How Shall We Vote?

Editor Tribune: The election is close
at hand and one must make up his mind
how to vote. AS member of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee it has
been my lot to canvass with the view of
ascertaining what the situation is in
this county. I find that most peculiar
situation exists. A number Of voters
declare, that up to this late date, they
are at sea, and hardly know for whom
to vote for certain offices. While it is
true that voters do not follow party
lines as closely as formerly, I find how
ever, that the greatest number still
have the Grand Ola Party at heart,
aaa ~oq4 are W VH9ry TO by INIT
that times could not be better than they
are at present, and that in reality there
is no cause for q change; It is also

CARDS the. state ticket, I find that the
wounds from the conflict before the

at said primary election. In the heat

the fight on Governor Eberhart. He had

eager to win and each having friends
who were even more eager than the can
didate himself, and the result was that
things were said that ought not to have
been said, having no foundation. That
there existed no real foundations for
these attacks are plainly seen now af-
ter the smoke has cleared away from
the battlefield. The opposing candidates
have Withdrawn their ATTACKS, and many
of their friends have done likewise. In
place of criticism and aouse Eberhart
is now receiving praise His stand on
county option two years ago, which has
been so much criticized, appear now to
have become popular, or at least not
very Objectionable and the editor of the
Willmar Tribune, who has been, a
strong champion Of a county option
cause, seems no longer to have any OBJ
lection to candidate for not declaring
for county option, and in a recent issue
Of his paper states that he will sup
port the democratic candidate even If
he has not declared for county option.
Now then, in view of this fact, what
are we republicans going 10 do? Ought
we not to support our own candidates
inasmuch as they are at least as good as
the others if not better? 1t seems to
me we ought to-
United we stand, divide we fall.

Effective.

At "drst night in a Paris theater
recently one of the scenes showed a
funeral procession crossing the stage.
AS she was about to leave the wings
and pass across the stage one Of the
"mourners," girl, thought Of some
thing funny and her face became
wreathed in smiles and she giggled
happily.
The stage manager was furious.
''Take a franc off that girls salaryy'
he hissed
The startled "mourner," just making
her entrance, burst into tears Of dis.
may and sobbed lamentably all the
way across the stage. The critics said
it was triumph of realism.

PEOPLES RIGHTS NEGLECTED. : -
BY THE PRESENT GOVERNOR
Democratic Governors Reduced Railroad Rates and Eberhat
Saw Them Restored Without Raising His Voice.
FAILED TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER GOVERNORS
Minnesota Pays Higher Passenger and Freight Rates Than
Any Of the Neighboring States

When John Lind was governor,
backed by an efficient railroad com
mission, freight rates were reduced.
John Lind was the first Democratic
governor Of Minnesota in forty years.
With Lind out of Office, scarcely had
his successor taken his seat and new
commission been installed. when the
rates were restored.
After long period of railroad domi.
nation the people elected John A.
johnson, another Democrat, az gov.
ernor.
He Immediately set himself to the
task of arousing public sentiment
that would compel another rate re-
duction. How we'll he succeeded was
shown in reduction Of passenger
fares from 8 to cents, and the in.
stalIation of lower merchandise and
commodity rates on the railroads Of
Minnesota.
But Johnson died and Eberhart be
came governor. With a weak and
complacent man in the governors
Office and with a railroad commission
serving masters other than the PEG
pie who created them, the new rates
on both passengers and freights, were
taken from the people. Since ther
these cases have dragged their weary
way through the courts.
People Paying More.
On passenger fares alone the people
OF Minnesota have been paying 81, 00t
more every day to the railroads O
| Minnesota than when John A. John
\ son was governor. It is not so easy
| to compute the extra cost of freight'
but the sum is simply enormous.
How about the sister states? VIII!
was Minnesota singled out by tn,
railroads for an example for othe,
states to be frightened by? In lows
rates are lower, in Wisconsin rate
are more favorable. Even the sparse

ly settled Dakotas are treated more

Eberhart Silent.
Did Governor Eberhart raise his
hand or his voice? Where was he
when the governors of all the states
affected met in New Jersey to pre-
pare a program to fight the railroads?
Did he give these governors--some of
whom were Democrats and some of
them Republicans-any comfort or
assistance?
He was campaigning the county
fairs for his denomination.
He was talking glibly of the benefits
CT agricultural education, when there
caa be no success on the farm when
the major part of the profits of the
farm 60 to the cost of getting the crop
to market.
In view Of these undisputed facts,
having In mind the Scent fare, re-
Numbering the restored freight rates
that experts have shown to be prac.
tieally eonfiseatory, what are the peo-
pie Of Minnesota going to do about it?
Are they going to continue in the
Office of governor one who apparently
is more careful of the railroads in.
terests than the peoples whom he has
sworn to serve?
THE ANSWER SHOULD BE
PLAIN. THEY ARE GOING TO
PUT THEIR MAN-PE1ER M. RING.

THE RAILROADS HAVE HAC

Took tho Gift Without Thanks.

The name of W. II. Alexander is
practically an unknown one in Eng
land, yet he it was who gave to the
country the enormous sum Of $4,000
for the purpose Of building the Ma
tional Portrait gallery. The only recog-
ton he asked for this muniticent gift
was that he might have an autograph
letter from Queen Victoria giving ex-
preston to the nations gratitude. 1t
is more than remarkable that up to the
time Of his death this modest request
had not been granted, and no recogni-
ton was made of his handsome gift.
It is surmised that this simple wish
was never laid before the Queen.-Pear-
sons.
