The democrats are working over
time shouting for the insurgent re-
publicans- solely to encourage
stampede from the republican ranks
if a standpatter politician is running
for reelection. Their isolicitude for
the republican party at the present
time is real touching. In minnesota
they want it to be so touching as to
give the democrats for state Office a
chance. However, the Kitchen
Cabinet will have a hard task on its
hands if the republicans put up the
kind of ticket they should put up.
1t is simply up to the republicans, to
drop all jobbing and put up the men
people want. The Ninth district
wants AL Kaiser for state treasurer.
