the ablest, if not the ablest, repre-
sentative of that element.
We selected the second district
in which to make the test because
of the ease with which list of
names could be obtained and it is
reasonable to suppose stand-pattism
is stronger in that district than any
other in the state.
We did not challenge Mr..
McCleary or anyone else. Any
stand-patter in the United States is
at liberty to accept our "offer.'
We think this matter ought to be
tested in some way Independent of
campaign in which the personality
of candidates enter. The people
are entitled to what they want. If
they do not want any tariff revision
and are opposed to reciprocity the
entire congressional delegation
should be out and out stand-patters.
If, as we believe, an overwhelming
majority of Minnesota voters
honestly think there should be a
revision of the tariff and are
earnestly in favor of reciprocity it
is travesty on representation to be
represented in congress by men
to those views.

Good Morning, Happy New

NOT A BLUFF.

Charles B. Cheney of the Mime

to the stand-patters to test the
strength of their position as an
"artistic bluff" There is no bluff
about it. 1t was simply a square
offer to those who claim that
Minnesota republicans are stand
patters to make good their assertion.
Mr.. Cheney also states that Mr..
McCleary did not state his position
himself. That is true. We
summarized his position from his
tariff speech made in Congress, his
published interview on his return
from Europe and speeches he has
made since.
Our article has been published all
over the state and neither he or any
of his friends have made the claim
that we have misrepl eseated him.
We honestly think if L had made
a statement himself he would have
made it stronger than we did. We
think our statement of his views is
approximately correct. Not only
that bnt we think it is fair state
ment of the views of the stand pat
element of the republ lean party.
We consider Mr.. McCleary one OF

revision. That IN 1892 the repub,
