UP TO THE PEOPLE.
The campaign is about over.

voters of the State will express their
wishes by ballot: The election will
close one of the most exciting politi-
cal contests ever witnessed in the
State, a contest made bitter by the re-
sort to all kinds of tactics on the part
of a few persons upon whom honors
have been conferred by the Republi-
can party, to defeat the Republican
nominee for governor. Aided by
several OF the twin city papers these
would-be party wreckers have by po-
litical sins of omission and commits
sion done all that it has been possible
to do to accomplish the defeat of r.
G. Dunn, whose nomination was made
unanimous on motion of the personal
Representatives of Judge Collins and
Frank NJ. Eddy, on the floor OF the
State convention.
Not content with boiling and repu-
dating the acts of their party these
individuals have by the stand they
have taken contributed in many ways
to most unjust, and unfair attacks on
the Republican nominee for governor.
His official acts, the integrity of
which were never questioned and for
eight years found conspicuous place
in campaign handbooks and circulars.
have been presented to the public by
the State bank examiner in a grossly
misrepresented and incorrect manner.
and stained with malice and hatred.
A hostile metropolitan press has ex-
hausted the art of the caricaturist.
and the fund of fiction and misstate-
ments Of the editorial and newsrooms
in it's attempt to place Mr.. Dunn in a
wrong light before the people. Per-
sonal Islander and abuse have not been
spared by these political revolution
lists. The whole gamut of vitupera-
ton and abuse has been exhausted in
an endeavor to defeat Mr.. Dunn, and
it remains to be seen to what extent
this work has been carried. No can
didate for governor in this State ever
had to stand the abuse and SANDER
that Mr.. Dunn has. No voice was
ever raised against him when he was
State auditor. For eight years he oc-
cupied Offices in the State capitol i'm
mediately opposite the governors
rooms, and daily met socially and
officially scores of people from all
parts of the State. Nothing was ever
said against Mr.. Dunn's fitness and
capabilities as auditor and no one
ever said word against Mr.. Dunn's
character, either as a private or pub
lie citizen during these eight years.
Political selfshness, malice. and
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT inspired all
the reports derogatory to Mr.. Dunn's
official acts and private character. but
it will be determined next Tuesday in
whom the people place their trust
whether in an unprincipled, malicious,
overbearing, oppressive and offcious
State bank examiner certain metropol-
itan newspa pers, controlled by trusts.

In such men as President Bridgman

every congressman in the State and
hundreds Of prominent people all over
the State who are defending Mr.. Dunn
against the unfair and unmanly at
tacks of his enemies. The opposition
has sounded it's tin horns and tom
toms long and loud, and just before
election there will be one shrill. long
loud wall that will shake the peet
boys, and then it will be up to the
people, it will be for them to say.
From their verdict there will be no
appeal. It will be final and irrevoca-
bic, and will end long-drawn-ou
political contest at the close of which
all parties interested will be glad.
AS to the verdict Of the people there
can be no question whatever. The
