There is a woman's outing club up
in Maine, composed of a dozen Port
land feminines that glories in a name
which has proved a puzzle to pro-
nounce and an equal puzzle as to mean
ing. For ten years these women have
preserved their secret, but it has just
leaked out that Rammejheckt, the club
name, is composed of the first letter of
the Christian name of each of the

Republican County Ticket.

s The Republicans Sof Morrison
county have placed before the people
this year an unusually strong county
ticket. Every man on the ticket is
well known and prominent in public
affairs in the county or in his dist
riot. It is a ticket that deserves the
loyal support OF all Republicans, and
should be supported by all voters
who desire to have the best men
placed in office. There are several
nominees who have not heretofore
been candidates for prominent county
offices, but their service in other lines
show them to BE- capable and quail
fed. Morrison county is Republican
and the Republican voters should
not be coaxed into defeating their
own ticket. Democrats in county
office are expected to, and do, exert
their influence the year around for
Democratic organization and Demo-
cratic party. AS an example, for the
past three terms Jos. Meyer has been
elected county treasurer by the aid
OF a little Republican support here
and there, while he is one
OF the most untiring and
persistent Democratic workers
in the county. His position brings
him in contact with nearly all the
voters, and he is always aiding the
Democratic cause. but ON election
day he has been able to coax Il few
Republicans to support him, aud
place him in position to continue his
antagonism to the Republican party.
He is only OH example, and there
are similar cases.
The Republican county ticket fairly
represents tie different parts Of the
county, and also the different ele
ments that compose the Republican
party. 1t is deserving OF the Repub-
lican support

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

DR.. Christian ohnsOn, who was a
resident OF Morrison county for
several years, and who was for some
time a leading Populist Of the
Seventh congressional district, has
returned to the Republican party
and is doing able work for the cause.
In u resent letter to the Willmar
Tribune lie gives many reasons why
he favors Republican policies this
year, and one interesting part of his
letter is the following:
Nov let me apply my views to
actual life. A few miles out o. town
lives a friend OF mine, farmer, a
reader OF the Tribune and an honest
and Industrious man with a large
family on his hands. This man was
fairly prosperous and paying for his
farm of 200 acres in 1892. In 1896 this
same man was practically bankrupt.
His debt was $3, 600 and he could not
then sell his farm for that amount.
In 1898 he got his Indebtedness placed
at 6 per cent interest a reduction OF
some ~ per cent and today his
equity is worth at least $4,000 and
be is reducing his Indebtedness
yearly and if present conditions con-
tinue he will after a few years get
out of debt and own a home and
competence for himself In his declin-
ing years and his family OF children.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 candidly be-
lieve that keeping Mckinley in the
presidential chair for another term
will keep Industrial conditions az
they are and enable this man and
thousands of others like him to save
their homes. And as cdndidly be-
lieve that electing Bryan will so dis
turb Industrial conditions that nine
OF ten. men in such circumstances
will lose their homes"
