Freeborn county, where Mr.. Knatvold
has lived ever since. He has been
identified with the peoples party since
it's organizations, and was an active
Alliance man before that. He has at
many times been drafted as candi-
date on the county ticket, and in 1890
came within So votes of carrying the
county, although it is overwhelming
ly republican. He served as Chief
Deputy Grain Inspector under Lind 9
administration. He is now serving
his second term as president of the
city council of Albert Lea. He has a
wide acquaintance in the southern
part of the state, and his name on the
ticket will strengthen it materially
there.

glad to see so many Of the cd ardent
fusionists now recognizing that there
was no ground on which to fuse.
Frue, there was a few vacant places.
There are some who think that the
only thing necessary in order to re-
form things is to beat the republican
party, without stopping to think what
we would put in place of it. For my
part, if the plutes have got to rule
this country don't care a snap un-
der what parry name they perform
their tricks. [ havn't heard of any
microscope strong enough to show any
difference between Cleveland and
Hanna. The two parties could make
an even swap on them any time with
out either being the loser. Cleveland
can use longer words to hide his plut-
ocratic ideas with than Hanna can;
but when you get at the true meaning
of the remarks of either one of them it
means hat the rights of property are
Of paramount Importance and must be
preserved, no matter how it goes with
the people.
l was also mighty tickled to meet
many who had stayed away from our
meetings since fusion became the fash
ion. They were there in goodly num-
bers and with all the old-time enthusi-
asm. And the best of it was they
didn't seem the least bit disposed to
throw brickbats at those of us who
had differed with them on the policies
OF the party in the past. They were
broad-minded enou gh to see that it
had been a difference on policy, not
on principle. We shook hands and
agreed to let bygones be >bygones and
only look to the future. Those who
were there brought word from many
others of the old guard that they
would be with us if we took an indie
pendent stand, but did not feel like
coming out until we had taken our
stand.
There amt no more fusionists or
mid-roaders now; we are all >>plain
populists without any frills to the
name. We won't waste any more time
making faces at each other and cal
ling each other names. We are 60.

Stuart sat silent, looking out over the
beautiful valley. The town looked very
pretty in its setting of hills and pines.
His fathers house was the most con-
spicuous residence to be seen. From
where the two men sat.it looked pala-
tial. Down at the other end of the
town among the miners houses Stuart
could distinguish Eric's home, little
two story cottage, not different from q
hundred others. He did good deal
of hard thinking in few minutes;
then he said:
Eric, yoL began the talk about the
difference between us. Do you want to
break off anything?' Is that your in
tention?'
Eric for the first time grew flushed
beneath his dark bronzed face. no.,
he said. II simply wished to state the
conditions under which we now live.

ward you and cannot be-"

bear the responsibility which must al

ed and the Nealthy?" Eric paused on
the crest of a wave Of speech that
seemed about to break over all his self
control.

Stuart took one step toward Eric, and
the two young men confronted each
other. Suddenly Eric turned on his
heel and without word walked down
the hill. For a moment Stuart seemed
on the point of going after him or call
ing out for him to stop, but the next
moment he stepped back to the stone
and sat down. When Eric had disap-
peared behind clump Of trees. Stuart
rose and went toward home by another

Stuart rose, and conflict of feelings
rose with him. What his father had
just said moved him one way, the aft

He wanted to ask his father one Ques-

J +. C.. Gibbs.

r. C. Gibbs, our candidate for Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioner,
is native Minnesotan, having been
born in Dakota county in 1856. In
1885 he moved to Watervil!e, LIE Sueur
county, where he was engaged in the
general merchandise business for
eleven years. He is now the publisher
and editor of the Waterville Gazette.
He has served as alderman of Water
vile many terms and is now serving
his third term as mayor of that town.
He was a member of the state Dairy
and F God Commission for two years.
Mr.. Gibbs has never voted an old
party ticket, having allied himself
with some OF the reform organizations
ever since he reached his majority.
From 1896 to 1898 he was state chair
man of the peoples party. He is
thoroughly posted on the questions of
the day, especially on the transportH-
tion problems, and the people will
make no mistake if they elect him as
a member of the commission.

show of life. We got head, and a
good one too.
Say, but felt good enough to turn
double somersault when I heard that
Tom Meighen had consented to run.
Tom Amt politician; he is a patri-
OF. You couldn't pull that man away
from the path of duty as he sees it if
you hitched double team of Mis-
souri, mules to him. He amt no great
orator: in fact he amt in it at all
with lots of gab-slingers in any party.
But when he says athing you can bet
your bottom dollar he means it and
has carefully studied the matter until
he feels he is right. So we'll known is
this that in all wrapgles that used to
occur between the hot-heads in the old
Alliance days and later in the peo-
pies party none of them ever qua<reled
with Tom Meighen. When he an
nounced his stand some of them would
feel sorry he didn't side in with them,
but they never questioned his honesty.
That is the kind of man to lead in a
fight for principle.
'You have noprospect of winning,
and are therefore throwing away your
votes, - someone told me the other
day. I can't see it that way. I aon-
slider the right of voting a sacred
trust, to be used IN furtherine the
cause that think is right. If 1 do
that fulfill my duty as citizen, and
1 don't throw my vote away when 1 do
my duty. If the fate of the state of
Minnesota hung on the election of
either Van sant>or Rostng it would
be my duty to make choice between
them. But as it is, if I had to vote
for one of them and knew that nv
vote would be the decisive one, I
should toss up penny to see which
one to vote for.
No Stree; you can't fool us by any
such argument. If you want to rea-
son with a~pop you will have to come
down to discussing the principles of
the party. I'VE are going to talk gov
eminent ownership of public utilities,
government money, tax reform and d.
rect legislation, and it you want to
talk politics with US you had better
post up on those subjects
The fellows that invested in grape
to wear at the funeral of the peoples
party will have to dispose of it at a

in the face and repeated his mo. But

Il! What change has there been in

indignantly.
You have seen the world. What can

You don't need to be; Eric. You

Stuart hesitated for just the word,

could not be otherwise. Here am ad-

mean to say, Eric. that friendship true

of birth or the circumstance of wealth
or difference in surroundings? Have

Yes" replied Eric slowly. 1T can
exist, but it is in one sense an unnat,l-
raj existence. You represent capital;
represent labor. Take the present sit
uation Of the strike. l believe as much
as l believe anything that it is right
and even religious that we do as we do.
Deep in your heart you condemn US for
