nation? OF course you do not. and
10 my opinion I am sure that the
coming election will re-af1rm the
peoples faith in the republican
party as the natural friend of all
classes of people. business man and

Mr.. Taft next devoted his atten-
tlon to Bryan's charge of extrava-
gance in administering the Affairs of
this nation. He showed conclusively
that the charge was groundless
He wished Bryan would specify Just
where he would curtail expenditures.
Part of the increase in expenditure
Is for the navy, and Bryan says he is
In favor of an adequate navy. He
would not dare to say anything else
to the people of the Pacific coast,
where they are greatly in favor of
big navy. although he may talk
differently to the farmers of the
middle west. A large share of the
increase goes to pay salaries of addi-
tlonal employees in the post office
department.. mostly rural mail
carriers. and would Bryan curtail
that branch Of the service? Outside
the rural mail service the post office
department is practically self sus-
tanning.
Being reminded that his time was
up. Mr.. Taft closed with a humorous
allusion to his candidacy. and amid
cheers was escorted back to his train.
Mr.. Taft made decidedly good i'm
preston both bv what he said and by
his pleasing manners. and the state
OF Minnesota. and the Red River
Valley in particular. will roll up
big majority for him on Nov. 3rd.
After Mr.. Taft's departure the
people repaired to the auditorium.
where more republican enthusiasm
was stirred up by United States
Senators Nelson and Clapp. Mr..
Clapp was introduced first and made
a s5irring speech. the best we have
ever heard him make. He was in
good form and voice. and went after
the Bryan vagaries with hammer
and tongs. Bryan says. "Let the
people rule.' "There is no land
under the sun where the people have"
ruled as in this land of ours during
the past years." said the Senator.
Twelve years ago Coxey's army was
on the march. SOUP houses fourished,
and bats built their nests in the
factory chimneys. All this was
changed when the Republicans again
got In control of the government.
A long list of glorious achievements
since 1897 was enumerated. Senator
Clapp declared the so called "big
stick" was nothing more than the
will and purpose of the American
people reflected thru their repre-
sentative President Roosevelt. 1t
has been welded against dishonesty
and corruption in public and private
life. and in the industrial and COM
mercial life. There has been
moral up]ift and transformation in
the whole country. Bryan's
guarantee of bank deposits scheme
was 1iddled. and the charge that last
congress was a "do nothing con-
gress'' was disproved. On a rough
road the breeching is as necessary as
the breast plate. and it takes more
courage to call halt than to order
charge. BRYAN wanted a panic last
fall. as it would have been valuable
political asset to him. The dis
astrous consequences to the public
did not concern him. Taft and not
Bryan is the logical heir to the
Roosevelt policies. and the American
people would send him to the White
House to continue and extend these
policies.
Senator Nelson made a heart to
heart talk to his old friends and
pioneers of the val]ev. of whom
there were many before him. He
said that he still lives on the home
stead on which he filed Oct. 10, 1871.
He paid tribute to the thrift:
economy perseverance and prudence
of the early settlers. Who have done
