WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE - 1902

before been considered. President Roosevelt
Is doing what he believes to be his duty in a
straightforward, fearless manner. The United
States has taken Cuba under her protection
and stands before the world as guarantor for
her welfare. Such being the case it is our
duty to aid her in granting the reciprocal
privileges she asks and OF which 1t Is known
she stands in absolute need.
John Kelley, Chairman Rock County Contra!
Committee believe that President Roosevelt
is right and shall most certainly support the
stand he has taken. / cannot see how grant
ing Cuba reciprocity can work injury to the
sugar interests 4 Of this country, when such
an arrangement will only place Cuba on an
equal footing with the bounty paid sugar pro-
ducers of Germany, Austria and France II
seems to me that the only difference would be
that we would buy more sugar from Cuba and
less from those countries, In other words,
it would be furnishing market for Cuban
sugar to our own advantage, and at the ex-
pense Of Germany, France and Austria. This
for the commercial side. AS to our moral
obligation there can be no question. Reel
procity is Cuba's due.
o. E. Ferguson. Clerk OF District Court
President Roosevelt has taken the only posi-
ton possible consistent with duty.
NJ. Weber, most certainly lndorse Presi-
dent Roosevet's position. While I do not
believe that it is right for us to criticize our
representatives in congress, as they have bet
ter facilities for studying these questions
than we do, still I believe that the president
has equally as good opportunities for this
study as they have, and that he Ia fully as
clear and logical a reasoner.9 Our representa-
tives in congress necessarily judge from a
sectional viewpoint, while the president must
reach his conclusions. from the national point
of view, and so judge that which is best for
all. For these reasons believe that the
president Is right. N -.5 A

logical sequence of the war. We owe it to
Cuba because of our moral obligation, and
we owe 1t to Cuba because OF trade oppor-
tunities and necessities. &
L. S. Briggs, Clerk of Court-The presi-
dent is right. He evidently does not allow
duty to interfere with few unfounded sus-
picions. Congress should act and grant Cuba
reasonable trade concessions.
John W. Goulding, Village Recorder have
great faith in the president and think him
right His attitude toward Cuba Is the proper
one.
E. E. Whitney, County Auditor-The presi-
dent has taken the proper course. We have
given Cuba liberty and enabled her to estab-
lish republic and why refuse her the hand
of reciprocity?
G. H. Chadbourne, Independent Democrat
President Roosevelt is taking the proper
course and Is working for the interests Of the
great majority of the people. No president
since Lincoln has, to my mind, come so near
to the people. He is acting for the people
in way no president has done for long
time.

against the president or the senators. Here
are other views: ..-r. -,-s = ..a.. .-. r
w. H. Putnam--I am with the president J

NEW ULM

The action of the Minnesota delegation In
congress in opposing President Roosevelt on
the Cuban question is severely condemned
by the republicans of this city and county.
Brown county will stand by the president.
whose almost every official act has met with
the highest approval. 1t is held that the
reduction Of the tariff sugar will not SO
greatly cheaper sugar that it will force out
the beet growers, and even If it should there
is greater justice in legislating for the mil
lions Of consumers than for indirectly taxing
all for the benefit Of the few. Among those
seen were S. D. Peterson, Colonel Joseph
Bobleter A. W. Bingham, John Larson, clerk
of the court; Louis Vogel, county auditor;
Charles Silverson, president Eagle Mill COM
pany; Dr. L. A.. Gebhardt and DR.. O. G..
Stricken.
Dr.. O. c. Stricken says that he is strong
ly in favor of the position taken by the
president, and as far as he is able to see,
believes that his counsel is safe and that ne
will do the best thing possible
Charles silverson, who has to do with bust
ness both international and Interstate, says
that he is with Roosevelt, whose Cuban
reciprocity policy is sound doctrine. He is
surprised at the action of the state delega-
ton. and finds no grounds on which to ex-
cuse their action. He believes that no man
since Lincoln has been safer one to follow
than Roosevelt and upholds him in every
particular.
Representative Peterson says that he mas
implicit faith in the president, and believes
that he is actuated by pure motives and that
his policy will prove the best for the country.
He cannot understand how the delegation
from this state should cast themselves on
the other side of the question.

reciprocity message, refused. as rule, to

as follows: L..

Interviews with republicans here indicate
a variety of opinions, as it is looked upon as
party question that requires judicious hand
ling There are three opinions expressed.
There are those who indorse the position
taken ty the insurgents while others think
they are wrong and stand by the president,
while still others advocate taking all tariff
from sugar from all countries and leaving the
markets open to Germany, France, Cuba and
the entire world. Those favoring the 20 or
moro per cent reduction for Cuba advocate
the plan with a view to aiding the people of
the island but not in. the interest of the sugar
trust, while those indorsing the insurgents
claim the trust will be the chief beneficiary
