A WORD WITH VOTERS

Voters, your attention a mo-
ment, please. Next Tuesday a
president, congressman, sta e
and county officers are to be elect
ed. During the campaign just
closing The Herald has endeav-
ored to set before you the issues
at stake in an honest, straight
forward way. All The Herald
asks now is that you go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote
your honest convictions. Do
not be influenced by scheming
politicians seeking to accomplish
selfish ends. You have read in
telligently, in fact more careful,
conscientious reading has been
done this year than ever before
In national campaign. You are
not saying much, voters, but you
are doing much hard, conscien-
tious thinking. The Herald has
tried to help you to arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion. Th e
Herald hopes you will see things
in the right light. The Herald
fully believes that the average
voter, after having carefully can.
vassed the situation, will throw
his influence and his vote to the
Progressive party and it's canli-
dates. No greater crisis has con-
fronted this country since 1861.
and no greater moral force has
existed in public life than the
Progressive party. It needs
your support and solicits it re-
gardless of previous party affilia-
tions. All signs point to a great
victory for the Progressive par
ty next Tuesday. Will you help
make it unanimous?

last. Do not forget this, voters,
when you are in the booth.
Place an ''X" opposite the name
of the presidential nominee for
whom you wish to vote. A
proper place is provided for this
mark. Make no mistake. The
state ticket is long and compli-
Gated affair. First come the
names of the senatorial nominees,
then the congressman at-large,
then those for the Office of COVER
nor. The name of P. V. Collins,
Progressive nominee for COVER
nor, appears last in the list of
nominees for governor. Then
follow tie other state officers.
The county ticket carries the
name of the nominees for sixth
district congressman, followed
by the nominees for county Of

and acquaint yourself with it be-
fore voting. Then make the

and you will have done your full
duty. Vote for Roosevelt, Col

Wants Roads Fixed

Editor Herald: Every body is talking
about good roads and l would like to
say few words. If the hills that are
sandy were fixed up the public would
be greatly benefited. Many of these
are full of chuck holes in addition to
being quite sandy. Why not cement
them from bottom to top? That
would, / believe, be great and per-
manent improvement.
ANTON NELSON

Here are some of the things Mr..
Sharkey stands for: stated by himself:
A two-cent passenger fare, with
lower express rates for Minnesota.
Better facilities for track loading,
and for car lot deliveries.
More economy and higher efficiency
in the matter of grain inspection.
Revising and adjustment of freight
rates to prevent unjust discrimina-
tion against the country districts,
thereby enabling these communities
to secure the advantages of their To-
cations.
Rather than persecute or aDtago-
niZe the railroads without which our
vacant la nds and resources have no
value--I would deem it more expedi-
ent to strive for genuine equilibrium
between agriculture, industry and
commerce, to the end that we may
all enjoy bigger and better Mime
sofa.
Obviously, with 25 years continuous
railroad service ..as operator, station
agent and travelling auditor, together
wi tn ten years since in business for
m yself- during which ] served the
public as,alderman, secretary of the
Commercial Club and president of
Board of Education-I have gained a
valuable experience which, if elected,
/ shall exercise impartially for the
best interests of all the people of
Minneiota.

AS TO THE TARIFF


Voters will do we'll to consider
the tariff question before Novem-
Der 5, if they have not already
done so. The Herald reprints
herewith the gist of the tariff
declarations in the party plat
forms, as follows:
Republican-We reaffirm our
belief in a protective tariff.
Some of the existing import
duties are too high and should
be reduced.
Democratic-We declare it to
be a fundamental principle that
the Federal Government has no
right or power to impose Or COL
lect tariff duties. except for the
purpose of revenue.
Progressively protec tive
tariff that shall equalize n
ditions of competition between
the United States and foreign
countries, both for the farmer
and tn e manufacturer, a n d
which shall maintain for labor
an adequate standard of living.
No industry deserves protection
which is unfair to labor. Fair
dealing toward the people re.
quires an immediate downward
revision. We recommend non
partisan scientific tariff commits
sion. We condemn the Payne
Aldrich bill as unjust to the
people. We demand the repeal
of the Canadian reciprocity act.
There you h a v e the tariff
question in a nutshell. T h e
Democratic contention is for free
trade. And free trade means
the lowering of the wages of the
American laborer to the level of
cheap foreign labor. And that
means soup houses and Coxey's
armies.
The Republican party argues
for reduction along certain
lines. If Taft is reelected, the
selfish interests that stole the
nomination for him at Chicago
will not permit any lowering of
duties on their products. I'm
aglne Standard Oil, the Steel
Trust, the Beef Trust, the Sugar
Trust, and all the other combin-
ations h.a stand in solid
phalanx behind William Howard
Taft, urging any reduction in
duties on what they manufac-
ture. 1t is to laugh.
The Progressive party believes
in a protective tariff but would
levy only such duties as would
give due protection to American
industries and at the same time
protect American labor against
cheap foreign labor. The Pro
gressive party proposes to see
that the proper proportion of
profit finds it's way into t h e
pockets of t h e working man.
The Progressive party also pro-
poses to stand by the farmer by
abolishing the unjust and dis
eliminating Canadian reciprocity
act.
Agriculture and labor know
where to look for friends and
are going to support the Pro-
gressive ticket.

son and "P a IS Prosperity
