''The Democrats tell US that both

it should be remembered that there

REPUBLICANS HOLD
SUCCESSFUL RALLY
Attorney'Genera| Young Makes
Strong Address Devoted to
State Issues.

AAo ldAscSU duu mOSU enthusiastic
political meeting of the present
campaign was held on Thursday eve
ming OF last week. when attorney
general K. T. Young was the speak
er. Ihe opera house was filled to
overfloWing by people who had come
from all parts of the county to hear
the great apostle Of law enforcement
expound true republican doctrine.
Attorney A. N. Eckstrom presided
and introduced the speakers in we'll
chosen words. Before the meeting
commenced the Warren CITY band
PLAYED several pieces of music on the
street. and in the hall also several
selections were rendered by this
splendid musical organization.
The first speaker introduced was
attorney Mavbery. of Crookston. who
presented arguments showing the
necessity of political parties in a
government like ours. and that it
was the duty of each one to affiliate
himself with the party whose plat
form of PRINCIPLES conceded most
nearly with ones own views. Mr..
Mavberg is fluent speaker and his
speech was listened to with interest.
Mr.. Young was next introduced
and was greeted with warm applause
as he arose to speak. In clear.
logical and forcible manner he dis
cussed certain phases of the state
CAMPAIGN. The paramount issue in
this cam mDaign as far as this state is
concerned is whether a republican or
democratic governor is to be elected.
He said that he had nore but the
highest regard for Gov. Johnson. and
that as far as honesty. integrity and
devotion to public duty goes. the
two candidates were equal. Yet the
republican Dartv had nominated
state ticket this year to which no
exception could be taken and that
they were entitled to the suDport of
everv republican. He had himself
been a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor. but with
drew on the morning Of the conven-
tion when it was ascertained that
Mr.. Jacobson had bv far the most
delegates. Mr.. Young discussed
Nh Jacobson's legislative record and
showed how he had been instru
mental in passing manv laws of great
Importance and benefit to the people
of the state. especially his "Y' law
compelling railroad companies to
construct an "Y" or connecting
track at points where one road inter-
sects another. Mr.. Jacobson had
been leader in the legislature. an
advocate of economy in conducting
the public business and most stren-
uous champion at all times of the
peoples interests. He is honest.
fearless and one of the best informed
men on state affairs in the state.
Mr.. Young closed his address with
an urgent appeal for partv LOYALTY
and was loudly cheered as he sat
down. His speech was undoubtedly
the best made here Ill this campaign
and made votes for the ticket.

came alE over from Breckenridge Mon

CROWDED house Saturday evening on
bl1e 1nes lD'oliticl issues of the day. Con-
qressman Steenerson has now been

audience he ever had in any political
campaign. and the people have been
<keenly interested and very enthusi-

the line.
Congressman Steenerson makes

elsewhere.
Z Some Of the Democrats are tell

the duties from the necessaries of

situation in an interview Mondav;

necessaries of life? Some of them

would DESTROY every creamery in

the value of all farm products.
'This plan of removing duties
from the necessaries of life was
tried in the 53rd CONGRESS when
the German Wilson bill was passed.
This district was then rep1esented
bv Congressman Boen. What was
the result? Take the removal of the
tariff from wool for instance. at
the beginning of the Cleveland ad-
ministration. there were 47.OOO. 600
sheep in the United States. worth
1925. 100000. At the end of that
time. there we're only $4,000. 900.
worth $3.50. 100000. There was a re-
duction of eleven million sheep. and
a reduction of s58. 900. 600 in value.
The highest price for sheep during
that period was $l.92 and the lowest
S1.58. Udnder the Dingley bill--the
present Republican law-the prices
have ranged from $3.50 to 3d. 95.
which is the highest price ever
known for sheep in this country.
