QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine iD the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous ard organic
action of the system, and that is oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
With headaches and other aches. You

The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-09-07

The contest was open and fair. The
Free Press is a Republican paper. 1t
has been conducted as such under the
present management for twenty years,
and it has never yet refused to sup
port the candidates of the party duly
nominated by its chosen representa-
tives, and it is not going to make be-
ginning now. We admit that we have
tasted more palatable political medi-
cine than this nomination, but there
is nothing in Mr.. Viewers selection
that affords reasonable excuse for the
Free Press to jeopardise the interests
of great political party by opposing
him, and it proposes to swallow its
own chagrin and stand up Loyalty for
the ticket-eyery man and without
exception. Not only will this be the
course of the paper but it will like
wise be the course of its editor. This
may be disappointment to some of
our friends, but it seems to us the
only honorable and manly course to
pursue. No one will deny that Mr..
Weaver possesses the requisite qualifi-
cations for the position to which he
has been nominated Qualification
being one of the most important quail
ties in candidate, personalities have
no place in campaign after a party
convention has issued its edict and
sealed its choice.
The Republicans of this county need
to go into the contest with united
front if they are to win out on ma
tional, state and local matters. There
must be no examinations or recrimina-
tions, and the full vigor of this paper
will be bent in the one direction OF
bringing success to the ticket with the
motto victory as its watchword.

GRosYENoR,s Hot SHOT.

When the Democrats wake up Con-
gresham Grosvenor, they find man of
pouring hot shot into their theories
and vagaries in way that is likely
to make it decidedly uncomfortable
for them. Champ Clark found it SO
the other day when he woke up Mr..
Grosvenor at the Mountain Lake
park assembly, in the Blue Ridge
mountains the other day. Clark
dwelt at some length upon the danger
of this country becoming an empire
because of the possession of the Philip
pines and charged Grosvenor as one of
the men being most responsible for
persuading President Mckinley in fol-
lowing the course. Mr. Grosvenor in
his reply put the question straight and
showed up the Bryanites in their true
colors. Following are few epigrams
from his speech:
''The Democratic candidate for
president came to Washington and
worked for ratification of the peace
treaty When that was accomplished
by Democratic votes and the president
as commander-in- chief of the army
and navy, began to assert sovereignty
and maintain supremacy over the is
lands, which are our property. Bryan
and the 'Aunties' crawled into the
manager and began to howl piteously
at first, but now they are trying to
bark and bite viciously. My friend
Clark don't care red for all the Fill
pinos today. But his party and his
platform is being popped up with
bamboo poles from the island of
Luzon, and Aguinaldo and few other
rebels are trying desperately to hold
up the Democracy. Yes, to hold them
up If not one way then the other, for
they held Spain, and treacherously
went back on their most solemn pro-
misses and agreements. Never, since
the sneak that Adam played on hu-
manity by charging the responsibility
for his fall upon his Grandmother
Eve, has there been such cowardice as
the Democrats now display.

Mr.. Gunders has won for himself
the profound respect of even his OPP
ponents in his magnificent fight, while
his friends and supporters are proud of
the gallant fight he made. 1t was the
greatest campaign ever put up by any
single individual in the political his
tory of the county, and he will yield his
Office January LIST with the respect of
the taxpayers of the county second to
no man who has filled the Office.
Mr.. Gunders will not be persuaded
to make the run independent. He APP
preciates that the party has treated
him generously and he will do moth
ing that will eopardise the interests of
Republican success. He could do no
less than remain loyal to the teachings
of Republicanism without humiliat-
ing his friends and marring an other
wise honorable career.

ENLARGED WEEKLY.

With this issue of September 18th, the
Weekly Free Press comes to its
readers enlarged to a seven column
quarto SIZE This increase in size is
demanded in order to keep pace with
the requirements of our constantly in
creasing subscription list on the one
hand, and determination on the part
of the management to give to it's pa
irons paper that shall not be equaled
by any other newspaper in the county.
We shall give our readers more for
their money than any other paper in
Blue Earth county, and at lower
price than any of its competitors.
The subscription price of one dollar
per year will be continued. Advance
payment, however, will be strictly en-
forced, and we feel will be cheerfully
complied with our readers. There is
not man in the county so poor as not
to be able to pay two cents week fol
home paper containing the large
amount of local and general informa.
ton that will fill the columns of the
Weekly Free Press. Every issue will
contain what would be equal hun.
dred page book. 1t will give the reader
all the information he will require Oh
local and general affairs to keep fully
abreast with the times
We are enabled to increase the size
without adding to the cost of sub,
scription only because we have recently
added new typesetting machine tt
our Office. This machine discounts al
competitors in setting type by hand.
1t will set double the type that the
same force can handle by hand com,
position. The benefit of the saving we
propose to give to our readers.
In order to introduce the Weekly Free
Press into families where it has here
tofore been stranger, we will send
the paper to new subscribers to Jan.
LIST, 1901 for 25 cents, and we expect
that this unprecedented offer will be
taken advantage of by many hundreds
Of Blue Earth county farmers and
Others.
Send money by P. o. order or regis
tered letter, and get the best paper
published in the county.

are not fools, by any means, and they
can see through knot hole at any
time when it is brought close to the
eye, especially as close as this one is.
The hearing before the commission is
set for Sept. 4th. The fusionists hold
their convention on the 9th and a great
spread will doubtless be made over
what great things they have accom-
plished.
But their action is so radical that
they are likely to overdo the matter.
Swenska Folkets Tidning, which has
looked over the proposed rates says
that it is probably good thing for
the business interests of the state that
the commission began late as the
move is SO radical that the proposed
rates would paralyze the roads and SO
effect all other business interests of
the state. 1t says:
The rates proposed by the commission
are nothing less than revolutionary
both in theory and in fact. Rates
have been Topped off at rate which
absolutely knocks out all possibility of
profit for the railroads. So sweeping
are the reductions in fact that it is
plain that they cannot by any pos
sibility be sustained This fact makes
all the stronger the belief that the
new schedules were not so much in
tended to reduce the cost of railroad
transportation as to increase the
Demo-Pop vote.
The people of Minnesota do not love
the railroads They know that the
great corporations are in the habit OF
taking everything in sight and that
they think twice of themselves always
where they think of the people once.
Nevertheless to cripple the railroads is
to cripple the people. The Republl-
can administrations have always dealt
fairly and Justly with the railroads in
the past They have not favored them ;
they have not been backward in seek
ing Justice done the people, but they
have never descended to the plane of
exploiting the railroads for the sake
of few votes.
Fortunately for the state and its peo-
pie long before the present commission
can carry out the ruinous policy it has
proposed the Republicans will again
be in power and the authority of the
state will be exercised in exacting
form the railroads what is fair and
right, not in trying to ruin them.
The Free Press does not believe the
people desire the s,roads to be in any
way crippled. 1t would not be to their
interests to have them crippled, but
they do want rates revised on a fair
basis, and justice done to points that
are now Disseminated against, as
Mankato is and has been. But there
has long been suspicion that the
railroad commission as now constitut-
ed was governed too much by politics
and Gov. Lind, to take action that
would be fair to both roads and peo-
pie. But the people will look after
that matter in November next and Sc
lect commission that will approach
the question of rate appointment with
out the question of political effect all
the time before their eyes.

DENRY FOR Mckinley

One of the significant changes from
Bryan to Mckinley is that of Charles
DENLY, of Indiana, a life long Demo
craft, and who was Cleveland's minis
ter to China Mr.. DENLY is thorough
ly conversant with the situation in the
Orient and cannot be hoodwinked by
any of Bryan's cunning phrases regard
ing imperialism. He has written a
letter which has just been made pub
lie, in which he declares he can not
support Bryan nti-expansion policy
and shows up the Nebraskan as being
the real father of Imperialism. He re-
views the part that Bryan took in get
ting the treaty with Spain ratified and
shows that Mr.. Bryan is clearly re-
sponsible for the ratification and that
had he used his influence against ii
with his party associates it would
have failed Mr.. Bryan acknowledges
his responsibility for the ratification
and now changes sides. Mr.. DENLY
then says We had occupied the is
lands until Feb. 8, 1899. On that day
Aguinaldo made war on us. Our sol
diers had to fight for their lives. The
treaty was ratified on Feb. Z, 1899,
Mr.. Bryan advised his friends in the
senate to vote to ratify the treaty after
the battle of Feb. 5, had been fought.
