When this charge was hinted at this
summer in the Hancock Record my at

stance told him l had been informed
that he was in a measure to blame for

that fashion: He told me that he did
not recollect the circumst :,1 ooG and
and make a statement in regard to the
matter. 1 told him l would and that
should put the statement into the Con-
prepared from the official records and
shown to Senator Clapp who, after read
ing it over carefully, said he was satiscc
that Men s to the Hsneoek Record
and to several people in. Morris, Not
long afterwards I was informed that
MIR. Spooner had written Senator Clapp
in regard to it inquiring if it was cor
rect Senator Clapp then had one of
his clerks go over the official record
very carefully and wrote Spooner to
the effect that my statement was cor
| rect. In this statement I called atten-
ton to the fact that Senator c1app, Con- IN
and others would recall the circum-
stances. If Mr.. Spooner had tried to
| be fair he could have secured a truthful
| statement from these parties. Hon. F.
speaking at Norris explained my share

tanned the. claims that I have made in
regard to it,

We are told that this Indian school was
an injury to western Minnesota and
that he therefor determined to get rid

A CAMPAIGN talk TO OLD FRIENDS
A PROMINENT CIVIC REFORMER OF
NATION REVIEWS ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN

President Wilson's administration is
the first to make substantial Roadway
against the "iuvisihle government"

thrLsting peoples government aside.
So intimately had llutocracy encir-
cled Senator Hanna's rtmodeleu Repub

ton.

ago the power Of plutocracy had already
grown SO great tnat his official future

been defeated at the polls, would the

would not get Wilson too?
/ To be sure, his -subernatorial admin,
istration in New Jersey offered hopeful
guarantees. And back of that were the
circumstances Of his campaign for Gov
ernor; back of which again was his
fight at Princeton for democracy in edu-
cation. But anybody can strike dem
ocratic note once in a while; it takes a
genuine democrat to carry the tune
And were those democratic notes really
a tune? or did they show ability to car.

halls for democratic music?
Tne disturbing question still remain
! =: Would Mr.. Wilson turn out to be
our democratic leader against plutoc
rlcy, as Lincoln has been against its
predecessor in perncious power? WOulC
he be genuine in spirit and also astutt

why he won the fight of his time for

We now know that thus far President
Wilson has stood the test. The large
facts of his administration proclaim 1t
and prove it.
Throughout the era of "invisible gov
over the vo"me Of the e"rTency Was
conserved under plutocratic control.
Every move regarding it was framed in
that conferred in Wall street; and when

But in spite of those interests the
Federal Reserve system OF banking was
established by the Wilson administra-
ton.
As a consequence, the currency of the
United States is now elastic for the
first time since the outbreak of the Civ
guarantees make it safe; its elasticity
depends upon no ones mere say so, but
upon the volume OF commercial credits
Corners in currency are no longer
POSSIBLE.
While the invisible government rul-
ed, as it did down to the inauguration
of President Wilson. the farmers of the
country had no borrowing facilities eX-
ctpt upon mortgages of a burdensome
kind.
Efforts were made during the era of
"invisibe government to accommodate
farmers in that respect, but plutocracy
would listen to no plans unless they
conserved the interests of bankers first

The bane of old age is constipation.
The bowels become weak and unable
to perform their functions without
aid. For this purpose only the mild
est and gentlest laxative should be
used The use of harsh cathartics

consultation worse. Chamberlain
