JOHN LIND FOR SPEAKER.

The election Of Ex-Governor Lind for
Congress is foregone conclusion. The
only thing in doubt is the size of his
majority over Loren Fletcher in this
city and county. So confident are the
Democrats Of his election next Tues
day that they are already mentioning
him for Speaker of the next House Of
Representatives which will have a
Democratic majority of 25 to 80 on a
conservative estimate.
| No better man could be selected for
Henderson's successor than John Lind
He is Intellectually the superior of the
Hawkeye statesman, and from his ex.
perience in Congress for six years he
understands the rules of parliament
airy debate which govern that body II
the transaction of business. Under his
speakership, and with Democratic
majority, his influence will be bene-
ficially felt and the demands of the
peoples representatives will receive a
courteous nearing.
On reciprocity with Cuba he will be
In accord with President Roosevelt,
and on the trust question he will en-
terrain contrary views from his Re-
publican predecessor in the chair who
thinks that the tariff schedules in the
Dingley bill should remain unchanged
during secula seculorum.
The American people, without refer
ence to party, are up III arms against
the voracious trusts which charge
higher prices on their commodities at
home than abroad. In order that the
prices Of trust-made articles shall be
reduced, the tariff must be removed
from all goods controlled by the
trusts. AS James A. Peterson said in
his speech against Loren Fletcher:
mo tariff can be justified that can be
used to eXtort money from the con-
sumner. Just as soon as you have a
law that benefits the few, to the detri-
ment of the many, it cannot be sue
cessfully defended"
That is sound Democratic doctrine
from an honest Republican who
sought the nomination for Congress
against Loren Fletcher and was de-
feated by the corporate interests. Let
us quote again from Mr.. Peterson: Gas
far back as history records. the law of
supply and demand and Of competition
has always controlled prices, and it
seems strange that this law should
have been suspended" 1t has been

President Baer, Of the Reading rail-
road, said that "God in His infinite
wisdom" gave the coal barons OF
Pennsylvania Control of the business
interests of the country" He did not
claim that God put tariff Of G7 cents
a ton on their coal. 1t was a Repub-
lican congress did that in a "sneak-
ing, cowardly Manner" as Secretary
Moody said in his Madison speech
three weeks ago. The Minnesota Re-
publican congressman voted for that
tariff, and If reelected they will not
vote to take it off. Keep them at
home.

Hon. Peter McGovern, the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress in the
first Minnesota district, has made Il
splendid campaign and deserves the
support of all who admire integrity
and honesty in a public official. If
elected, Southern Minnesota will have
representative second to none. He
will poll a large Republican vot,
against Tawney, the chieftain of the
Minnesota insurgents who fought
the President in the interest of the
sugar trust.

A dispatch from London falsely ac-
cused Tim Healy Of voting with the
government against the Nationalist
party. The fact is that he denounced
the government in the bitterest sar-
casm and elected applause from the
Irish members. Though repudiated
by the Irish Parliamentary party and
though speaking independently of it.,
Tim Healy is host in himself and
upholds the cause of Ireland as SIREN
uously as William O'Brien and his col
leagues. Such men as Healy cannot
be snutfed out in public debate.

William Randolph Hearst, propri-
etor of the New York Journal, Chi
cago American and San Francisco Ok
aminer, is the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the 18th district Of
New York, and there is no doubt of
his election. With such men as
Hearst and Lind in the next Congress
popular rights will be protected from
the grasping trusts that dominate the
Republican party at the present time
The Irish-American Democrats Of
New York City and Minneapolis are
solid for these two champions of the
plain people.

Frank D. Larrabee, for attorney gen.
eral, and Sturgeon Odell, for secretary
of state, are two Democrats who are
worthy of the office they seek. They
are both able men who if elected will
discharge their duties faithfully and
we'll. Mr.. Larrabee is prominently
fitted for attorney general. He is con-
coded to be one of the best lawyers in
Minnesota. Honest, fearless and indie
pendent, he will make a splendid Of
fetal. Be sure to vote for him next
Tuesday.

George e. Jones, Of Rock county, the
famous young orator, is the candidate
for clerk of the supreme court on the
Democratic ticket. He demonstrated
his patriotism by enlisting in the
Spanish-American war, and is now a
law student in the State University of
Minnesota. He deserves recognition
from his fellow citizens and is entitled
to their votes. He possesses every
qualification for the office and is ambi-
tious to make a good record. Give
him Il chance.

The London Daily News has beer
telling some interesting stories of the
Adventures of the Boer generals ir
England. One of them is TO the effect
that when Mr.. Chamberlain and Gen.
De Wet were introduced, the colonial
secretary addressed the Boer general
as "Mr De Wet" General" corrected
De Wet. Mr.. Chamberlain repeated
the "Mr." whereupon De Wet re-
marked, sternly, General, or moth

to follow the example Of Lord Kitcli

of De Wet before the ubiquitous one
would shake hands.

The farmers Of the state will find It
to their interest to vote for Major J.
M. Bowler for railway and warehouse
commissioner. He is superior in every
respect to Charles F. Staples, the
present Republican incumbent. Major
Bowler is an old resident of Minnesota
and a veteran of the civil war. No
Democrat should vote for Staples be-
cause he is the most bitter political
partisan in the entire state. We know
whereof we speak.

For county auditor, VIM. H. Will
liams is the Democratic candidate.
He is well-known printer, person
ally popular and thoroughly compe-
tent to fill the place. A member of or.
ganized labor ever since he was vot-
er, he is entitled to the staunch sup.
port Of every union man in the city.
Mr.. Williams made the race for audi
tor two years ago, and though unsuc-
cessful, he polled heavy vote. A
vote for Williams is a vote for the
strongest candidate for auditor that
the Democracy has named for many
years.

William O'Brien asked the following
question in the British parliament but
the speaker ruled that it was not in

The Twin City Rapid Transit Com
pany, Of which the genial and diplo.
matte Tom Lowry is president, will
exert all it's influence next Tuesday in
re-electing Samuel r. Van SAINT for
governor. Republics may be migrate
full, but corporations are not. At a
meeting of the State Board of Equal
ization held in St. Paul on Oct 4, the
Winona navigator and tax dodger,
voted against the resolution introduced
by State Auditor Dunn to fix the as
sessed valuation Of the Twin City
railway company at 100000 or 80
per cent Of it's true value. Bob Dunn
thought it fair and right to tax public
service corporations for the privileges
they enjoy and said they are not pay
ing half taxes enough. His resolution
was voted down by II to and Van
SAINT went with the majority. No
further comment is necessary.

he publish it in book form. 1t

Ros,NG, LIND AND HAYNES.

1t is unnecessary for the Irish Stand
ard to consume much space In its last
issue before election OH the candidacy
of the three Democratic candidates
whose names appear at the head Of
this article. We have already referred
to them in these columns as men who
are cminently qualified to fill the re-
spective offices which they seek at the
hands of their fellow-citiZens on the
4th day of November. Every voter in
this state, county ana city knows
that If they are elected next Tuesday
the peoples interests will be faith
fully attended to for the next two
years. A few words only about each
of them and then we are done for this
campaign.
Leonard A. Rosing, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is certainly the
superior Of Capt Van SAINT, both ply
sically and intellectually. He is in tile
prime Of life and stands high in the
estimation of all good citizens as a
man of upright character and integ-
rity. During the campaign he has de-
veloped great strength as candidate
among all who have heard him discuss
both national and state issues, and ut
present writing there is every indica-
tion that he will be the next governor
of Minnesota. Advices from all parts
of the state are to the effect that the
people desire a change, and that L.. A..
Rosing will be elected by 10000 to 49,
600 over Samuel Van SAINT. He is sure
to carry Minneapolis and st. Paul by
a plurality that will nstonish his op-
ponent. He has the undivided support
of the Democratic party throughout
the state, and having been the private
secretary of Governor Lind he will poll
in this of year nearly as many votes
as the chief executive did in 1893
when he defeated Eustis by 2O,4OO.
Whatever reforms were effected dur
ing the Lind administration are partly
due to Mr.. Rosing who was consulted
on all occasions by the governor OH
the various questions under consider
alton. If elected Mr.. Rosing will try
to follow out the same policy as Gov.
ernor Lind who went out Of office with
the eulogies of Republican legisla.
ture ringing in his ears, and who
would have been reelected by $4,000
over Van SAINT had not Tom Lucas
run for governor under the name OF
'social democrat"
We have written elsewhere on this
page Of John Lind as n candidate for
Congress and bespeak the earnest at
tention of our readers to what is said
of him in preference to his Republi
can opponent All Democrats have Il
candidate in John Lind of whom they
may we'll feel proud. He will receive
a bigger majority for Congress next
Tuesday in this city and county than
he received for governor four years
ago.
The candidate for mayor Of Mime
apolis on the Democratic ticket is !,
man universally esteemed in all parts
Of the city. James G. Haynes is so
well known that it is needless to say
anything respecting him. The united
democracy stand at his back and
many Republicans will vote for his
election. He will get the greatest ma7
jority of any candidate for mayor in
recent years. His opponent realizes
Mr.. Haynes popularity with all
classes and like prudent man he did

are now in prison or awaiting sentence

Leslie M. Shaw said in his Minneap-
oils speech that the Democrats have no
issue in this campaign. Speaker Hen
derson of his own state could have told
him that the tariff is live issue. He
would not run against Boies in Iowa

question. He preferred to resign.

push and energy, capable in every
way, his election will prove not only
creditable to his constituents, but the
state at large will be gamer there

The settlement Of the great coal
strike is entirely due to President
Roosevelt who was grossly insulted
under the roof of the Executive Man
sion by Baron Baer the deputy of
the Almighty, rs he claims himself to
be. The Republican managers of the
national campaign did not contribute
in the slightest degree to end the
strike. The courageous occupant of
the White House brought about the
result without any aid from Attorney
General Knox, who had been in the
employ Of trusts before entering the
cabinet. Roosevelt is opposed to trusts
but the Republican managers are not.
Consequently, they can claim no cred
lit for ending the strike.

ARD. SATURDAY,, NOVEMBER 1, ]
Usher Of the Mortified News and a
man who knows the requirements of
his constituents whom he faithfully
tried to serve to the best of his abil-
ity In opposition to his colleagues from
Minnesota. 1t is he who recently said
in his paper that 'the degree Of pros
perity which permits a very few men
to have automobiles, steam yachts,
city palaces, and who spend on sin
gle dinner more than the amount of
mans wages for years work, is
not exactly the sort of prosperity that
produces higher civilization"
No wonder that Joel P. Heatwole
and Page Morris, two honest, consci-
entious, and capable representatives,
retired from Congress to devote thel-
time to the journalistic and legal pro
fessions. Would that Tawney, Nc
Cleary, Stevens and Fletcher had fol-
lowed their example or were repudi-
ated by their constituents as was
Frank M. Eddy.
The four Republican insurgents"
succeeded in getting their nomination
by the potent influence of the corpora
lions and trusts; but on next Tues.
day the people will pronounce a ver-
dict upon their record in Congress and
reprimand them as they deserve.
Now is the time for the citizens of
Minnesota to rebuke this precious
quartet who preferred to stand by the
sugar trust and against Cuban recip-
rocity. They have kept up the price
of refined sugar on American con-
sumers for the sole benefit Of greedy
and voracious corporation, and have
brought financial disaster upon the
Cuban planters by shutting them out
Of the American market.
! Not only have the Cubans suffered
by their conduct as we'll as the Amer.
lean consumers Of sugar, but the
American manufacturers have suf.
fered heavy loss.
1 The Cubans are importing merchan.
disc from European countries instead
of from the United States in conse.
quence Of barring them out of the
American market. Last year their
imports from the United States
amounted to only 100000 while their
imports from other countries aggrc-
gated upward of S5,O0o,Oo0. The four
Republican Congressman from Mime
sofa who are seeking reelection have
contributed to that result by their
opposition to President Roosevelt's pol
cy Of reciprocity with Cuta.
The Minnesota insurgents" have
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. If the people desire relief
from trusts, and they undoubtedly do,
they will have an opportunity of
changing their public servants next
Tuesday and Of sending a new set of
men to Washington to represent them
and not the trusts. The trusts are
able to look out for themselves and the
people whom they rob according to
law should have representatives to
look after their interests.
The Democrats have placed excel
lent candidates in the field. They are
Andrews, Kolars, Gieske,
Lind. Dubois. Fay and IcKinnon.
Without making any invidous compar-
lsons, these men will represent the peo-
pie at large far better than the oppo-
nents of President Roosevelt. In view
Of the fact that the next Congress will
be Democratic, all citizens, regardless
Of party, should prefer them to the
candidates. 1t is high
