The market for tobacco is more active
and there is an increased demand for
home consumption. The unfavorable
weather for packing has restricted re-
ceipts. 1t would be well for planters to
forward the remaining lots of old to-
bacco that may be on hand; but 1t is not
advisable to ship the new crop.
The grouudleaf market is more active

Writes About Sinkler's Speech
interested Hearer Asks Candidate for Congress Some
Pointed Question: Thinks He Ought to
Become Socialist

Anent the lecture delivered BY Sink
Ter last Tuesday evening few thots
have entered my mind which night be
worthy of consideration by ne voters
Of, not only Ward county, but of he
congressional district.
Mr. Sinkler states in his speech
that he is for government control Of
express companies and ETC., that
he is against predatory" wealth. He
deplores the fact that ten men in Wall
street can cause a panic at will; he
rejoiced because the big stick has
been used so vigorously and all that
sort of thing. But, is the gentleman
sincere Does he propose to put the
express companies under government
a control by going to congress as a
Republican. or does he as q Republi-
can expect to. get any legislation Of
reform; Of interest to the people, or
to check the depreciation of prela-
tory wealth. Does he propose to be
wing in the tooz party and a reform
er amongst the conservatives? What
spectacle! Just fancy Republican
parade among reformers or the devil
join the Salvation Army or ]. D.
Rockefeller turn Socialist. No Mr..
Sinkler you are on the wrong side Of
the fence. Either join one or the other
Of the reform parties or acknowledge
yourself a demagog as per your own
definition zone who by feeling the
pulse OF public opinion seeks an
ofice to feather his nest" Now l
have no personal illwill aginst the
gentleman. Never saw him only
when he delivered his lecture here in
Minot and never heard of him before.

II admired him as speaker and h<
said some very clever things. But
again, is he sincere.in being reform
! er when he declares in his platform
that he, il not nominated, will stand
by the nominee. The nominee MAJ
be very conservative. Mr.. s.. He
may be a man, whose ideas as to the
reforms you are in favor of, may be
Numerically opposite to yours. Then
would you for the sake Of the party
Throw your reform sentiments to the
winds and work for such nominee
II SO. thoughtful voters will hesitate
before sending man to represent
the min Washington for II he ever
should get the floor, make a brilliant
speech, have it printed and sent home
to the dear people" that is all his
reform work would amount to. So
Mr.. Sinkler jump over the fence and
join the refor mcamp. Plenty Of good
people here. We have Proiibitionists
and Socialists in galore and every one
Of them are sincere in their reforma-
tory aims. They may be called cranks
by some OF the conservatives but re-
member that any man who Is or 20
years ago voiced any thing in the Jay
OF reform that you now propose to
stand was called a crank so what is
the odds again I say if a reformer
came over the fence; don't stay
among such men as Aldrick, Penrose,
The Wall sire ct gang, etc, for
verify the leopard can not change his
spots.
