COMMENDS ACTION OF
HON. HALvOR STEVENSON
Rainy River Region Tells OF Desired
Legislation for Northern Part
OF County.

The Rainy River Region contains
the following article concerning the
action of Congressman Stevenson in
introducing bill for the relief of SET
tiers along the northern part of Bel
trami county. Everyone will agree
with the people of Spooner and
Baudette-that they know best what
is good for their locality, and any
move that will assist in the develop
ment of that locality will receive
the cordial support of the Pioneer.
This, from the Region:
This message from our Con-
gresham who had devoted so much
time and thought to the drainage
matter, has the proper ring.It demon
strates that he has the best inter-
ests of the settlers at heart, and is
ever ready to take quick action on
any reasonable and fair demand.
1t is impossible that congress-
man should know the needs and re.
quirements of all his constituents in a
district as large as that represented
by Mr.. STEVENSON, but when he is
at times ready to hear their petit.
tions, and consider their wants and
interests, he is then truly a repre-.
sentative of the people.
Senators Nelson and Clapp have
responded just as promptly, and
have promised 10 do all in their
power to remedy the hardships com.
planned of by the settlers, and with
such champions of our cause in both
houses of congress we may feel GER
tain that something will be done be.

Has the Republican Can

The New York Evening Post, a Taft
organ, says:
How much Mr.. Bryan has profited
by his years of travel and campaign
ing appears clearly in his speech
Of acceptance. 1t has the earmarlls Of
the man accustomed to addressing the
nation on public affairs, and is not
lacking in ability and shrewdness.
He has had the wisdom to oonfine
it to readable limits, and its vigor
and clearness of diction, it must be
confessed, contrast most favorably
with the ponderous style and the tire
some length of Mr.. Taft's Cincinnati
address.
THAT the Nebraska fencer Is quick
on his feet, and a; ease in the tour
ney, has been apparent from the be-
ginning. He is not lacking in self
confidence, and is not afraid to take
the lead.

AN EP|TOME Of
BRYAN'S SPEECH
AS Democracy's Thrice
Called Leader.
RECOGNIZES DEBT TO PARTY
The Vital Question: "Shall
the People Control Their
Own Government"

The following are brief extracts
from Mr.. Bryan's speech Of accept
ance:
"a third nomination, the result of
the free and voluntary act of the vo-
tiers of the patty, can only be explain
ed by substantial and undisputed
growth in the principles and policies
tor which !, with a multitude of
others, have contended."
mo matter which way we turn:
no matter to whEt subject We adj
dress ourselves, the same question con-
fronts us: Shall the people con-
troi their own Government, or shall
the representatives of predatory wealth
prey upon a defenselcss public while
;he offenders secure immunity from
subservent Officials whom they raise
70 powr bp INSCRIPTIONS me- hods?"
"The Democratic party seeks no.
revolution, but reformation. That
there are abuses which need TO be
rem5 died, even lie Republican candi-
date admits. That his party is unable
10 remedy them, has been fully dem
onstrated during abe las, 10 years"
"If | am elected l shall regard the
declarations Of the Democratic plat
form as binding upon me. And
may add that a platform is binding
as 20 what IT omits as well as to what
it contains"
Il charge that the Republican party
is responsible for all the abuses that
now exist in the Federal Government,
ant that II is impotent to accom-
plish the reforms that are necessary"
so long as the Republican party
remains in power IL Is powerless to
regenerate itself. 1t cannont attack
wrongdoing in high places without
disgracing many of its prominent
members, and it, therefore, uses OPP
iates instead of the surgeons knife"
1.-The Republican leaders, even in
the face of an indignant public, re-
fused 20 consent to law which would
compel honesty in elections as to
campaign contributions and eXpendi-
lures. Mr.. Taft he's been driven to
apologize for his convention, and de-
clare himself in favor Of "a publicity
law. And yet, if you will read what
he says on this subject, you will find
that his promise falls far short of the
requirements of the situation"
an this contest between Democracy
OH the one side and plutccracy on the
other, the Democratic party has TIA
ken its position on the side of equal
rights and invites the opposition Of
those who use politics to secure spec
ial privileges and governmental favor
Edsm."
THE Democratic party charges the
Republican party with being the
promoter of present abuses, the OPP
ponent of necessary remedies and the
only bulwark of private monopoly"
1.-THE Democratic party is not the
enemy of any legitimate industry or
of honest accumulaI, lens. It is, on
the contrary, a friend of industry,
and the s,eadfast protector of that
wealth which represents a service To
society,""
1.-THE Democratic party does not
seek to annihilate all corporations;
1t simply asserts thai, as the Govern
ment creates corporations, it must
re; ain the power to regulate and con-
trol them, and that it should not per-
nit any corporation to convert it.
