cal question, and has been made so,
not by Gov. Van SAINT, but by the
Northern Securities Company itself,
which has made Mr. Rosing it's can

ton for the voter to decide is not if

room for the work to be done, and
they engaged most of the upper floor

since then money has been used by
the Democrats with ,liberality never
before known in Minnesota politics.
Newspapers have been subsidized, Re-
publican newspapers have been paid

vertising. Two Republican dailies
were each offered $3.50 to publish Mr..

R Contest Present

It is time the people of Minnesota
knew who the real contestants are in
this state campaign. On the ballots
they will find the names of IS. r. Van
SAINT, Republican," and, 81. A. Rosing,
Democrat candidates for governor.
But they are not the actual contest
ants, and it Is time this fact was
brought right home to the citizens of
this great state. The real contest to
be settled November 18th is not be-
tween Mr.. Van SAINT and Mr.. Rosing,
1t Is not even between the Republican
party and the Democratic party. it is
between the people Of Minnesota and
the Northern Securities Company Of
New Jersey. The issue to be settled
is whether the people of this state are
TO run their own affairs or whether
they are to be managed by this New
Jersey corporations; whether the peo-
pie OF this state shall say who shall be
their governor or whether the North
ern Securities Company shall name
him. This is said not haphazard nor
Tor political effect, but advisedly and
the facts show the truth Of the state
ment.
MIR. Rosing, in his opening address,
said OF the anti-merger suits brought
at the request of Gov. Van SAINT,
that while the governor had done
what was right, that this merger ques-
ton was row in the courts and was
not a political issue; that the court
would take care Of it and that further
agitation of the matter would waste
time. At that time it looked as though

even tramps. These things are but a

THE TWO CHAMPIONS Al
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND GOV.
VAN SAM. H. .=.~
These TWO Men Stand for the Same
? PrineipIes-The People Before :.
'-g1,. the Trusts.

Every voter who admires President
Roosevelt should vote for Gov. Van
SAINT. These two men stand for the
same principles in public life, and this
fight In Minnesota now being waged by
the trusts against Gov. Van SAINT is but
the forerunnerSof the fight to be made
against President Roosevelt. When
the governor began the now-famous
merger suits, he aroused the bitter op-
position of that great combination Of
wealth, and when President Roose-
welt, at the request of the governor,
had the suit brought under the Sher-
man act. that hatred and opposition
descended to him. Baked in its gi-
gantic scheme Of stock-jobbing, Wall
street vowed vengeance on both of
them. Railroad presidents and Wall
street magnates freely made the threat
in Washington that they would defeat
both President Roosevelt and Gov. Van
SAINT for reelection They will doubt
less now be joined in the effort by the
coal barOns. It is well known that the
merger railroads made every effort to
prevent Gov. Van SAINTS denomination.
Utterly failing of even getting a can
djdate against him in the Republican
party, they determined to beat him at
the polls, if money could do it The
money has been forthcoming and is
being freely spent; but if money can
beat Gov. Van SAINT, money without
limit will be used to corrupt and de.
bauch the voters Of this entire country
to defeat President Roosevelt.
Voters Of Minnesota, there is more
in this campaign than the mere re-
election Of Coy. Van SAINT. Here is
an opportunity to rebuke the AFRO
gance Of wealth, and to teach it that
Minnesota stands with President
Roosevelt and s. r. Van SAINT and
against combined wealth.

roads. II this is true why did the rail-
roads move heaven and earth and
pour out their money to defeat the
legislature and SO keep the people
from a chance to vote upon it?
The leading Democratic speaker IN
the state. in an address at St. Paul,
! has sought to belittle the anti-merger
suits, calling them buster and assert
ing that there was not then a single
case pending in the court on this sub
ject. Yet at that time three cases
were actually pending and being
pushed against this merger company,
and testimony in one Of them was be-
ing taken in New York city. Which
side, let us ask, is shown to be inter-
ested in pushing and which in killing
these merger suits? If the people
could be convinced that not a suit
was really pending, how easy it would
be if Mr.. Rosing were accidentally
elected governor for him to quietly
drop the Minnesota case, the one most
feared by the merged railroads..
Is, then, the merger out of politics1
Which candidate is the merger SUD-
porting? Which candidate is it op-
posing?
1t is time. we say. that the people
knew that the merger railroads are
supporting Mr.. Rosing by every means
in their power and opposing Gov. Van
SAINT. It is time that it was known
that the contest is between the people
and the merged roaos, and that vote
against Gov. Van SAINT is not so much
a vote for MI. ROs1ng as for the North
ern Securities Company, Of New Jer.

Again, every source from which the
Republicans might get active support
in the campaign has been cut off
wherever these railroad interests
have had the necessary influence.
Every Republican speaker, every Re
publican committeeman and worker

has paid his fare. Gov. Van SAINT him
