His unholy ambition is responsible for
more suffering than the mind of man can com
prehend 1t is any wonder that he fears the
bullet of assassin? If he thinks, if he has
the mind to grasp the almost limitless extent
of the wrong that lies at his door and of the
misery of the innocent for which he and those
under him responsible, what mnst be the
hell that RACES in his breast?
He may be final victor in the far East;
but there victories that cost too much. He
may become conqueror of Japan but at home
he is, and will be, only hated despot, ruler
by force. st. Paul News.

UNHAPPY RUSSIA AND A DESPOT.

Tolstoi says of Russia "The people are
dissatisfied, gloomy, exasperated.'
The dispatches tell of poverty and intense
suffering; ofHthousands Of persons out OF work
and of taxes that bear more heavily than ever
before.
Here is fine opportunity to study an alb
solute monarchy. An emperor decided to
fight There was no thought of rsking his
own life; no idea of suffering personal hardship.
BY d simple word he put in motion the wheels
that have ground thousands to DEATH and
plunged country in darkness.
The people will pay the cost of the war down
to the last Copeck. Some Of them will eat less
food wear poorer clothes, enjoy less comforts,
hold Oh to less Of the products Of their own
labor, and heritage of oppression will be
passed 70 succeeding generations in the
shape of debt which the people must pay.

from which it is impossible to send money

THE GOvERNORSHlP FIGHT.


Nothing said done will change the re
suit. Johnson is elected, and unless he make:
some most fragrant errors in administration
he will probably be reelected two years from
now.
1t has been the longest, hardest fight ever
waged for the governorship, and a few of its
startling features noted at this time may not
be out of place.
Bob Dunn has been tentative candidate
for governor for three fonr years, but did
not become an active candidate till about a
year ago At that time he and ex- Congressman
Eddy were in the field, but about that time it
became apparent that neither We're acceptable
to Van SAINT and those controlling the Organiza-
tion of the Republican party at that time.
Van SAINT himself would not have been un-
willing candidate for third term but instead
Judge Collins got into the field. His sup
porters wore mainly among the Van SAINT
office holders and their friends, and among
those who preferred him personally. His sup
port in this county was mainly of the latter
class. Duhn's support comprised many warm
political friends the anti-Van SAINT people, and

Dunn in the hope of bettering his senatorial
chances We all remember the long pre-con-
veution fight, and how Dunn finally won out
because he had more unCOntested delegates
than did Collins. This gave him the unques-
toned right to seat that Hennepin delegation

However, hundreds of prominent Republi-
cans went away from that convention BREATH
ing vengeance. The Democrats seized the
opportunity and nominated Johnson AS the
campaign progressed, Dunn found in opposi-

Organism in the democratic party. The con
servative wing of the party, in full control OF
the party machinery, has made more of mess
of it than Bryan ever did. The indications now
are that Parker has been defeated by much
larger popular majority than that which over
whelmed Bryan in either of his camprgns.
"The effort to maintain in this country two
conservative parties has proved a failure this
year, and always will, Parker's program did
not differ enough from that of the republican
party to make it worth while to go to the trou-
bic of political revolution. This campaign
demonstrates that the democratic party must
abandon it's claims to conservatism. 1t must
become radical party. The large portion of
nominal democrats who cannot stand for rad
icalism will have to join the republican party
permanently. AS a matter of fact. they are
mostly all republicans by this time.
"Bryan and his followers will now regain
control of the democratic organization in most
of the states. They will proceed to build up
a practically party along lines that will
not be strange to those who have followed
Bryan's career.

the drift to socialism. Led by Bryan, who is
today more respected and admired than any

ROBSON ENDORSED.

The Democratic state convention
last week did very wise and sensible
thing when it endorsed j. w. Robson,
the only man on the republican ticket
whois in sympathy with the farmers,
shippers and merchants, for railroad
commissioner. AS a result of this
action there will be only two instead Of
three candidates on the democratic
ticket. The Democrats and Populists
haYe decided that Robson Is man Of
the people and that he will serve the
state we'll on the railroad commission
regardless OF what his views on national
politics may be. Now, if the people of
the state will elect w. F. Ferguson and
F. II. Chase, the two fusion candidates
who, with Mr.. Robson have beer
endorsed by the business mems fedora
ton, they will have board which the
railroads can not control.
In rising above partisan bias in this
instance, the Democrats and Populists
of Kansas have set a precedent which
can not fail to be commendable. They
have demonstrated that they are here
to do something and that party su-
premacy is made secondary to the
states welfare.

an objection that all recognize-is the
use OF the pass in politics. In some OF
the states the constitution fOrbids the
use of pass by public officials, but ev.
en- in such states officials sometimes use
passes and when an Official in such q
state accepts a pass. having violated
the law, he puts himself where the rail-
road can blackmail him and force him
to vote for measures desired by the
railroads.
Concluding, Mr.. Bryan makes this
eloquent appeal:
1.-The contest above outlined must be
made whether the party wins in No.
vember or not. A single election is but
an incident in the life of a party. For
more than century the democratic
party has stood forth as the representa-.
tive of certain great ideas. Jefferson
founded it, jackson defended it. and
even Cleveland could not destroy it. If
Mr.. Parker is elected his administra.
tiOn will rid us OF imperialism and of the
threat of race issue and give US great
er freedom in the taking up Of econom-
ic questions. Nothing that he can do or
say as president will thwart the purpos.
es Of the democratic masses to rid the
party of plutocratic influences and
tendencies. The republican party is
growing more and more plutocratic and
it can furnish home for all who be.
lieve in the rule of wealth. The demo.
cratic party cannot be a plutocratic par
ty; it cannot belle its history; it cannot
disappoint the hopes of its members.
The fight must 60 on and must 90 on
until victory is secured. Can we win?
Who can doubt itp To those who think
that temporary victory Of the con-
servative element ends progress in the
democratic party let this reply be made:
20 ye of little faith! Go forth into
the fields and see how the myriad
grains, bursting forth from their prison
in the earth, push upward toward the
light. Watch them as under the inhu-
ence of sunshine and shower they grow
to maturity and furnish food for the
race. Go into the orchard and see the
seed or the grated twig grow into .
great tree whose leaves furnish shade
and whose fruit gives nourishment to
man. Measure if you can the mighty
forces behind the grain and the tree,
and know ye that the forces behind the
truth are as irresistible and as constant.
ly at work. God would have been un.
kind, indeed, had He made such ample
provision for tLe needs of mans body
and less adequate provision for the tri.
umph of those moral forces which mean
more to the race than food or clothing
or shelter. He is a political atheist
who doubts the triumph of the right.
He lacks faith in the purposes and the
plans of God who for moment falters
in the great struggle between truth and
error-between man and mammon."
