their own agents and representa-
tives who ''make public Office a
private snap?"
The case is perfectly plain and
simple to every voter. In his
heart he knows what sort of man
he wants to act for him in Con-
gress. He knows the stamp of
man G. B. Buchanan is proven to
be. Does he want him? Or does
he want an honorable, able, fearless
man like G. A. Lindbergh?
Has the State ever put its brand
on him for any offense against the
peace, dignity, or property of the
State? Can all the stories des-
perate opponent can trump up in
the closing days of this campaign
compare with the : Infamous charge
made by the great State of Mime
sofa against G. B. Buchanan? He
has lived more than 20 years in
Little Falls with G. A. Lindbergh,
and if he knew a single thing to
his discredit in all his life he would
have spread it broadcast long be-
fore this. Mr.. Buchanan has had
nearly two years to meet the States
charge. And what has he done to
disprove it? Watch out for the
man who springs false reports when
there is no time left to meet and
disprove them. Men like fair play,
and at this late day it would be
ridiculous to comIar the high
character Mr.. Lindbergh has al
ways enjoyed, or his private, or
personal, or professional life with
what the Attorney General has
sworn to against G. B. Buchanan.
Some of bis fool friends tried to
work the Dam proposition off
against his opponent, but it did not
60. 1t was proven from the records
of Morrison county that Mr..
Lindbergh did not have a dollar
invested in Pike Rapids, and that
the man who owned the land and
power there had bought it all more
than year and a half before one
G. "A. Oberly bought any part of
his power 2 or 3 miles down the
river. That campaign lie came
back to discredit the men who
started it.
He may tell the people that Mr..
Lindbergh has in the last 20 years,
with several law partners, had a
large amount of law practice of
various kinds; that they welcome
the kind of clients and employers
that all frst-class lawyers do bust
ness for. He may make great howl
because Lindbergh & Blanchard do
business for timber concerns, who
do not wrongfully and unlawfully
take timber from School Lands; but
these clients do not own G. A.
Lindbergh. He boldly says-s'the
tariff must come off of lumber"
Or some clients may have mortgages
thew want foreclosed; all attorneys
in the State do this work, and the
better the attorney or firm serves
his clients, the more business of
every kind they have. No attorney
in the State can foreclose a mort.
gage for client without written
authority from the man who owns
the mortgage; that is the State law.
And when the holder demands fore
closure it does not matter one bit
what firm acts for him; they all do
the same thing; must do the same
thing under the law. They must
do their work rightly and lawfully,
but Mr.. Buchanan gets in his ''fne
work" OIL School Lands ''wrong-
fully and unlawfully." Mr.. Buck
man is on trial; the clients of a
firm are not on trial; are not run
ming for Congress in this District
Will Mr.. Buchanan also say that
the greatest number of Llndbergh
& Blanchard's clients are farmers,
merchants and business men in
Morrison and adjoining counties?
Or again Mr.. Buchanan may
wrongfully take a little here and a
little there from what Mr.. Lind
bergh has said or written, without
