DEMOCRATS SILENT
ON HUGHES FIGURES
No Answer TO c. w. Farnham's
Claim Of 300 Electoral
Votes Easily.

Democratic national headquarters
maintained n discreet silence yesterday
In the face OF n claim Of e. w. Farm
ham, the Hughes tour manager, that
900 electoral votes are certain for The
Republican candidate. As studiously
reticent were the Wilson managers
when asked to discuss the opinion OF
Brig. Gen. Enoch II. Crowder that the
Mexican invasion constituted an act OF
war.
Thls4llcncc. however. was broken for
the imparting Of statistics favorable to
President Wilson In college polls. There
was no backwardness in givinS out the
letters OF men who had supported
Theodore Roosevelt or the Republican
ticket and now have suffered a change

any hesitation In relating how many
organisations have combined 10 make n

state and city for Wilson and eabury
Aside from the official spokesmcn
there were Wilson workers who fel'

agance In the Farnham lain They
id insist. however. that Ohio mould be
taken out OF 'he Republican column
Hone still abides in the Democratic
! breast that New York will swing toward
Wiison and thus upset the balance OF

League is to keep its flying squad in

Why We Like Ii.
Gov. Burnquist

We like to see man tackle his work with spirit
and perform his duties up to the full measure Of his
ability That is the thing about Governor Burnqust
that we most admire Probably no other governor the
etate has had-certainy governor in recent years
has so often attracted the particular attention Of
The people of Northern Minnesota. His work on the
All Minnesota Development association, his actions
with reference to strike conditions on the ranges and
various graft Investigations have given the people Of
This section opportunity to study the man. He
sives the impression Of always having the situation
well in hand and Of knowing exactly what should be
Done There is nothing dilatory about his methods
ana no suspicion Of tmidty uncertainty in his
DECISIONS He seems to like his job, and to be so
ansy being governor Of Minnesota that he hasn't
much time to spare worrying about politics. We are
rather fond Of Governor Bsrnquist~ Grand Rapids

A F. lse Issue

The Democratic campaign has been framed on the
catch phrase Wilson kept out of war;"
It is not true.
Under constitution, the only power that can
declare war is Congress. The President cannot de-
clare war.
But the President can, by his policy, place our
country in position where war IS inevitable If the
opposing country accepts the challenge.
Did Wilson keep out Of war with Mexico?
We invaded Mexico, bombarded and captured sysFera
Cruz and would have been in war II the Mexican
Government had fought back.
We sent an army into Mexico and It Is still there
IF the Mexican Government dared to pit its army
against there would Be war now. Il Il not Mr..
Wilson's fault that We are net at war.
And yet these invasions 81 another country have
produced no results to make ID proud
Did Wilson keep Us out Of war with any European
nation?
Not at al.
No European nation would fight us. The Same
condition kept ont Of war that kept Holland out
Of war and Switzerland, and Sweden and Norway,
and Denmark None Of them wanted 70 get into war
and neither did the United States. No nation IN
volved II the European struggle wi.h1d . add = u

ministration, Is complicated cumbersome and inn

The Real Issue

When the European war is ended and the read
justn,ont CT conditions comes, America will need
line of defense which will be less important than
the army and navy. It will be the defense Of our
producers against the competition Of other countries
where prices low and the standards Of living are
not up to those Of America.
There IS only one party, and that IS the Republi-
party, which stands always for the protection Of
American farmers and American trade.
On this question the Republican party deserves the
support Of every man who produces and who labors.

John P. Mattson,
Warren, Minnesota.
Dear Friend:
[ trust the voters in your county will turn out
in good force at the coming election and cast their vote
for Hughes Fairbanks, Kellogg, and Stevenson. In
view of the great Importance of getting rid of the free
trade tariff of the Democratic Party as the
in Europe over in order that our farmers and manu-
acurers may be suitably protected it is very essential
that we elect Mr. Hughes President and support him
with majority of Republicans in both Houses of Con-
gress. Wilson and the Democratic Party as you know
stands for free trade We have not felt the effects of
their tariff law we otherwise would on account of
the European and the high prices resulting there
FROM but the moment the war is over under the Dem
ocratc tariff law, will be confronted by worse con-
ditions than we had under Cleveands last admnisra-
ton sincerely hope that all the Republicans in your
county will rally to the polls and give good big vote
for the entire Republican ticket
Yours truly
