His business energies have always
been confined to that Of reducing the
cost to the consumer on the con
mon necessities Of life. He has d..
voted his time at great expense, g.
order that the burden of the people
might be lessened by the adoption Of
proper government laws. He has
never had political experience
neither has he ever been connected
in any way, shape or manner with
any political machine organization, and
refused absolutely to enter this race in
any other way than by defraying his
own expenses, in order that he might
carry on the fight single handed, and
thus, if elected, act according to his
own judgment.
/ Mr.. Lindquist has taken a strong
He advocates voting on postmasters
direct as a method Of eliminating
the congressman who are members
Of political organizations, from using
the machine postmasters for the
purpose Of keeping the power of
political organizations out Of the
hands Of the people. This fight for
the peoples rights will undoubtedly
attract national attention, for it is the
first time in the history of our coun-
try where a man has made a single
handed fight for congress, defraying
his own expenses and conducting his
campaign entirely by mail.
Mr. LindqUist claims that some Of
the newspap rs have been bought up
by the political machines and that
the people are unable to read tho
truth in any other manner excepting
by the adoption of the United States
mail. The laboring people and u .
farmers throughout this district are
wrought up ny the manner in which
the corporations and machine pol.
ticians have fought Mr. Lindquist in
this campaign, and in many cases
farmers have left their work for the
sole purpose Of campaigning and
bringing the truth of Mr.. Lindquist's
platform to the ears OF their
neighbOrs.

Be. it Resolved, By the officers and
members of Alma Lodge, No. 23s,
