THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN,

We trust our readers read the
abstract of Mr. Larabee's speech In
our last issue. 1t will we'll repay Pc
rusal.
The arguments he there presented
and others along the same lines he has
been giving in othc" speeches in diff
ferent PARTS Of the county, And his
arguments are heard with an interest
that has not been shown i'll the speech
es of a. congressional candidate in this
district for many a day. Part of this
is undoubtedly owing to the man him
self as we'll as to what he says. lie
impresses himself upon the people AS
IL man of conscience, intense earnest
ness, ability of high order and u
knowledge of economic questions and
public affairs that fl. him for distin-
guished service in The national house
of representatives should he be sent
to that body.
He is presenting t. the people of the
district, as they have never had pre-
sented before, the failure of the Repub-
lican party 10 keep it's promise from
election to election to reduce the tar
people of all classes except the tariff
benetciaries themselves. He points out
how. on the contrary, the changes in
tho tariff by the Republicans, as Ivy
the Mckinley bill and the DingIey bill
have been raises instead Of reductions.
He further points cut how the reel
procity treaties of the Mckinley add
minist,ation which promised u little
relief from some tariff enormities have
either failed of ratification or been all
lowed to slumber in the rooms of the
Senate committee on foreign relations
And us showing how hopeless is any
relief from tariff denominations like
the duty on coal, lumber, iron ore and
many others, he calls attention to the
fact that even President Roosevelt.
who used to be considered almost a
free trader. has these later days bacome
a stand patter." Mr.. Larrabee is
reasoning with the people.
On the other hand. his opponent,
Mr.. Nye. is regaling the people with
grandiloquent speeches as to the glor-
les of the great American republic, as
to which all are agreed, claiming them
for the Republican party and giving
them as reasons why he should be
elected to congress. 1t would be a
misuse of language to call the soph-
omoric spread eagleism of Mr.. Nye's
speeches argument.
We understand Mr.. Larrabcc has
challenged Mr.. Nye to meet him on
the same platform and that there each
present to the voters Of this district
his claims to their suffrages. We haze
no expectation that MI Nye will dare
accept the challenge; but should he
he will have to deal tn something more
substantial than the rl1a psodies on the
flag and the virtues of ancient wor-
tllieS with which he has thus far in
the campaign RECALLED his hearers.

The candidacy of frank D. Larrabee
Mr.. Larrabee's appeal to the voters is
so clear. logical and convincing that
from being mere candidate to fill up
the ticket he has become a candidate
asking for and deserving an election.
He is pointing out daily with telling
effect how present day Republican
policies are out Of tune with the best
interests Of the people Of this district.
He rightly asks the voters of this Re-
publican district whether they desire
ia representative in congress who as
~ good Republican might be expected
10 follow the leaders of that party in

GIVING AN ACCOUNT,

Saturday evening presented an un-
tend political meetings. When Gov
ernor Johnson arose to give an ac-
count OF his stewardship there was
enthusiasm and plenty of 1t. There
was none of that partisan spirit that
usually attends the opening of a cam
paign. The hall was not crowded with
marching clubs or playing bands. 1t
was not Il house packed" for the pur-
of making a showing. The people who
attended the Auditorium on last Sat
urday evening went there to hear the
governors account of his stewardship
and to pass upon it. They were friend
ly to him but not his rartisans. They
did not go to applaud him. no matter
what he said, but to hear him and le-
eide for themselves as to whether or
no they should join it'll other citizens
of the state in retaining him in their
service for another two years. The
close attention given throughout the
address, the reserved Judgment, more
nearly resembled the attitude of jury
than that of a partisan political meet
ing. The account uf his stewardship
was given by the governor in his usual
logical and convincing manner. He
knew what those people were there for
and he knew what he was there for.
His rehearsal of what the administra-
ton has accomplished on the timber
trespass cases was direct, concise and
convincingly favorable, to himself and
his co-workers. The same is true Of
what he had to say about transporta-
ton rates, state and national insurance
problems; and the work of the board
Of tax equalization. He invited the
examination of his record upon those
subjects and asked his hearers to de-
eide from his record whether or not
they wished him to continue in their
service. If Governor Johnson could
meet all the voters of the state and
render the account of his stewardship
as no did to the Minneapolis audience
OH last Saturday night there would be
no possible doubt of the result. IN
dependent voting was sufficient to
elect him two years ago but that in
dependent voting was at that time
largely Influenced by bitter fractional
fight in the Republican ranks. The
test this year will be greater than
than of two years ago. Will the people,
when unmoved by bitterness. so far
disregard the party name as to vote
for their own best interests? That
question will have tn be answered 10y
tho people themselves. Certainly an ex-
cellent opportunity for the exercise of
independent voting will be afforded this
fall.
has an overwhelming majority. The
Democratic Party in Minnesota this
year presents to the voters of the
state a candidate Cor governor whose
superiority over the Republican candi-
date is as overwhelming as is the Re-
publican majority. Will the test be
too great or will the people confirm all
the good things that have been said
about their political independence?
