of votes on election day. He said:

OF VOCoS on 0leCClOn Gay. lie SAID:
All men honor Lincoln today; all men will
honor Mckinley tomorrow. In 1896 business
was dead. Forty per cent of the railroads were
in the hands of receivers. Five million out of
100000 of our laboring men were idle and two
out of 10000 more were on reduced wages, or re-
duced time, or both. Our exports had run
down to only $500, 900, 900 and the deposits in
the banks had been reduced to only $197 ,0OO, 900.
Failures in business had gone up $50 per cent
from 1000 under Harrison to 1900 under
Cleveland. Farm products would not bring
enough to pay for production. Farmers could
not pay the interest on their mortgages. Mer.
chants could not sell or buy. Factories were
closed, furnaces cold. mines shut down. All
this forced upon us by competition with cheap
foreign labor by free trade. F.,
Test the prophets of 1896 by their prophecy.
Every propecy of Bryan has utterly failed.
Not only have his prophecies failed to come
true, but the reverse of every one of the pro-
phecies he uttered is true. Whatever we may
think of Mr.. Bryan's candor, eloquence and
physical endurance, we cannot trust him as a
prophet, and that is what we must have just
now-a prophet We can trust.
Mckinley has kept every promise of his party
and every prophecy he uttered has turned to
history. Can any thoughtful business man or
salaried man or wage Garner hesitate as to
which of these prophets he can most safely fol.
low7 It is no longer a matter of speculation,
of uncertain calculations, or probabilities. It
has been reduced to a matter of fact.
These, remember, are not the
u%tterances of a politician, but of
a great churchmah who seldom
discusses political questions but
when he does, weighs his words
carefully; hence in the foregoing
there cannot be found a single
statement that is not as true as
the gospel. After reading them
how can any sensible American
walk up to the polls and vote for
the false prophet, William j.
Bryan.

Vote for Thos. Lonnevik for
county treasurer. He received his
nomination fairly and honorably
He has been a resident of Ramsey

man, an expert accountant, and in
every way we'll qualifed to perform
the important duties of the Office.

Outside of all this the single fact
that he is the regularly nominated
Republican candidate should be
sufficient to secure the vote Of
every man who believes in honor
and decency in politics,
In commenting on an article
dealing with the army canteen
question, contributed to. Its
columns by Major Frame, of Graf
ton, the St. Thomas Tones says:
From this communication it wflhbe seen that
Maj. Frank White, Republican nominee for
governor, has given a practical demonstration
of his ideas on the enforcement of prohibition
by assisting in making nightly raids ON
the liquor and 'beno'' joints of Manila, while
an officer of the First North Dakota Volunteers.
This communication conclusively, proves that
many statements have been made d this com.
munity by third party prohibitionists that are
false and misleading.

WOULD MEAN RUIN.

NOtI1luS Cdu Uc u1OI0 C0IGdlu
than that the election of William
j. Bryan to the presidency next
Tuesday would be a crushing blow
to prosperity in the United States.
Every great business interest is
arrayed against him, not because
they r managed by Republicans,
but because the business men of
the country fear him. They are
afraid that he would inaugurate a
policy that would unsettle values,
destroy public confidence, cripple
trade, commerce and manufactur-
ing.
This being the case-and no one
can deny tit must be conceded
by the most obstinate supporters
Of Mr.. Bryan that his defeat at the
polls is demanded by the public
and private interests of the people.
The country is prosperous now,
and will continue so if the Repub-
lican party triumphs. Of this there
is no doubt. Elect Mr.. Bryan,
however, anda change forthe worse
will Immediately ensue. It cannot
be otherwise, for his elevation to the
presidency means the destruction
Of all business confidence, and that
means the CURLING Of enterprise.
The mills and manufactures would
to a great extent either close down
or limit their output. and the in
evitable consequence must be the
precipitation of another hard time
era.
There is no getting away from
this conclusion. The attitude of
the business interests in the cam
paign is IN unerring index of what
will happen in case of the defeat of
William Mckinley by a mere
speculative theorist like William j.
Bryan. The price of all farm pro-
ducts would inevitably fall, and
more especially that of flax, which
is controlled almost wholly by the
demands resulting from the build
ing boom that Mckinley prosperity
has brought about.
How, then, can any intelligent
and conservative citizen of Ramsey
county who is concerned about his
own welfare and that of his neigh
bors, go to the polls and vote for
the candidate of a pnrty, the
triumph of which means hard
times for all and ruin for thou
sands? That many will do this
cannot be doubted; but to deter
mine the motives by which they
will be actuated is a subject for in
vestigation by philosophers.
Happily, however, the indica-
tions are that Mr. Bryan will come
very far from being elected. Heis
likely to suffer a defeat so crushing
that it will forever put an end to
his existence as a political factor
of Importance, and nothing to be
more desired could possibly hap
pen.

The citizen who really holds the
cause of prohibition dear can
make no greater mistake than to
vote against a Republican
nominee. The triumph Of the
Democratic party in North Da-

blind piggers' paradise, if it did
not result in the final overthrow
of the prohibition law.

Before casting your ballot, see
that it reads for Thomas F. Mar
