some IF the reasons why we appeal to
you for the support of the Republican
candidates in the election soon to
come. 1s,r III o. H. ss&a. "a NJ.
We have no quarrel with the Demo.
Gratis as individuals-they have been
-usy enough at that business in their
own ranks. The nominees, as far as
am able to learn, are nice lot OF
good citizens, but then you know good
citizens will be useful in private life
after election. The Democratic NOM
inees, like all other good Democrats,
seem to have only one real bad point
about their political makeup. Their
hearts are usually right but they seem
to have mania for picking and mark
ing the wrong ballot on election day.
Their late unpleasantness held in Min
neapolis may we'll be termed an avia-
ton meet, for they have been in the
air ever since and are not likely to
alight on terra-firma until after Nov.
Sth, when they will alight with that
old time dull, sickening thud which
you have heard about. You remember
Anderson tried in vain to introduce
mild resolution on County Option and
how he was howled down and refused
| vote on his proposition. Mr.. Gray,
the Democratic candidate for governor,
is now out on a county option plat
form, although the resolutions adopted
| by the Democratic state convention
on the liquor question, re-apportion-
ment and other state issues are about
as meaningless and ineffective as any
thing could possibly be. They remind
me of the resolutions of town council
down in Pennsylvania community.
! The city fathers decided that the time
had come for the erection of new
| jail, so they adopted the following
resolutions:
1st-Resolved by this council that
we build a new Jail.
2nd-Resolved that the new Jail be
built out of the materials of the old
Jail.
3rd-Resolved that the old Jail be
used until the new Jail is finished.
| The Democrats of Minnesota are GER
tainly in bad mix-up, not agreeing on
the issues, and their platform is about
as meaningless as the Jail resolutions
of the Pennsylvania town council.
On the contrary, the Republican
party of Minnesota is reunited
party. AS individual members of the
party we may hold some different
| views on certain things, such as how
best to conduct campaign, etc., but
in the main and on the whole the Re-
publicans of the state stand for the
ticket nominated and the platform
adopted.
Re-Apportionment.
We have declared for re.apportion'
ment, and interpret re~apportionment
in this instance to mean that the peo
pie of any section of the state shall
have equal legislative representation
with the people of any other section
of the state, regardless Of whether
they are engaged in wheat raising
dairying, manufacturing or iron min
ing. The matter Of re-apportionment
of legislative representation has been
too long delayed, but the responsibility
for the delay cannot be truthfully
charged entirely to the Republican
party. During the last session, Re
publican senator introduced a reap
portionment bill and on q roll cal
every one of the Democratic senators
is in number-voted against it
Had they voted in favor of the meas
ure it would have passed. Many Of
those same senators were delegates
in the late Democratic state conven
ton and are candidates for reelection
Can the friends Of re-apportionment
have any hope of aid from Democratic
sources? Re-apportionment is only
simple justice and if the next legis,a
ture is Republican / sincerely expec
the pledge of the party in this particu
lar, to be fully redeemed.
Roads, Consolidated Rural, Schools ane
Agricultural instruction.
The Republican platform has de
clared for one mill tax for publ,
roads, for consolidated rural school!
and for the extension of manual train
ing and agricultural instruction. Ii
a large measure these three thing!
should be considered together. NJ
expenditure of money judiciously used
could add more to the value of farm
real estate and consequently the tax
able property of the state, than an ex
d penditure for the improvement O.
the country highways. and sincerel,
hope to see the next legislature paw,
the way for liberal state aid in thl
matter. With improved highways W,
will at once increase the settlement
of our communities, instead of havin,
one family on each section or hal
section-as is now the case in man,
portions Of the state-we would 500
have one family on every quarter sec
ton or 80-acre tract More settler
would mean improved social condi
tions in the farm communities, bette
telephone service, better mail service
better schools, better church advant
ages more social gatherings for til
