you q q you did get just
Eexactly what 1t cost them, but the!
lstrouble with the! whole business was
that the tWine cost so much 1T wasn't
worth the price. at was not exactly
the kind Of reform you expected III that
institution but 1t is ,exactl 3; Nyl,at YOU
got, and that Was he full film ent sof
one of the promises that were made
ItWo Years ago by Coy. Lind &. sss

u There was ano other promise that he
made, which am going to examine for
al few moments now, and Y that was
Ithat if he was elected governor Of this
State he would reform the grain In
Espection depar artnaent am willing to-
lsconcede that he has reformed It: am
willing to concedeS everything that he
claimed he would 20 as far as he went.
but he has not quite succeeded in sat
| 5isfying all the people of this state upon
that subject vet. We know, that the
tiOn is not quite what 1T ough to;
be, and want to tell you, my friends.
from my experience that IL never vi. i

! the state. It lis not like weighing out
Whea here you can depend upon a.
mathematical certainty for az result
but when It comes to inspecting wheat
you have got to depend upon man S
| Judgment, upon the eye upon the
Judgment of a human being, and he is
going to make some M njstake, /, ana I
/ don't care how honest. and how faithful
1.-The man may be. "a ow, Gov. Lind ana
everybody else that made the charges
1.-TWO Years ago, knew this Just as wei
las know it, but the farmers of the
state believed that wheat inspection
could be carried on tosa mathematical
lfcertainty; that with the right kind OF
men in there there would be no further
reason for complaint. Now, Gov Lind
must have known that this could not
be done and vet he tried to convey to
your minds that if he was elected gov
ernor Of this state that complaint
would be taken away entirely. He
simply promised a. good deal more than
any other man ever will he able to
Eacconp ish in this day. TO say that
there was not cause for complaint two
four and six years ago, I am not going
to contend. am not going to defend
Republicans, by any means. n Some Of
{ them were incompet men, and some
are very inconap men to-day.
| Take some Of them that you know;
would You ever pick them out as the
guardian n of your interests, out there
Iespecially? You know some Of them
Would Id You select some Of those indi-
ISviduals that have been appointed in
THAT departme ent Men who never
handled q bushel OF wheat in their
lives Yet to-day they are your guar
sdiaans, olking q fter your interests in
thess department., and the consequences
is that the result has been about the
same as ever. The change has been So
imp tible that many OF you have
mot been able to see It, But there is
lsone thing in the administration of the
affairs, Of that depart that we can
/ all see very plainly and that Is that 1t
costs so many dollars to do certain
kind Of business. There are so many
car loads Of wheat shipped to Mime
apolis and Duluth every year, and it
costs YOU so many cents a. car load to
have that wheat Inspected, and when it
comes to the business part Of the de-
| parrtrn@ n@ent@ @ q Mr. Lind has again failed to
kgSolAAe# w 10 your rNeXpectatiOnS, or his
own. forsI haven't any doubt but he
WAS honest in that part al, it, that he
would see to 1t that none hut honest
1 men were appointed. I presume that
| ne thinks he has made such appoint
nlents But he has run up abainst the
I same difficulty that any governor runs
up aeainst that Is, he has appointed q
i lot OF men on the recommends ton of
some one else. and some OF them have
4 not IS turned M out to be the class Of men
4 that ever ought to hold Soffice & and
i there a he has not been any more sue
$cessful in this particular brarlch8of the
business than any other governor of
the State Of N Minnesota. s23 s:
