we comment to the people OF Kan
diy county the following editorials
taken from the Willmar Argus:
''More than ever are the American
people looking to the republican party
as the party to regulate the trusts or
annihi'ate them if possible. There is
full control Of the Iawmaking machin.
cry Of tho government by tho repub-
Iiesns and if they do not at least at
tempt to do something for the protsc-
ton OF the people they will have time
telling the people why during the oext
campaign. .''-Willmar Argus, Feb. Is,
1900.
"Trusts are still increasing in num-
Der and showing up the prices of their
commodities. The republican party
owes 1t to the people to prepare and
put into law some measure that will
discourage the formation of trusts and
so regulate them a. to make it impOs.
sible for them to advance and control
prices. II the party fails in this dur.
ing the present session of congress
there is no doubt but that the anti
republicans known as fusiOnists will
attempt to make political capital out
of the failure And we want to saw
as a republican that such capital will
cause many man to vote against the
republican party in the next election
1t the republican party with all the po-
liticaI machinery of the government at
its back does not enact stringent anti
trust laws while it has chance it will
undoubtedly be called upon to say why
it did not. ''-Willmar Argus, Jan. II,
1900.
The Argus is right. The republican
party is "havipg time' telling the
people why they did not pass anti
trust laws, and they have failed to
make an impression so far. Plain,
honest, fearless John Lind. told the
people of Kandiyohi county what he
koew about the trus is. The people be-
lieve him. The republican bosses are
desperate. They have arranged to
have Moses E. Clapp at Willmar
Monday night to try and couuteract
the wave of enthusiasm which was
started by the governors visit. We
do not know much about Clapp. No
doubt he is a good campaigner or he
would not have been sent for at such
| critical time. But the files of the
W illmar Argus come to our reli.
| again. We found the following edi-
torial which tells us plainly what
kind of a man Clapp is:
"Gen. Moses E. Clapp is as good a
man from point of ability as the re-
publicans have to put up for COVER
| nor. There is only one objection VIC
can find TO him and that ia his assn-
ciates. He will mingls with tho trusts
and big corporations and the people oil
Minnesota would not tolerate that
kind of a man for governor no matter
how able otherwise. -Wilimar Argus,
Nov. 1899.
! Kind voter, don't you think that the
republican bosses are ''having time
when they have. to rely on a man who
''mingles with the trusts and big
corporation" to explain why their
party did not kill the trusts?
Remember that Gov. Lind paid his
own fare when he came to Willmar tc
address you. Remember that Nose.
E. Clapp will come to- you on free
transportation furnished by the cor.

ly because we overheard Darius
Reese say that If their state. central
committee had not been so literally
furnished with transportation from
the railroads they could not have
sent out so manv speakers. And We
also have the word Of the passenger

effect that John Lind had. never both.
