to the cause in this state. In view OF
the fact that the majority of their can
didates are incapable of properly defend
ing the issues and doing justice to their
candidacy from the stump, the comr1rce-
tee has employed and scattered about
over the state a large consignment of
spellhtnders. 1t appears that these
"spellbinders" are all hired at the sal
airy of SIS per week and are given their
expenses. This sort Of thing has kindled
the wrath of many of the country Re
publican papers, who are protesting that
the plan is unjust from several stand
points. The Pelican Rapids Press says
We are willing to submit to the peo-
pie of this county if the employment of
the $l5-a-week spellbinder' is not libel
upon the intelligence of the people of
Otter Tail county. The great majority
Of the formers are better posted in gem
eral politics than the average $l5-a-week
spellbinder.' Don't it2 But few of the
Republican candidates are takers SO
the committee has employed q large
number Of these 'spenbinders' to do the
talking. Keep your eye on the spell

Republicans in Polk county recently
asked the question: How have the Peo-
Pies party saved taxes to the people Of
this county and what have they to show
for their retrenchment?" No doubt they
have had their inquiry answered to their
entire satisfaction, and in such d man

The Peoples party pointed to the new
jail and the court house as tangible evi-
dences that they had saved the people
Of Polk county $4,000 In taxes, and had

a son of the old-lne Democrat who is
the nominee of his party for the house.

two paragraphs, which appeared within
a few inches of each other in last nights
