where enabled to lay away something
if they are so inclined and to have,
and keep according to their ability to
lay away. But we must play fair, or
this meeting on common ground will
80 for nix and We, shall have failed to
crush the wonderful monster with
many tenticles.
1870 Republican Keynote sounded.
Under this heading we read, Each
speaker called Il ttenti0n to the spirit
Of unrest iffSsthe land and declared it
must be conlbatcd by removing, as far
rs possible, the causes of such unrest"
Never were trucr words than these
printed in file Saint Paul Dispatch"
but, from the. same platform Lieuten-
ant Governor FranksOn made
plea. for the repeal Of the primary law
as It relates to the nomination and
election Of candidates for judges, coun-
ty officers, and meberS OF the legisla-
ture. A e..
"There are but two parties in the
country today, declared w. |. Nolan.

say, zone is the party of 'America
First and the other party of TO hell

l",.er parry we have tolerated too
long,, says he Thissso,mds'all right
but how about the party whose men,
bers are pledged to their party first
and to he'll with anything anywhere
that intcrferes with that, party?
On the, same day Governor @Burnquist
Mt Seattle tells us, This threatening
menace is now Americas greatest peril.
Every effort should be made to elm
mate it in peaceful manner. The
governor is decidedly right in this but,
at the same time, I'VE find that his
legislature is trying to pass a Bill for
an armed motor corps to crush meet
ings, that may take exception. to pOliA
ccs of his party. Can we locate any
thing Of the peaceful manner about
this? Il, will say no.
On the same day we read OF men,
bers Of the G. o. p. Great Old Pre-
tenders) in Washington wasting good
time and considerable Of the {public's
money, in their wonderful debate as
to whether or not President Wilson
shall or shall not eacceptKa book pre-
scented to him bv a. people overflowing
with gratitude BECAUSE they have at
last found man big enough to give
"the best there is in him" for. what 1t
is really worth-nit inFdollars but in
principle = 5sfs
In another part Of the White House,
we find Mr.. Hcncy telling, us the pack
ers received their start toward their
DONNA ton of fhe. food markets thru
debates granted by the railroads. This
gave them such al advantage over
their competitors. he states, that they
soon obtained control !, of meat and
meat products. Government regulation
Of the meat industry. he tells us, is in
advisable because the regulated have
habit Of appointing the REGULARS"
themselves. H. sS IL
In the face Of all this, isT3it any
great wonder after all thatawe' find
man in Bismarck, practically an out
slider; dubbed a socialist by AZ great
many 4 people,, telling, our legislature
that if they fail TO pass@his = bills

that this state of affairs has, come
about. and, only could come about. by
trying to crush this unrest bysbigNstick
methods, or, in other wOrds, stepping

We must elect more men WHO so ito

for party alone. 1 would like to

cd by hard-hcaded, old Doctor Crane
of Saint Paul Dispatch fame iwith
Everett True as head sheriff. be-

all of the people in that state could
live and thrive and spend or save and
