That pamphlet could be had at all
Republican headquarters.
Or was it because of his mistake
that bill signed by him was not
the bill passed by the Legislature?
Thus new measure believed voided
in favor of corporations. Smells fishy
This might be the reason.
Or was it because his office-hungry
AK removed the humble scrub women
and poorly paid office girls?
Or was it because that he led pa
rades in pants that had stripes rum
ming up and down instead of round
and round?
Or was it because he signed law
providing that Sheriffs may receive
and recognize bids on farm fore
closures in advance of sales; max
ers of said bid need not be present?
A great help for the rich.
Or was it because before election
he promised employment to youth
and the unemployed? But after cleo
ton there was more unemployed than
before
Or was it because his administra-
ton saved the dairy industry and put
the puller of teats on easy street with
the slogan: Drink More Milk, Eat
More Butter?"
Or was it because, he against the
wishes of the majority, squeezed out
Wenzel from the Conservation de-
partment?
Or was it because that he signed
the Small Loan Bill, legalizing SO
percent interest year on small loans
below $500? More picking for the
rich, another slam at the poor.
Or was it because he masqueraded
before Danish Royalty dressed up as
a conductor?
Or was it because he had passed
the Civil Service law that reeks of
a spoilsman's political machine? Sure
ly not what labor wanted
Or was it because that slot machines
flourished in Dakota county while he
was the county attorney?
Or was it because Minnesota's in
come tax declined from Sl1,9OO,OOO
in 1888, to S9,358,O in 1899? A
difference of over two and a quarter
million dollars. That might be the
reason.
Or was it because his administration
required the poor who lost their
farms to the Rural Credits from de-
pressiOnS, drouthS, and grasshOppers,
no fault of their own; in order to
buy the farm back must PUNK down
One-third in cash? None on terms
of this kind can buy back the dear
old home; another chance for the
rich.
Or was it because in the campaign
he said, 1--WE will respect both in let
ter and in spirit the veterans pre-
ference law?" But in respect to his
policy he chloroformed that after
election.
Or was it because he talked like
Floyd B. Olson, looked like Olson and
acted like Herbert Hoover? Perhaps
that is a good reason
Or was it because? No, is surely
could not be because his Smear fund
of $4,000 failed to cover up the
splendid Farmer-Labor record.
Or was it because he left no stone
unturned to remove from office HAL
mar Petersen and Charles Mum,
Farmer-Laborites on the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission that he could
not get at with his made to order
Civil Service?
Or was it because he was elected
from the reception line in which he
did not belong when he journeyed
to Winnipeg to make headliners in
looking over the British King and
Queen?
Or was it because he put through
a labor relations bill that was respon-
sible for So labor disputes in 80 days?
A record-breaker for Minnesota.
Or was it because, in 1888, Mime
sofa was one of the Nations Bright
Spots" now it is heading for the Ma
tons Tough Spot?" The income tax
proves that.
Or was it because in Minnesota the
Republican party hangs onto life by
a mere thread and ''Mammon'' con-
tinues to reign?

President Roosevelt: "a most engag-
ing smile, pleasing voice and mag
netic personality mask the most
ruthless President the United States
has ever had?" (The above words
give the finest description yet on rec
ord in Stassen's own BEHALF But
l am sure what he said about Roose-
welt, hit home with the U. S. Junior
Chamber of Commerce
Or was it because, when he at
tended the convention of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, he said: 81
do not believe that the Republican
party should try to win the election
just on basis of an attractive plat
form?" No one knows better than
StaSsen, he has tried it and found
that winning on a platform of that
kind it is ever so much harder to
double-cross the people.
