More and more the campaigns OF
the Prohibition party are an attempt
to present to "the average man" its
principles and the grounds upon which
it bases it's appeal for the support OF
his ballot.
We do not neglect the churchman.
We still ask his aid because the sa-
loon stands for all the church is ar
rayed against. But our appeal has
been put up to the church-member
and pastor for years. We have also
talked to the parent about his civic
duty to his boys and his neighbors'
boys. And we will continue to do so.
So will we still show the business
man that the saloon is his most sue
cessful rival, and the taxpayer that
it lays upon him his heaviest burden.
But we have learned that our hope
lies in winning "the average man" to
our side, and this is now our chief
mission.
"The average man" is neither a
Ounce nor a scholar. He is neither a
millionaire nor a tramp. He is neither
scoundrel nor, as rule, a thirty
third degree saint He is fairly in
telligent and his intelligence is of the
means to do about right. He is quite
independent in his political and gen
eral thinking and conduct He be-
longs to no ring. He doesn't want an
office, nor is he seeking one for his
father-in-law. He doesn't deem 1t nee
essary to go with the crowd. And
there are a good many of him. Per
haps, after all, this is his chief charac
teristic. If so, it is good reason why

of government, should get after him

of voters, farmers, mechanics, day

party gospel as expOunded by high
minded and forceful Chas. w. Dorsett,
logical and practical Oliver w. Stew
art, Jos. H. Woertendyke, the Cali
fornia vote-winner, and others OF our
platform champions.
The Governors Party will put up
such a campaign as has never been
attempted in Minnesota by any party.
The State Committees big auto of
1904 could not run fast enough to fill
the many dates planned for it. The
meetings held, however, drew audienc-
es greatly exceeding all expecta-
tions. But the Four-in-Hand Tally
Ho will do the business; and, since
the people are getting a better grip
on the saloon fight each year, we
| predict continuous ovation to our
splendid candidate for governor and
expect to hear daily story OF enthusl-
astic audiences and captured votes.
The Tally-Ho will start at Mime
apolis on the 9th inst, holding meet
ings that day in the Mill City at 12,
noon and 73O and 8 P. M. The Party
will then follow the general direction
outlined in our issue of aug. 1st.,
striking southeast, west, north, and
southeast, returning to the Twin Cities
on the day preceding election. Mr..
Dorsett will be accompanied by Oliver
w. Stewart or some other strong
campaigner.- and by Congressional
and Legislative candidates who will
join the party en- route. The trip will
occupy 70 days and cover about 2SC
towns. The exact itinerary is being
rapidly arranged and the communities
desiring a visit of the Party should
communicate promptly with Sec
Calderwood. A date having been fix
ed, our workers should put forth the
effort of their lives to rally the people
even those living miles away, to the
Tally-Ho meetings.

GOV. HOCH STANDS PAT.

Kansas City,. Aug. 13.-The saloon
war at Kansas City, Kan, waged so
persistenly a month ago by c. w.
Trickett, the assistant attorney-gen-
eral, appointed by Gov. Hoch to en-
force the prohibitory law, was re-
sumed Sunday, when that official
made the rounds of the "joints" in an
automobile and arrested the proprie-
tors of three places where liquor was
being sold.
Attorney Trickett is in receipt of
the following message from Attorney
General Colman at Topeka, which re-
fers to several damage suits recently
brought by saloonkeepers whose prop
erty had been destroyed by Trickett's
order:
"Pay no heed to damage suits; all
the power and resources of the state
are pledged to defend you and vindi-
cate the supremacy of the law"

a pretty good-sized risk on the cost

hibitionists rip-roaring feast of good

Just as we expected, the Pathfind-
ers Colored Quartette is securing
fine and, in some cases, immense
audiences. Professor w. j. Arnold,
their leader, is no novice at his pre-
sent Job. The fine voices OF the
Quartette, combining the sweet melo-
diousness which the Negro race seems
to inherit with the cultivation whlch
the members of the Quartette have
received, draw and hold the people,
captivate their hearts and prepare
them to give our cause, as represent
ed by Mr.. Arnold in his addresses,
most favorable hearing.
Mr. Arnold has a very happy way
of weaving argument and story, wit
and pathos into an address which
holds the attention, disarms prejudice
and convinces the judgment.

CASTLE WILL LEAD.
Pennsylvania Prohibiiionists Respectfully Decline
10 Endorse Emery who Puts Churches and
Breweries in the Same Class. They
will Stir the State.

When state treasurer Berry, NOM
mated by the Prohibition party for
governor of Pennsylvania, failed to
receive the endorsement of the Dem
Ocratic party and declined the Pro
hibition nomination, it was feared
that the Prohibitionists of the Key
stone state might decide to endorse
Emery, the Lincoln Republican and
Democratic candidate. That gentle
man however settled the question him
self by his indignant reply to DR..
Swallows letter asking him for his
answer to certain accusations. He ad-
mitted being a drinker and serving
liquors on his table and that while
he was not at home at the time a
brewery was established in his home
town, he would have encouraged the
scheme had he been present. He said,
However, had / been at home l
would not have withheld my donation
from that brewery no more than l
would from the churches, schools, or
hospitals, as it is recognized by law
as a legitimate business of the cOun-
try"
Of course, Prohibitionists would not
stand for this, although they would
| have been glad to cooperate to over
| throw the corrupt Republican ma
| chine. The executive committee there
fore unanimously nominated indomit-
able Homer l.. Castle for governor.
Prof H. D. Patton, campaigner who
has given his life to the cause, was
named for lieutenant governor in place
of Mr.. Castle. Pennsylvania Prohibi-
tionists declare their intention now to
put up the most energetic campaign
in the history of the party in that
state. They will stump every county
and endeavor to show the people
that the election of the Prohibition
ticket is the only real chance of free
ing the state from corruption and
graft.

WOMEN AT THE PRIMARIES.

Women may vote at the coming pr1-
maries where the nomination of
school officials is involved, but only
on condition that the votes so cast
shall be subject to judicial inquiry
if contest is entered.
Attorney General Young has so
ruled and his decision is in answer
to a general protest against his rul-
ing of some weeks ago, in which he
held that women could not legally vote
at the primaries.
He recommends that the votes of
women be received at the coming pri-
mary, using separate ballots and sep
arate boxes, so that if after the. pri-
mary any interested party desires to
take the question into the courts II
can be conveniently done.
