In His First Message to the Legislature He Recon-
mended That the Laborer Should Be Pro-
J. tected by Legislation.
Union Labor Was Recognized When He Appointed
Member of the Union to the Head of the
Bureau of Labor.

Gov. Van SAINT is recognized by Ia
Dor as one of the strongest most sim
cere and earnest friends it has ever
had in this state. He never has
missed an opportunity in his public or
private life to do everything in his
power to help the laborer, and organ
lied labor has always had recognition
at his hands.
Almost his first act as governor was
to include in his first message to the
legislature the following recommends

DANGER LIES IN :
OVER-CONFIDENCE
Only One Thing Gov Van SAINT Has to Fear i'm Com
ing Election Is That Too Many Friendly Vot-
ers May Stay at Home
This Is the People s Fight and Every Man Must Do
His Share to Ensure a Sweeping Victory for
the Antitrust Forces

Gov. Van SAINT has but one thing to
fear in the coming election. That one
thing Is that two many voters who
wish to see him reelected will not go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote.
There is no question but that his acts
as governor are approved by the peo-
pie. They want him reelected, but
such has been the confidence that he
would have an overwhelming major
ity, that there is feeling that he does
not need votes.
There is always a light vote in the
years when there is not a presidential
election, in the loft years" as they are
called. This is an "off year" and
there is danger that the voters, al
though friendly to Gov. Van SAINT, will
not take the trouble to go to the polls.
This supplement is published to show
to you plainly the issues that have
come up In this campaign. It is to
show you the tremendous power Of
combined wealth that Gov. Van SAINT
is facing. The power Of money in any

AS we have said, there is no question
rs to where the sympathies of the
people are, they are with Gov. Van
SAINT, and he needs the vote Of every
friend he has in Minnesota. He needs
it not only that he may be elected, but
that he may have such majority that
the great railroad interests and trusts
will not again try to dominate the
politics Of Minnesota and dictate to its
people who they shall elect as gov
ernor. This is your fight, and you
should see to it that you are at the
polls next Tuesday and cast your bal
lots. i.

Minnesota. II but ten voters in each

The consideration with which the
late GeDeral Assembly treated the bust
ness irterests Of the State is already be-
ginning to bear fruit. The repeal OF
the double liability statute and the
authorization of vote on the constitu-
tional amendment giving cities and
towns home rule have been particularly
well received. not to mention the defeat
of the Texas anti trust law and other
bills hostile 10 capital. In consequence
OF the good impression thus made,

featuring concern is already preparing

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRES
CALLED on TO ANSWER.
(From .layfield Messenger.

II any candidate was the cause of
such a snap primary he should be
rOundly condemned and will be when
the facts are known.
To see the Democratic voters Of the
district it will be necessary for each
candidate to see on an average OF 5l5
voters each day between now and the
day of the primary. which, of course is
an utter impossibility.
Mr.. Grassland are you guilty of in
fluencing the committee 10 call The
primary at time when the voters are
busiest?
Mr.. Greenup did you ask the COM
mittee t. call such a snap primary at
such az early and inconvenient time
for the Democrats of the district 2
Mr. James did you in any way try to
influence the committee or manipulate
its action 10 prevent the calling of the
primary at time IN the summer that
would have been most convenient for
the farming people 10 go out and aid in
the nomination of Democratic candi-
date for Congress-.
Gentlemen, speak ont on this question
if any or all of you are guilty then you
should be condemned by the people.
If you are not, and the blame rests on
the committee for calling the primary
contrary TO the will and wishes of the
candidates aud the people. then it is
your duty to call the committee to
gether and pnt the primary off at least
two months longer.
Let the candidates speak out and let
the people speak out and last but not
least let the committee be heard from.
