A Candid Avowal.

The campaign book which Chairman
Griggs of the democratic congressional
committee has issued as embodying cor
tional democratic party Is advocating
and of those which it is antagonizing,
contains the following avowal:
1.-THE theory of free trade is that both
seller and buyer are benefited by an !ex-
change of commodities, and that, as all
greatest number requires that there be no
barriers to trade in order that goods may
be as cheap as possible, and the cost of
living be reduced to a minimum. Free
trade would open our markets to benefit
our own country. It is hospitable. and
seeks peace and good will with all ma
tons. Reciprocity cares nothing for the
consumer and hunts foreign markets with
a club. Its stock in trade is high tariff,
favoritism, discrimination and retaliation
Reciprocity Is the handmaiden of pro-
lection, and is inconsistent with theories
of free trade. .'';
Heretofore the democratic. party has at
tempted TO mask THIS policy under the
term tariff for revenue only" In the
congressional campaign this autumn the
democratic leaders who devised the cam
paign book, made up their minds to be
honest for once, and so they come out in
plain English for free trade, pure and
simple, every schedule Of protective duties
repealed, not even a revenue duty for the
covering of the governments necessary
expenditures, economically administered .
as they used to express it, to interfere
with the absolute free exchange Of com
modities.
This fiat footed declaration for free
trade is coupled with vigorous denuncia-
ton of reciprocity as inconsistent with
theories of free trade The democrats
who have been denouncing the failure OF
the republicans to pass the Cuban reci-
procity measure last spring, learn from
this democratic handbook that it is very
undemocratic thing to approve of reel
procity in any form.

: FALSE CHARGES.

FreebOrn County Times.
It may be we'll at this time to make a
general and specific denial of all and
each of the charges which have been
made against Senator Knatvold in the
present congressional contest.
It has been charged by the Tawney sup
porters that Senator Knatvold nominated
Congressman Tawney at the last repub-
lican congressional convention at Dodge
Center. This is false Senator Knatvold
ton Of Congressman Tawney in that con-
vention. The nomination was made by
Mr.. Shepherd Of Austin. The only part
which Senator Knatvold took in that con-
vention was to place Mr.. Sperry Of Owa
tonna in nomination for chairman of the
convention.
It has been charged by the Tawney
supporters that two years ago Senator
Knatvold stumped the district in behalf
Of Mr.. Tawney and defended his attitude
on the lumber tariff. This is false. Mr..
Knatvold two years ago supported the
nominee of his party and spoke in Free
born and Fillmore counties for the ticket
devoting his attention almost exclusively
to state issues.
Mr. Knatvold was not out in Mr.. Taw-
ney's interests nor did he go at the invi-
tation or suggestion of the congressional
committee. When he divided time with a
second speaker, the second man spoke for
the congressional candidate. When he was
unaccompanied by another speaker, Mr..
Knatvold advocated the election of a re-
publican to congress, but he did not then
nor has he ever Endorsed the Tawney 50
tariff on lumber nor did he defend Mr..
Tawney's connection with the lumbermen
and the lumber interests.
It has been charged by the Tawney
forces that the oleomargarin and sugar
trusts have contributed toward the cam
pafgn expenses of Senator Knatvold
Also that these trusts were responsible
for his candidacy. This is false. Senator
Knatvold's candidacy was not induced OF
influenced directly or remotely by, the
sugar, ~oleomargarin or any other. trust
nor by any interests whatsoever. -. Mr.
Knatvo1d's campaign expenses have beer
betrayed entirely by himself. Not dol
| lar, not cent, has been contributed by
| the oleomargarin, sugar or any other t,rus
! interest or Individual toward his campaign
| expenses nor has he or his committee re:
ceived directly or indirectly, or solicited
| or requested, directly or indirectly, any
| any contribution Of money or assistance
| of any kind whatever nor have they re.
ceived any communication from or com.

rectly, any trust, person or interests.

The First's Great Fight.

Taking it altogether the fight in the
first Minnesota district for the republican
nomination to congress is about the pref
test and most diverting in the state.
James A. Tawney, the present congress-
man, who is fighting like a Trojan to hold
his place, is probably Minnesota's most IA
nous congressman. He is better known at
Washington. and more widely known
throughout the country than any other Of
the once "solid seven." . ... 49,. T. s
But in number Of ways he has, during
his nine years of service at Washington,
got out Of touch with his people. AS his
fame and influence grew he seemed to think
that the first Minnesota district represents
ed him rather than that he represented it.
This lack of sympathy with his people,
which he did not understand until lately,
was bound in time to1draw out vigorous
opposition. It came, a." last, this year In
the person Of State Senator Thorvold V.
Knatvold of Albert Lea. :
The contest opened up with fireworks
and has been Of the liveliest and most de-
termined nature ever since. In places it
has been as bitter as a contest between
nominees of the two great parties usual
ly is. -, 49, a:zr,r.x ,.....ua j
Whether Mr.. Tawrey is victorious or
defeated the struggle will not be without
good results. If, defeated, the first dis
trict will be represented at Washington by
a man who knows what the people of Min
nesota want and is in favor of what they
want. If Mr.. Tawney wins there is good
reason to believe that the scales will have
dropped from his eyes and that he, too,
will henceforth be close to his people. His
platform and his interviews indicate that
some Of his views are even now undergo
ing remarkable transformations.

A candidate for congress is reported to

to the Individual voters, whereas the fam

final election as in the primary, i. e., If
men vote against a person who becomes
the party nominee they will vote for his
opponent outside the party. This danger
is greatly exaggerated. At any rate it Is
an unconscious tribute to the primary
election system to admit that it gets intra-
party politics back to the units that COM
pose the party.
