national committee. This is warranted
to cure the most stubborn case of in
somnia, unless the patient has an in
curably bad conscience.
The friends of reform will rejoice *
learn that Mr.. L. G. Long Of Magnolia
Mimi, who two years ago was the can
didate Of the Middle-of- the.Road Popu
lists for governor, has declared that ht
will this year actively support, with
pen and voice, Bryan and Stevenson
and the state ticket headed by John
Lind. Mr.. Long will be tower o1
strength throughout the state.
: Mark Hanna has issued another note
OF warning to his party workers anent
the danger of defeat by reason of over
confidence. He is afraid that the Dem.
ocrats will carry New York, and he in.
Inmates that the Bryan campaign man.
ayers will not be above the awful per.
tidy OF using lot of money for the
corruption Of the voters. {. Mr. Hanna,
poor man, believes only in carrying on
a campaign of education, and it grieves
him to think that the other side has the
sinews of war and will use them, while
he would not stoop to such political
methods. When his friend Rathbone
secured Hanna's election to the United
States senate by buying the necessary
votes, Hanna resented this corrupt use
OF money by getting Rathbone fat
job as superintendent of the postal
service of Cuba and thus exiling him
from his native country.
Word comes from Washington that
the Republican plan of campaign has
been changed. The first campaign
book issued by the Republican congress
SIGNAL committee is being suppressed.
1t is difficult to get a copy for love or
money. The trouble is that the book
was discovered to be full of boome-
rangs. There is an entire chapter de-
voted to Colonies and Colonization, I"
and in its so-called ''proof" of the as.
sertion that government by force is a
good thing for the people who are thus
governed, it quotes the condition Of the
people in India. It says: Probably
the most striking example of the ad.
vantages accruing to the population
from a government supplied by expe-
rienced people Of other blood and eli.
mate is in the case of India.'
Hanna has discovered that this sort
OF thing, together with the style of
arguments employed by Roosevelt in
his notorious St. Paul speech, will not
do. So new tactics are to. be followed
from this time on. The campaign
speakers, as far as possible, are to hide
the fact that the party is at war with
Lincoln and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and are to talk about the
full dinner pail and the threatening
danger to the single gold standard.
The campaign must be costing Mark
Hanna's committee mint of money.
Here is The Enterprise of Omaha out
for Mckinley and imperialism. The
Enterprise is the. official organ of the
Grand Lodge of the Free Masons of Mis-.
souri, and its jurisdiction. The organ
and the lodge which it represents have
been pledged to keep out of ~artisan
politics; but by some means lne En-.
terprise has been turned into Repub-
ican organ Of the rankest kind
The stock argument of the Repub-
licans is the prosperity of the country
as shown by the enormous increase in
the exports of the country as compared
with the imports and the consequent
Favorable balance of trade The
idea is that we become rich by sending
wealth out Of the country and getting
nothing in return. If we had 1000, 900
instead Of IS, 900 soldiers in the Philip
pines our Favorable" balance would
be still greater, as it would be neces-
sary to send more of our products across
the sea, and our people would have
more work to do. When farmer buys
gold brick for IS, 900, he secures "fa-
vorable balance of trade" for he must
take $1,000 worth of products away
from the farm and bring nothing back.
This kind of prosperity is produced by
Republican legislation.
Inc Reform state campaign may be
said to be just opening. While, With
the state campaign, the state proper is
ready for general campaign meetings,
etc., etc., several of the counties will
not hold their conventions until quite
late. The general campaign, however,
will not wait for those, but, under the
impetus Of the magnificent state ticket,
which all agree upon ours to be, the
campaign will go forward with great
energy.
All eyes will now turn to the coming
of Mr.. Bryan in the closing day of the
month and the first of another month.
The particulars will be known next
week, but it is certain that he will
make a wider circuit of the state than
he has ever done before. He will prob.
ably go in at Crookston from North
Dakota, across the state to Duluth,
thence through the Sixth district to the
Twin Cities, where grand double meet.
ings will be held, reaching Saltwater,
