JUST WARNED OVER,

The Demo-Pop papers say that the
silver issue is only joke, only inserted
in the plank to please few and would
if voted, make no difference. YET
when the St. Paul Globe refuses to SUP
port this same l6 to l issue they be-
come frenzied in their excitement an6
can scarcely find words strong enough
to condemn the action. This proves
that ''imperialism" socalled is not the
paramount issue but that ''free silver
