to say that not since the Cleveland

candidates. 49,
The finger 81 scorn has been pointed

and charges made that the trusts were
contributing the campaign funds. One
Ne" York paper. for the purpose
probably OF securing free advertising,
propounded list OF questions to Cor

trusts put In on the munitions of war.
The questions, OF course, were not an

1t Will afford much satisfaction to
the working people to know just who
the trusts are anxious to elect If
ever a suffering public has been rid

the past three years when a trust has
been born practically every day. Tom
Lawson says the Standard Oil dictated

takes to tell how and why. This is

the opening Of the campaign. The

know that Roosevelt made a good

No Less for personalities is the CUB
ernatorial contest in. Minnesota, al
though it has been IL pract1cally. ex
paEte;>s.s While Bob Dunn a,as been the
target ost 81 puis ,kindsI,f
po4itica, cations and abuse N. IN {.
never during THE: campaign, either in
his public; or private utterasiilces return
ed the goods in kind, and he is known
to nave issued strict orders against it
to his workers.
At his speech In this city Saturday
night Bob Dunn made many votes, and
! st. Louis county, where he was at
home, will hand out several thousand
votes for Hennepln county to overcome.
Bob Dunn IL not a handsome man:
He performed no delsartian movements
nor struck dramatic attitudes while he
was addressing tho crowd at the Ar
mory Saturday night. And Bob will
have to plead guilty to the charge
| that his clothes don't tit. 1t has been
announced among the tailor made
youths OF Minneapolis by the Van SAINT
bunch that Bob Dunn's suit was a
reach-we- down; and that he wore
Douglas shoes. OF course this was un-
pardonable, and 1t may be true.
But Dunn said things. He said them
right OFT the bat, and so simply that a
schoolbey could understand. In prac-
| tical rfaonosyllables he refuted all the
1 charges ag adtAst< his record as auditor,
and without word OF abuse showed
up the opposition In the most con-
vincing way. st. Louis county is proud
OF the part it has played in his nom-
tnation.
It Is = duty OF the voters OF Mime
sofa to elect Bob Dunn Tor the purpose
OF condemning the political methods
resorted to by his enemies. II he Is
! defeated one Of the most grasping po-
litical rings ever formed in the west
will be holsted into power, and graft
| will shine triumphant. Minneapolis
should give him a heavy majority.
The experience OF that city ought to
frighten any sensible voter away from
the headquarters which is already no
tortous for public plundering.
