Democratic Nominee For Con-

An Array of Solid Facts For
Voters to Consider,

At large Democratic meeting held
in Germania hall on Main street north
east, Monday night, DR.. G. H. Kohler,
Democratic nominee for congress in
the Fifth district, which combines the
city Of Minneapolis and county Of Hen
nepin, delivered his opening campaign
address.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the First Ward Democratic
club, and was one Of the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in the
ward. The tenth precinct organization
marched to the hall in body, pre-
coded by fife and drum corps.
]. H. Smith, chairman Of the club,
presided and in a short address intro
duced DR.. Kohler, who received a very
cordial reception.
After an appeal to the audience to
consider the matter to be discussed as
American citizens rather than as mere
partisans, DR.. Kohler spoke as follows:

Bishop Doane's Plan.

A better understanding between the
Protestant Episcopal church and the
Catholic church and various Protestant
bodies was urged by the Right Rev.
William Croswell Doane, D. D., bishop
Of Albany, N. Y, who preached the SER
mon at the opening, October 5, of the
triennial convention of the Episcopal
church in the United States in Boston.
Bishop Doane's discourse dealt with
the divisions of Christendom. He re-
ferred to the barriers which separate
the Anglican church from the other
denominations.
The recognition of Papal supremacy,
he declared, is impossible, but he
thought that the church might readily
recognize the primacy Of the bishop of
Rome, because of the antiquity of the
Roman See.
"It is the common and careless habit
Of census makers and newspaper men, -
he said, "to divide the Christianity of
America under two headings, Catholics
and Protestants. 1t is inaccurate, in
| sufficient and incorrect in it's distrib.
utive terms.
Unfortunately, there are no two
titles that will cover the unhappy di-
visions of Christendom. Fortunately,
in classifying this church, we must in
| clude it under both terms, since we are
catholic and we are also protestant.
and while, if we believe this, it
gives us position of unimagined pos
sibilities, it gives us also position of
incalculable responsibility.
what, then, is to be our attitude,
| since we are not to be swallowed whole
by the church Of the Roman obedience,
which is the church of the Catholic
disobedience: not to play spider and
the fly with the great Protestant bodies
outside of ourselves, nor 70 content our
selves with counting the gain of here
and there convert from Rome or a
proselyte from Professionalism? What
are we to do? We are to insist moro
and more on the spirit of compre-
hensiveness, which is the synonym of
catholicity. we are to think and teach
and work and pray and live in the
spirit of Cancellation, which is not

nor did any of them carry contests in
their pockets. They came together to
exercise their best judgment in select
ing good and fit men for the various
offices, and we'll they did their duty.
The most important action taken
by that convention-a step that
ought to appeal to every good
citizen-was it's stand for an
independent non-partisan judi
ciary. For the supreme court we
nominated two Republicans, Judge
Brown, whose integrity or ability has
never been questioned; Judge Lovely,
who was cast out Of the Republican
convention after he had been nominat-
ed-not because he was not an able
and upright Judge, but because his
place was needed at the bargain coun-
ter. The two Democrats we named
are men Of the highest standing per-
sonally and professionally. No jurist
in the state is better known or more
highly regarded than Judge Otis. Mr..

date, it is my pleasure to know more

learned to love and admire him for
his ability, his integrity and his indie
pendence.
Mr.. McDermott, our candidate for
attorney general, is man Of charac-
ter and standing personally and pro-
fessionally.
Mr.. Winston, our candidate for lieu
tenant governor, is man Of sterling
integrity, ripe experience and fearless
courage in combating political rotten
ness. AS foreman of the grand jury
in Hennepin county he made record
in the cause Of good government.
John A. Johnson, our candidate for
governor, 1 have known since child
hood: At II years of age he became
the sole support of mother and several
younger children. He worked in a
grocery store at So per week. By in
domitable energy and persistent work
he also obtained an education for him
self. With the aid of friends he
bought the st. Peter Herald, which he
continues to own and edit.
In 1898 he was elected to the state
senate over strong and popular oppo-
nent. In the senate he won the conf
dence and respect of his colleagues.
Justice to the people of the state
demands that the pending amendment
to increase the gross earnings tax on
railroad property from 3 to 4 per cent
be adopted. To the support of this
proposition we stand pledged by our
platform. If the people adopt the law
and elect our candidate for attorney
general it will be enforced.
Our tax laws are antiquated, cum
bersome and in many respects unjust.
We favor their amendment or revision.
We cheerfully conceue that the rail-
roads are entitled to fair return on
investments, but we deny that they
have either a moral or legal right to
tax the people by unreasonable trans
portation rates to earn dividends on
fictitious values. We offer you candi.

will be guided by the principle that the
railroads are the servants of the people
and not their masters; that for services
rendered they are entitled to fair pay

Equal rights to all, special privileges

not so we'll known that ut the time

a list of lands to which the court de-
clared the company was rightfully en-
titled, and that included in that list

would have not been less than $5,OOO,-

diplomacy and frmness the Duluth &
iron Range railroad people We're in
duccd to consent to the decree being
amended. so us to exclude all the state
institutions lands. which Judge Loeb
rem very promptly did when the proper
application was made by the attorneys
for the railroad company"
Let us examine the facts regarding
this claim:
On February 10. 1860. long before
any grant of lands had been made to
| the Duluth & Iron Range railroad COM
pany. the legislature granted 100000
acres of swamp land for certain state
institutions; also $4,000 acres for the
support of the normal schools then and
thereafter to be established in the
state. Under this grant by the legisla-
ture Mr.. Dunn's predecessors in office
had selected lands from time to time.
among which We're the $4,000 acres re-
ferrcd to by Mr. Dunn, and which are
located in st. Louis county and along
the iron range These lands were the
property of the state in trust for these
institutions as much as our school
lands are the property of the state in
trust for our schools.
On March 8, 1876, the legislature
granted to the Duluth 4 Iron Range
road from the swamp lands in st.
Louis, Lake and Cook counties ten
sections to the mile of road built, "'to
! be selected within ten miles on each
! side Of the road and, if there should
not be enough swamp lands unsold and

fare OF our district and the great
northwest are concerned; and in dis
| cussing these issues 1 must necessarily
place the tariff question first. The
tariff directly and indirectly vitality
concerns the great interests of the
northwest. I appeal from the position
of my opponent on the tariff-at least
so far as he has disclosed his views to
the public-in these three propositions:
First believe in an immediate re-
vision of the tariff, and revision

Second-I believe in the removal of

Third stand for reciprocity with

believe it safe to assume that IS
per cent Of the voters Of the United
States are at heart tariff reformers,
and in the northwest the percentage
should be 80 instead of Is. So, while
| the parties are in sense fundamental
| ~ divided on the tariff, it is more of a
decision how to accomplish the revision
| than the necessity of the change.
! A fundamental difference, too, is that
the Democratic party believes protec-
| tionism in it's present form system
of ubiquitous taxation, whereby the
many are taxed for the benefit of the
few; that protection does this by de-
| flecting capital from natural competi-
| ton, which must necessarily exist to
give the great masses more equal bur-
| dens. While the ultimate goal of the
Democratic party may be tariff for
revenue only, we realize that in attain
| ing this end the most careful consid-
GRAFTON for everybody's interest, COM
mon sense, conservatism and good
judgment must prevail.
The great feature of tariff reform
j which 1 desire specially to lay before
, you tonight-that which appeals to our
F, hearts and strikes home to our inter-
| ests in this congressional district per-
haps more strongly than any other
is reciprocity with Canada.
Reciprocity with Canada would dou-

spondingly develop our manufacturing
Industries, increase the investment of
capital and employment of labor and
swell the volume Of our productions
and wages.
Let us see how free Canadian mar
ket would affect our principal indus
tries.
Agricultural implements, including
vehicles, are represented by upwards
of a dozen strong establishments in
this city alone, employing about 1000
men and paying out about 100000 Il
year i'll wages, while turning out a
$1o.0oO.0oO product. The Canadian
tariff of 20 per cent to So per cent
against our implements is practically
prohibitive. Our largest implement
concern has been compelled to build
on the Canadian side in order to do
Canadian business. If reciprocity with
Canada would increase our market for
implements only SO per cent It would
add 100000 year to the payroll of
Minneapolis skilled workmen in the i'm
| plement industry and add $5,OOO,OOO a
! year to the volume Of our industrial
production.
