divided but on the run and badly de-
moralized. After the fiat boys" &C.
copied the Chief Contention Of the
workers-The Tonnage TaX-the NOM
nation OF Shipstead was foregone
conclusion.
The "Simple SimOns" who believe
that " big business" will give US bet
ter government than the organized
farmers and working men have a
choice of candidates. They can vote
for Frankson, lverson, Preus, or Ellis
worth or win ThOs. Keefe, but Ship
stead is likely to get more votes than
all Of them.
I notice that Jake Preus still hangs
onto his job as State Auditor while
running for Governor. "A bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush," is an
old saying that Jake evidently re-
members
Capt. Geo. MallOn who is running
for Lieutenant Governor is winning
golden opinions wherever he speaks.
The soldier boys are backing him to a
man as we'll they might for he proved
at the front that he was the bravest
OF the brave.
Don't forget Honest Tom VolIom,
candidate for Secretary of State. Mr..
EOllOm is a farmer boy who educated
himself He is clean and decent and
fully qualified in every way for the
job.
Julius Scllamhl has withdrawn from
the race for Governor, but he didn't
advise his friends to vote for Preus
and most Of them will likely support
FranksOn or lversOn.
THE Fair Tax Association" which
is flooding Minnesota papers with
| paid articles against a Tonnage Tax
| don't dare to say which candidate for
| Governor it favOrs. Bnt it is a safe
guess that it don't want Shipstead.
In marking your ticket don't forget
Farmer Ostby for Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner. Mr.. Ostby has
made a special study of the subjects
and matters that this commission has
to consider and is therefore we'll quail
flied for the position.
\ "backslider" in religion and in
politics is a mighty poor leader His
actions show that he has no moral
stamina or character. is willing to
yield his judgment to the domination
Of stronger minds or is easily influ-
enced. The renegade Leaguers who
have come from North Dakota to worn
Minnesota farmers of the awful evils
OF Townleyism can take a hint from
| this observation.
If you hear a fellow denouncing the
| TOWnley made laws of North Dakota
! just ask him what business he follows.
In nine cases out Of ten he is graf
ter in one line or another and that is
the class that is doing most of the
bowling, as little investigation will
| discover.
Every reform movement of the
| world has been more or less handi-
| capped or retorded by impractical
radicals who insisted on following
wrong methods. In 1859 John Brown
! seized the Federal Arsenal at Harpers
Ferry for the admitted purpose of
arming the slaves against their mas
tiers. He thought if he put arms in
| their hands the negroes would free
! themselves. His way of abolishing
| slavery was not approved and he was
| caught and hung. but we still sing,
His soul goes marching on"
| The Twenty-irst Of June, only a
little more than week from now
will be a red letter day in the history
of the reform work in Minnesota Let
nothing keep you away from the polls
on that day; if there is a full turnout
of voters the privileged classes that
| have SO long ruled this state will
meet their Waterloo, and the great
| plain common people will come into
their own. Vote the whole labor en-
dorsed ticket straight not forgetting
| the candidates for congress along with
| the others.
