That Ed Young is not worthy to be
attorney general
That Mills and Young were noni-
mated railroad commissioners by and

That the lumber barons, the railroads
and the trusts dictated the nominal.
ton of Lewis. Elliott and Jaggard for
Judges because they need the supreme
court in their business.
WeH-posted citizens of all parties
throughout the state know all this to
be true, the proof is abundant
Ask three-fourths of the Freeborn
county delegates to the Republican
state convention if it is not so.
How, then, can any self-respecting
citizen vote for any of the men on the
discredited Dunn ticket?
Would it not dishonor the Repub-
lican party and the state to elect
them?
Would any sensible business man.

No man in the state has suffered
more from fool friends than has R. c..

Those who love graft (and graft

man. 1t were indeed a monumental
achievement to elect a Democratic
governor of Minnesota in a presidential
year, If 1t were mere question of par
ties, which is far from being the case
Yet Dunn's managers are fearful Of
next Tuesday. They have circulated
the most outrageous defamatory false
hoods about Mr.. Johnson, they have
piled the party lash, threatened, begged
taunted, fiattered, ridiculed, denied, ex-
planned, avoided and obscured the is
sues. They have worked with fearful
energy and at fearful costs.

By continuing our foolish and
wasteful policy we shall simply en-
courage the building of mills on the Ca
madam side and thus lose for Minnesota

state is now drawing to a close, and

Wisconsin should roll up bigger

Conservative estimates place Dunn's
