The TWO CHAMPIONS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND GOV.
.... VAN SAINT.
These Two Men Stand for the Same
PrincipIes-The People Before
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 forerunner of 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 gil
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 viii doubt
less now be joined in the effort by the
ccal 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
didate 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
Eeing 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 Gov. Van SAINT Here is
an opportunity to Tebnke the arro
gance of wealth. and to teach it that
Minnesota stands with President
Roosevelt and s. r. Van saut aud

FALSE STATEMENTS.
JAMES J, HILLS ORGAN AGAIN
GRINDING.
Desperate Campaign Against the Rail-
road Gross Earnings Tax
Being Waged.

The ST. Paul Globe, owned by James
]. Hill and operated in the interests
of the Democratic state ticket, has
opened desperate campaign for the
defeat of the railroad gross earnings
bill.
The bill was passed by the legislat-
ure of 1901, in spite of a powerful rail-
read lobby, and is submitted to the
people at the coming election. It In
creases the gross earnings tax on rail-
roads from 8 to 4 per cent.
Now the organ of the Great North
eIn, which made such strenuous eff
forts to defeat the bill, says the amend
ment, If adopted, will save the Great
Northern money.
The situation would be farcical were
it not evident that the Globe is making
a desperate effort to beat the bill By
misleading the voters.
The opening article is tissue OF
mis-statements from start to finish,
most of them apparent on their face.
The Great Northern has shrewd at
tcrneys and good bookkeepers, and
when the bill was introduced it was
carefully ana1yzed. The Great North
ern knew what was in the bill then as
well as ! it does now. Yet its lobby
fought the bill before the legislature;
and its newspaper now opposes it be-
fore the people.
The Democratic campaign ID the
state is inevitably connected with the
campaign against the gross earnings
bill. The Globe has turned over both
its editorial and ita news columns to
the Democratic state committee, who
is using them for all 1t Is worth. The
Globes attack on the bill Is evidently
made with the knowledge Of the Dem
ocratic committee. and tips 1t or to
the public that the Great Northern In
duence is behind the campa1gn against
Gov Vm Sant Minneapolis Journal.

boat. The boats that he is interested
In belong to company organized In
Iowa, a great many years ago by Gov.
Van SAINTS father, who lived in that
state and died there but few months
ago, and being an Iowa company OF
course it pays its taxes there. But
GOV. Van SAINTS own personal tax is
very large, larger than some men who
are supposed to be millionaires. The
Globe has also attacked Mr.. Ray
Jones, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, and Mr.. Jacobson, who for
years has fought the battles of the
people in the legislature, because he
is supporting Mr.. Van SAINT. It has
ridiculed the proposed tax code, aimed
at concealed wealth. and has in one
day had as many as four leading edi-
torlals abusive of Republicans. No
other newspaper in the state on either
side has shown one-tenth of the ac-
tlvity in this campaign that the Globe
has. Who owns the st. Paul Globe?
Mr.. James ]. Hill, president Of the
Great Northern Railway Company and
OF the Northern Securities Company.
The Globe, moreover, has openly op-
posed the constitutional amendment
for the increase Of the railway gross
earnings tax, and it is significant that
the Democrats receiving financial sup
port for their campaign wholly from
the railroads has made no effort to
bring this amendment favorably to
the attention of the people. Is not
this part of the bargain, a payment by
the Democrats for tie railroad money
to run their campaign? The Globe
claims that this amendment will re-
duce, not increase. the tax on rail.

The Dispatch can only regard with

The proposed amendment has the
further merit of substituting certainty
for uncertainty, simplicity for COM

and opportunity for suppression OF
facts and Juggling with accounts By
which the companies might escape tax

AS we have said. there is no question
as 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 a 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.
There are 2.7a4 voting precincts in
Minnesota. If but ten voters in each
precinct stay away from the polls,
that will mean 27.240 votes less tor

as they have the money to take the
voters to the polls. Every stay-at-

He cannot afford to lose them and you
cannot afford to have him lose them.
The following table of the Repub-
lean vote in 1898 an ''off year" and
900 presidential year shows a loss
OF twenty votes to the precinct or

Gov. Van SAINT lose that this year.
Let us urge you not only to go to the
Polls yourself. but to take your neigh

Gov. Van SAINT is recognized by Ia
Dor as one of the strongest most sin
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
lower 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
tiCn:
"Of all the triumphs of our Amer
ican civilization, there are none to
compare with the advanced position Of
the laboring classes and no one thing

there will you find not only wealthy

Minnesota takes a front rank
among states in labor legislation. To
our bureau of labor are we indebted
for many wise laws. Upon our statute
books you will find enactments guar
anteeing to wage earners the right to

DANGER LIES IN
OVER-CONFIDENCE
Only One Thing Gov. Van SAINT Has to Fea in COM
ing Election Is That Too Many Friendly Vot-
ers May Stay at Home.
This Is the Peoples 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 a feeling that he does
not need votes.
There is always light vote in the
years when there is not presidential
election, in the "off 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.

to you plainly the issues that have
come up in this campaign. 1t is to

A Protest against Uncle TOMS Cabin.
The Lexington, KY, Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, has sent
petition to the manager OF the Lexington
Opera House, asking that the play "Un.

at that theatre. The chapter gives as
reasons that the best citizens and old
families living in and about Lexington
were once slave owners, that the incl
dents of "UncIe Toms Cabin" are not
typical of slave life in the South but of
isolated cases; that the production and
its advertisement with bloodhounds and
pictures OF an old negro in chains and a
slave owner with whip in hand presents
a false idea of the history of the times to
the children of the city and are in disre-
pect to Southern citizens. The petition
is signed by four prominent women OF
the chapter and is Endorsed UNANIMOUSLY
by the members. 1t has created a sensa
