Speeches today: A. L. Cole and ]. F.
Jacobson at St James; Knute Nelson at
Hawley; Moses q. Clapp at Rochester,;
John "A. Johnson at Long Prairie, after
noon,2 and Wadena evening.
j. r. Jacobson IS making strong APP
peal to republicans wherever he goes,
and especially taking pains to set them
right as to the fairness of the Duluth
nomination, and the soundness Of A. Il.
Coles position on questions that interest
the people. In his speech at Owatonna,
according to the Chronicle, he said:
Mr. Cole got that nomination just as fairly
ana squarely as any nomination ever given in
the state. Is there any republican who will
say that that nomination was not fairly gotten?
nov nov Jet me ask you that If you are going 10
peglh to question about any candidate on the
state ticket why begin at the top OF the ticket
and stop there? Mr.. Cole is as good man
a ana as much entitled to your support as any
other man the ticket. There ia M mora
reason for you to 20 back on him than ~
any OF the rest If you are leaning towards
democratic principles and want to support BRYAN
" t nearst, vote for johnson and all the rest Of
the democratic ticket, but come out like a man
ana say you are a democrat. =
Ihen, says the Chronicle, Mr.. Jacob
son declared that before he made I'M his
nina to support Mr.. Cole he looked up
MS record carefully, and went to him
and personally asked him lot Of nointed
questions as to his position and inten-
IONS on public questions II guess he
tnought l was going to, fight him from
tne way talked to him." laughed Jacob
son. made up my mind he would be
a good business governor and that he
would stand for the peoples rights .nd
welfare, and so am going to do nv hest
to help elect him. =
senator H. ]. Gtertsen has written to
Inc ortonv1lle Herald-Star in reply to a
paragraph which spoke of him as at
lacking A. L. Cole. He says: -.

either publicly privately, said anythinr , re
necting upon Mr.. Cole personally or mon hts
Saholoaey. am supporting Mr.. Coles can
contrsr, LUZ + governor and any statement to the
eontrary Is false. I believe that he will he
e1ec'eo ana Will make splendid governor.
The week after the primaries +hera
was a dearth of editorial in the Sank
center Herald, and Editor Whiteman Of
ortonvlIe remarked that from the indi
ea.ions frank Eddy had been defeated
for editor. Apparently he was inst rest1
ing IRON his strenuous campaign for
hlndoergh, for this week he is good "a
ever, ana furnishes a two-column an
preclat1on OF Senator Nelson couched in
Tue lnlmltable Eddy style. He ridicules
ehe claims that Nelson Is an ally of COR
poratlons, and says that whenever the IN
terests OF the people and the interests of
the corporations clashed, Nelson has al
ways been with the people.
John R. Howard of Sank Center. who

p.ospect OF success, was chief clerk. of
that body twenty years ago. He served
IN -FOUR sessions, 1881 to 1887. $50.
me coming visit Of Vice President
fa1roanks to Mankato, Oct. Is, has oc.
casloned some surprise, in view of the
ract that the state committee has been
iaoor1ng In vain to get the vice president
TO come to Minnesota for one or more
speeches. It is plain that he has agreed
TO come to Mankato as a. result of per-
sonar sono1tation from Congressman Nc

democratic nominee. He announces him
self as the only farmer who ever ran for
the senate in Stearns county, and has
grown a fine beard to verifv his cra-
dent1als.
The Princeton Union IS now satisfied
with things as they are. This week it
| says that the selection of Thomas Fl
Salmon as successor to G, H. Warner in
state headquarters is proof that the
| 1rlends OF Dunn are not being discrino-
mated against by Cole. In another nara
graph the Union remarks that the 1eeis.
iat1ve nominees in the forty-f1fth dis
trlct are entitled to the support of the
party, and will receive It. -
