A CAMPAIGN LEE

The private and public life of VIM.
y. Bryan is so pure and unblemished
that up to few days ago no Repub.
lican detractor had the hardihood to
lie about him. His record as the advo-
cate of the rights Of the workingman
is so iinprcgnable that no Republican
orator dared to call it in question.
During his public life he has always
been the friend of the honest, horny
handed son of toll and he it was who
accepted from Gompers and Mitchell
for the Democratic platform the plank
cn labor rejected by the Republican
bosses at the Chicago convention. At
ter his inauguration, he will appoint a
representative of labor as a member of
his cabinet and thus keep in touch
with the laboring men Of the country
as to necessary legislation for the ad-
Vancement ce their interests. The
other interests are already attended to
by the members OF the cabinet, but
those OF The laboring element are not.
The only interest manifested by the
G o. P. in tht course of labor is dur
ing presidential contest, and then it
only tries to bamboozle the laborer by
sophistries ON the tariff. The working
man. under capable leaders. has dis
covered what party it is that cares the
most for his advancement. and he is
now convinced that it is to his interest
to vote for Bryan.
The Republican spellbinders are non-
plussed and know not how to turn the
tide away from Bryan. They have
searched in vain through every public
utterance oc the famous Nebraskan to
find q single sentence against organ
ized or unorganized labor, and when
they fail =, find it they resort to for
gerry. They now charge Bryan while
In Congress with applying insulting
and offensive words to the working
men. They even give the day. month,
and year that he used them, notwitfl-

clared that Congress was not in ses-

From all Indications. Mayor Haynes
will be reelected. The candidate of
the Republican party is man without
any political experience and would
have to depend on others In govern
ing the city in the event of his elec-
ton. The government of a city is
different from that of the state or
nation and should be non -partisa n.
Mr.. Huhn as an apothecary is all right.
He knows all about pills. pestles and

ENTITLED TO LOYAL SUPPORT.

Governor John A. johnson is entitled
to the loyal support Of every Democrat
in Minnesota. 1t is we'll known that
Mr.. johnson had no desire for a third
term and that he had frequently said
sc before the Democracy of the state
in convention assembled nominated
him unanimously. After scene never
before witnessed at state conven-
standard bearer Of his party, and no
committee was appointed to notify him
OF the honor conferred, lest he might
decline the nomination. Very reluc.
tantly, Mr.. johnson responded to the
demand so unanimously made upon
him and has made magnificent cam
paign In behalf of the principles of
Democracy. In view Of these facts,
the Irish Standard calls upon it's read
ers of voting age in Minnesota to sup
port Mr.. Johnson for the third and last
time for governor.
'1SeIA DSIAVS1dSS, WIZ lOISSU LIlc
nomination on Johnson for a third
term. are his most ardent supporters,
despite the reports in the Republican
papers that they nominated him to
cruelty him at the polls. The Bryan
Democrats are honorable men, far
above such treachery. and many Of
them are now talking for Johnson
throughout the state.
John A. johnson is running on his
record. and defies his opponent to pick
any flaws in it. Cooperating with
Republican legislature, Mr.. johnson
has given the state the best admins
trations in its history, after and before
the administration of Gov. John Linl.
The people realize that fact, and will
give him their hearty endorsement
next Tuesday. Johnson has not been
the governor Of a party but the gov
ernor Of all the people, regardless of
party, and therefore men of all parties
will vote for his continuance in office
for a third term.
Some Republicans who voted for
johnson in preference to Robert A.
Dunn object to a third term. Such
men as Judge Ell Torrance think
johnson has made big mistake in
coming UP for the third time. AS IL.
ready explained, johnson would be
more than human If he did not respond
to the call Of his party. Three terms
as governor Of Minnesota is one 100
many even for Republican" ex-
claims this military gentleman. OF
course, Ell Torrance is aware that
Pillsbury of Minnesota and cummins
OF Iowa served three terms, and that
Warner Of Michigan Is now seeking a.
third term as the Republican can.li-
date for governor.
Ell Torrance says. ''it is not a very
inspiring spectacle to Republicans"
to see Gov. johnson appealing to Re-
publican voters for support while
standing on the Denver platform and
advocating the election Of Mr.. Bryan.
That may appear so to Ell Torrance,
but what else can Republicans do

J. c. HAYNES FOR MAYOR.

The contest between Haynes and
HUM for Mayor of this city is way
ing warm to the end of the campaign
and both seem to be confident of
to defeat. Which shall it be? So far
as the character and personality Of the
two candidates are concerned. the
Irish Standard will make no invidious
comparison. It favors the election CT
Haynes. because he has already besn
tried and found satisfactory. He my
not have pleased everybody, but no
one will deny that lie has done very
well, and that his administration has
been free from graft in all its depart
ments. That cannot be truthfully said
Of Republican administrations in the
past. On the whole, the city of Min
neapolis has been we'll governed dur
ing the last two years and ]. c,
Haynes is entitled to credit for 1t,
Besides giving the city an admins
tration free from graft, Mayor Haynes
has given equal justice to all ;lnd
special privileges to none" He has
been eminently fair to all classes of
people and has given a business I'd
ministration which has been endorsed
by the merchants of the city, without
any reference to political affiliations.
He has attended strictly to his Official
duties and his appointment of subordi.
mates has given general satisfaction.
Not one of them has been suspected
of wrong doing.
Mayor Haynes. during his present
term Of office, has demonstrated that
he is the friend of the taxpayers and
is not controlled by the corporations
He vetoed the appropriation for the
Nicollet Avenue bridge requested t.y
the Dan Patch Trolley line. of which
NJ. w. Savage, proprietor of the
celebrated race horse and of the In.
ternattonal Stock Food Company, is
the protector. He vetoed the Electric
Light ordinance giving the General
Electric Company thirty yea IS
monopoly. o. the streets of this city,
thus shutting out all competitors, and
leaving the people at the mercy Of
srasping. avaricious corporation. BY
that act alone, J. c. Haynes deserves
the thanks of all the people and earns
reelection at their hands. If he
fails Of reelection that ordinance will
be repassed by subservient council.
and Mr. HUM will probably acquiesce
in the action, If strong protest is not
made against its passage.
J. G. Haynes is qualified by experi-
ence gained as alderman and mayor
t. govern the city ably and we'll. His
professional training as lawyer will
enable him to detect defects in ordi-
nances like that of the Electric Com
pany. He is fearless. honest public
servant who will attend to the peoples
interest. The eulogists of Mr.. Huon
cannot boast Of his qualifications FOR
the office. for he has had no experi-
ence at all.

Next day Oscar Straus was con-
founded on reading contradiction
from John +. Lamb. in charge Of DEM
ocratic headquarters at Chicago, who
gave the exact words of Mr.. Bryan in
Congress as follows:
i protest against their being placed
before the country as beggars. They
don't ask Cor pity; they don't ask for
charity: they simply demand justice"
Will Oscar now produce his proof or
apologize to Bryan? He certainly will
do neither. That is not what he is on
the stump for. He is simply follow
ing the noble example set by his mas
ter at Washington who has no scruples
or compunction in making false state
ments that may win votes for Taft.
Instead of reprimanding Oscar for ut
terins an unfounded lie, Teddy will
slap him on the back on his return and
say to him: We'll done, thou good
and faithful servant. will promote
thee on the first opportunity for thy
barefaced lying"
His brother, Nathan Straus. will give
Oscar a warm greeting when he meets
him. Nathan is head Of the National
Business Mems Democratic league and
Is heart and soul for Bryan. He wants
nothing out OF politics, while Oscar as
an ofHceaolder is going around the
country defaming his betters. Even
VIM. H. TAFT. with all his antipathy
to laboring men. is too much of gen.
tleman to falsely accuse Mr.. Bryan of
using the language attributed to him.
We regre: exceedingly to state that
the Irish World of New York propa-
gates this lie against Bryan and tries
to make political capital out of it.
Shame upon the Irish World! In the
three campaigns of Bryan for the pres
idency, the Irish World has done its
best to defeat him on the pretense that
he favors tariff for revenue only. II
the Irish World opposed him on that
ground it has a right to do so. But
opposing him on lying charge is an
other matter; and we are sorry for its
own sake that our contemporary has
been willingly made the medium of
publishing such an atrocious falsehood
to injure an honorable man who is tho
idol Of millions of his countrymen.

When he himself was restrained
from campaigning for Taft, the Presi-
dent called upon the members of his
cabinet to go forth to the battleti I'D,

New York, Ohio and Indiana they have
been shouting for Taft all week. Root,

it must be for them to serve such a

So many Democratic votes as Roose-

one million Democrats voted for him

Now when they have man for Presi
dent in whom they repose implicit
confidence the least they might ex
pect from Roosevelt is neutrality BE-
tween the candidates But he is not
the President Of the whole people, out
OF a party, or rather of party faction,
and hence his narrow, offensive par.
tisanship. The Democrats who voted
for him in 1904 will never forgive
themselves, and glad will they be when
he steps down from his high pedestal
and retire from public life on the 4th
OF next March. If his ambition
prompts him to run again for the
presidency, after an interregnum, ne
will find but few Democrats to cast
their votes away on him. He has
prostituted the highest Office in the
gift of the people for personal and
partisan purposes, and neither DEM
ocrats nor Republicans will fail to re-
buke him.

all parties for the common good of the
country they love. When, however,
he assumes a dictatorship and ceases
