The anti-Van SAINT element in the
republican party has thrown up the
sponge as far as attempting to- beat
him in the convention is concerned,
but they have evidently not given up
the hope of ultimately defeating him.
The St. Peter Free Press asks this
question:: 'How can the republicans
expect to win when they openly admit
that they intend to nominate one of
their weakest men in the party?" To
this the Litch6eld News Ledger gives
the following significant answer:
my dear Free Press man the Led
ger will answer the above with little
fable based on truth. Once there was
a great man asked by his party to
save it from itself. He, seeing the err
ror of it ways, wisely fell in lake
and got drowned for time. When
ever the leaders of a party undertake
to force things something of that kind
happens! and perhaps this year the
lakes will be so full, of drowning
statesmen that those same leaders will
be brought to their senses.'

The republican papers have changed
tune in regard to the cruelties prac-
ticed by American soldiers in the
Philippines by command of the su.
perior officers: At first they denied
the stories in toto as the baseless
ISLANDERS of traitors. When evidence
of the truth of the accusations became
so strong that denial was useless the
said papers loudly demanded an in
vestigation and punishment for the
guilty ones. Then came secretary
Roots defence of the orders of Gen.
Smith, and the tune changed again.
Now the fortunes inflicted by the sold
iers are regarded as excusable be-
cause the Filipinos are a barbarous
people and don't follow the rules of
civilized warfare. That is, when we
come in contact with barbarians we
must descend to their level. A glori-
Gus doctrine this to be preached by a
country that considers itself in the
vanguard of civilization. wiz the
American people for partisan reasons
submit to be thus placed on a level
with savages?

The Red Wing Argus sounds the
slogan of the ''get-together-and-get-
the-ofices" democracy: "There must
be no more divisions of city, county
and state interests. 1t must be thor
oughly and entirely a Democratic
fight for state, city and county. Let
us save ourselves. We know we have
been weakened of late. There has
not been thoroughly consistent Dem
ocratic fight in Minnesota for many
years. Now is the time to begin it.
Go after everything, give no quarter,
fight to the finish. Democrats of Min
nesota-old Democrats, young Demo-
Gratis, Jeffersonian Democrats, Lin
coin Democrats, Jackson Democrats,
silver Democrats, Bourbon Demo-
Gratis, Bryan Democrats, John Lind
Democrats, Water, Cure Democrats
all Democratse get together and stick
together
Isn't that glorious conglomeration
to get together on the platform of
"going for everything?" It may be
possible for office-seekers to do it, but
we have grave doubts about their be-
ing able to get the rank and file of the
people to go on it.

the PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary law gives the people
the right to select their own candi-
dates. The politicians in search of a
job will have to apply to the people
direct, instead of seeking their nomi-
nation from a small clique of profess
sional delegates ruled by boss. 1t
depends on the people whether the new
system shall be success or a failure.
If the people are really fit for self
government they will realize that the
primary election is just as important
as the regular election, and that there
fore they should be sure to attend the
former if they want to have a chance
to vote for their favorites at the latter.
But in order to be able to make a
good choice it is necessary that the
voter suspend Judgment until he knows
who the candidates will be. The coun-
try will be overrun with candida
trying to get ahead of each other in
getting pledges of support. If you
wish to exercise your right of choice
as an Independent citizen should, don It
promise thu first man that tackles you
for your vote. Tell him that you will
wait till you know who the candidates
will be and then select the one you
think most fit for the position. Don,
vote for man simply because he
lives in your neighborhood, if you
think some one else would make a bet
ter officer. Don't vote for man
because some one of the old leaders
in your neighborhood tells you to do
it. The old politicians know the old
''regulars' at the conventions, and
will endeavor by some means or other
to get them to influence you. Look
over the field carefully and then make
up your mind whom to vote for. II
you have brains use them; if you have
not brains enough to decide for your
self, don't let any one else do it for
you-stay at home and you will be
sure you don't vote wrong. It is the
man who thinks and acts for himself,
unintluenced by party bosses, that can
make this system q success. # you
feel that you belong to that class, act
accordingly, and you will help to re-
legate the party boss 70 the resr and

EASY on the TRUST.

The Sherman antitrust law fixes q
penalty of both fine and imprisonment
for violators Of the law. Why did
not the encouragement bring crimi-
nal suits against the trusts that he is
so ostentatiously proceeding against?
That wouldn't do, don't you know.
Such things are for common violators
OF law, such as workingmen striking
for living wages. The idea of send
ing member of the beef or steel trust
to prison is entirely repugnant to lat
ter-day republican principles. So the
farce-comedy takes the form of an in
junction suit to break up the combine.
If the prosecution proves to the salts
faction of the court that combine ex-
lists the injunction may be issued-and
the trust will have to be little more
secret in it's methods Of freezing out
competition both in the purchase of
stock and sale of meats. This may
cause some slight inconvenience to the
trust, and may force it to charge a
little more for its goods in order to
pay for the extra trouble. The rea-
son for choosing this line of action
against the trust is two-fold; the peo-
pie who suffer from the exactions OF
the trust have the right of voting,
consequently something must be done
to appease them; but the trust has the
power OF contributing literally to the
campaign fund, therefore nothing
serious must be done to it. AS it is
far easier to fool the people than to
perform that feat with the trust the
prosecution did not have very diff
cult choice to make.

the DEMOCRATIC BATTLEcRy.

The democratic battlecry nowadays
is "Get together. - 1t is this cry that
has caused the populists to adopt the
battlecry, "Stand apart" The only
reason they had for fusion with the
democrats was that the latter did not
get together. The populists and the
Bryan democrats could get together
without sacrificing principle, because
on the vital questions of the hour they
were agreed. The Bryan democracy
and the Cleveland democracy cannot
get together without such q sacrifice
on the part of one element. The Cleve-
landites have shown in two campaigns
that they will not surrender. To be
sure, Bryan is fighting manful]y
against such giving up of principle,
but his cohorts are thinning. He un-
doubtedly has the majority of the peo-
pie in the party with him, but the poll
ticians and the newspapers are against
him, and they will control the conven-
ton.
We can see the effects of this right
here in Minnesota. There are q few,
if any, Democratic papers that dare
mention Bryan favorably now. The
edict has gone forth from the leading
politicians that the party must "get
together" The new official organ of
democracy in this state, the Red Wing
Argus, published last week an article
signed by the nom de plume "Don
Fulano," endorsed by the editor. He
wants the declaration of independence to
be made the only plank in the demo-
cratic platform, and the fight made on
imperialism. This would suit the
Cleveland wing of the party admira-
bly,. It would mean the giving up of
all but one of the planks in the Bryan
platform. The writer says: "Bryan,
Cleveland, Hill, all are good dem
ocrats.' That is, q man can be a
democrat and believe in corporation
control of the money affairs of the ma
ton, or he can advocate government
issue of money; he can believe in the
gold standard or in free silver; he can
believe in upholding the corporations
in their fight against the laborer by
means of injunctions and even the use
of the regular army, or he can be
friend of the laborer, he can believe
in protective tariff, or he can be an
ardent free trader. In short he need
have no idea about how this country
should be governed; all he needs is to
believe that this country should not
govern any other land or people.
What would such a government amount
to? 1t would be chaos, more dan
gerous than the most concentrated
form of government, and it would soon
fall to pieces from sheer lack of CO.
herent force.
The peoples party believes with the
democrats that this country should
not exercise despotic rule over unwill-
ing dependencies. But it also believes
that the government should govern
this country. and govern it right,
govern it in the interest of the great
mass of the people instead of in favor
of few. All who believe with them
on these questions are welcome to
''get together' with the populists, and
we believe that when the democratic
politicians have succeeded in eliminat-
ing Organism from their platform
there will be hosts of honest and in
telligent democrats that will Join the
peoples party.
