MAYOR LIKES PLATFORM
HE rs SPECIALLY PLEASED
WITH THE PLANKs ON MORAL
ITY AND GOOD GOVERNMENT.

Mayor David h F. Jones e. fSa is z.n much
can convention at Duluth, with the
nominations made and particularly with
the platform. He says:
The republican state convention, SO
acquaintance with its nominee for gov
ernor, has done great deal to oblit-
crate fractional division in the party
and bring about harmonious action in
tho coming ampaign. The result seems
to have been reached after careful de-
liberation and without any OF the bit
terness that too often follows conven-
ton action. Mr.. Cole has an excellent
| record in the state legislature, is a
representative business man Of the
state, and is Of the highest personal
character. | am also especially pleased
with the excellent platform, and am
gratified over the following expression,
as showing that the moral sense Of the
republican party has not been blunted
by false conceptions of public policy
or mistaken notions Of expediency. The
plank I refer to is the last one and
reads as follows:
. We are in favor Of all just meas.
ures tending to the advancement OF
| the cause of temperance, morality and
good government.
The sentiment is occasionally e,x
! pressed that any attempt to conserve
the public morals along the line of bet
ter enforcement Of law and stricter reg
ulation Of evils that no one dares open
ly defend is bad party policy, but the
outspoken position of the most represen
to tive. republican convention held il
this state for years convinces me that
there is nothing unrcpublican or politi
cally inexpedient in standing up for Law
and order, the protection Of the home
and the family and better government
generally.'' ~. ~ f.. L 4 d.

MINNESOTA CANT HEAR
KANSAS CRY FOR HELP

Kansas, whose harvest is to begin
at Office, will not get any help in the
way Of harvest hands from Minneap-
oils. Nearly any one single employ
ment agency in this city would be glad
to get 1000 men at once FOR Work
within 400 miles Of the twin cities.
With this shortage of hands here there
is no probability Of the Kansas har-
vest and following threshing season at
tracing laborers from Minnesota. Tho
distance is SO great that higher wages
would have to be paid than now pre-
vail in Kansas.
At least $1,000 men and $500 teams
will be used in the Kansas wheat fields
Topeka. These are in addition to the
quota of farm hands and teams on the
farms at the present time.
T. B. sGerow,. director Of the Kansas
state free employment bureau, has is
sued his annual report Of the number
of men needed in each county to har-
vest the crop this year. Z,
Harper county stands at the, head
of the list, as that county has asked
for 1900 men and 800 teams. Pratt
county needs 1000 men and 800 teams.
An epidemic Of CHAMBERS in Pratt and
adjoining counties has caused the death
Of several hundred horses, making an
unusual requirement Of teams.
