were filled and roofs of
buildings lined.
The crowd dubbed over with en-
thusiasm and frequently applauded the
utterances of the speakers The ar
rival of the train was just on time. 1t
had made but one previous stop in
Minnesota, and that was at Owatonna
On the train, besides the two United
States senators, were Hon Victor B.

DISCUSSED THE PHILIPPINES
The Social Science Club Talked of the
Way They Should be Governed.

The meeting of the Social Science
club at +. Schiller hall Tuesday was
largely attended and proved one Of the
most interesting meetings so far.
There was much interest displayed in
the subject discussed, which was
"How Shall the Philippines be Gov
erned2'' and many took part in the
discussion. The paper was presented
by Judge J. o. Andrews who handled
the question in an able manner.
Though the question is one that is in
the political arena, the club discussed
it wholly on its merits pro and con,
and demonstrated that men can get to-
gether and discuss such questions.
without arousing animosities, or per-
sonal feeling.
Mr. Andrews dwelt at some length
on the conditions existing in the is
land and the capabilities of the peo
,ple, education, etc. He also spoke of
the effect of colonies upon nations.
He said he had thought that a govern
ment something like Canada has in
which the governor general would be
appointed by the president, and the
rest of the government by the Fill
pinos would be the most suitab lie, but
after looking at it from various points,
of view he was of the opinion that
they should be given practically an
independent government under the
protection of our government having
their president, congress, ETC., selected
by themselves, their constitution to
be approved by the United States,
without power to declare war or con-
clude peace except on approval of this
country; practically free trade be-
tween the islands and United States,
and tariff imposed upon the imports
from other nations, and out of these
revenues the United States should be
reimbursed for the expense of its
armies. That in brief was his view.
Rev. Father Hughes opened the dis
cussion and disagreed with the paper
on number of points. He thought
form of government something like
Canada's as suitable to the needs
of the islands and which is practically
self government in every thing but
name, was best suited to present con-
ditions, and that the duty of the
United States was to uplift the civ
ilization.
The discussion following was inter-
esting and brought many views, from
those who would let the islands go to
those who believed that they are now
part and parcel of the United States
and should be kept for all time. Vari-
GUS features of colonial and general
government were discussed from
high standpoint.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 80,
when Prof. G. F. Koehler will read
paper on England Policy in South
Africa, and A. E. Clark will lead
the discussion.

applause
Now the balance of trade, let me tell
you what 1 mean by the balance of
trade. In 1898, the first year of the
Republican administration, it was
$615, 900, 000 1t never had been over
5000, 600, 900 before, and that was I'M
der Republican administration in 1892.
1t was $1S, 900, 900 against us in 1898,
under Democratic administration.
What I mean by balance of trade is
that we sold abroad in 1898 $685., 900, :
900 more goods than we brought in
from abroad, that is abroad was COM
PEELED to pay us that in gold. In 1899
the balance of trade in our favor was
$500, 900, 900. In 1900 the balance of
trade in our favor is 1914, 900, 900. In
three years of this prophecy of bad
industry and no export trade of W. J.
Bryan, our balance of trade is 81, 900, :
900, 900, and in the previous one hun
dred years it was only 1888, 900, 000
Under this horrible condition of
things that Mr.. Bryan prophesied in
1896, we have balance of trade in
our favor of five times more than in
the prior one hundred years.

Which Was 1t?

Now, W. J. Bryan was undertaking to
either brighten the people by cheating
them, or he was exercising the best
Judgment that he had. If he is trying
to cheat the people he is not entitled
to their confidence today, and if he
was using his best judgment he is not
entitled to their support today.
The Republican congress was called
into extra session by William McKin-
ley, our excellent president good a
president for his times as was Wash
ington for his or Abraham Lincoln
was for his, (Applause) was called into
extra session as soon as he was sworn
into Office, and Immediately they re-
pealed the Wilson law. Don't you far
mers remember how that Wilson law
went for you? In the Mckinley bill
we protected the farmers of the United
States, we put on heavy duties for the
farmer; in the Wilson law they scaled
them one-half and put many things
on the free list. For instance, you re-
member wool. They put wool on the
free list, and as result to the farmer
the first year they killed off ten mil
lions of the sheep and sheep went
down in value more than one-half, and
wool went down in value more than a
half, and the farmers in the United
States lost in single year $3.50, 900,
900 in sheep and wool alone. We re-
enacted the Republican policy of pro-
lection in the Dingley law and put a
duty on wool, and today wool has
gone back and sheep have gone back,
and farmer friend in Maryland toll d
me that he sold his whole herd of sheep
for 80 cents head, and today he
would not sell them for 81 per head.
(Applause). Again, under the Wilson
law the farmers in this country lost
over $500, 600, 900 in depreciation of live
stock alone. They lost $40O. 600, 600 in
the depreciation of horses. When I
say live stock do not mean hogs. You
know what influence that bill has had
on the price of hogs. The American
Agriculturist says that under the Will
son bill the depreciation of farm land
in the United States was 5000, 900, 600,
and lastmonth' S report of the agricultur
al department says that the depreciation
has been entirely made up under Re-
publican legislation.

theories and vagaries, to tell them
what the natural conditions of this
country are under Republican ad-

that any of these collateral issues are
