J It is said to he a historical fact that no candidate for president, who took the stump for himself, has ever been elected. If this precedent holds good in this campaign, the only candidate with a chance for election is the nominee of the Socialist-Labor ticket —he being in the Miontana state proein, can’t get out to make speeches.—South Bend Times. The recent Republican platform is a bugle call to every beneficiary of spe- « cia] privilege, to enlist again under the Republican banner, and when the election is over and the Republican ' committee publishes the list of contributors —too late to make the Infor- ’ mation valuable—it will be found that the Republican party has again so obligated itself to the protected interests as to be unable to make a revision of the tariff in the interest of the consumers.—W. J. Bryan at Des Moines. lowa. The Republican campaign committee ha s already begun the fat-frying process. The Indianapolis News, an independent Republican paper, says that “the Republican organization is made up of trust magnates, of the speaker acting through agents, of one of the speaker's representatives in dealing with the trusts, and of the rules committee which controls the action of the house.

knowing exactly what he is to get for it, or without the assurances that he will get it. Mr. Herman Ridder, of Nqw York, i editor of the Staats Zeitung. who has ' recently visited Mr. Bryan, is quoted as saying: “From careful observation I am now convinced that the Democratic national ticket will be elected this fait I told Mr. Bryan so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes. I ! neither does desire sway me in formj ing it, but it is the result cf a careful canvass made by myself and many Ifrends since the Denver convention adjourned. There will be many sur- ; prises when the result of the vote is known. I have found in every section of the country bitter resentment against Republicans, among members of their own party, because of the attitude of leaders on the tariff question.” Senator Hawkins, who is running for congress against Mr. Adair, flooded Bluffton with printed letters yesterday, telling the voters what a wonderful fellow he is, has been and will be if they will just elect him to congress. The senator has one paragraph in his letter that is absolutely funny: ( "I will not indulge in any campaign mud slinging but will leave that to my opponents. For the past eight months the partisan press of my opponent has misrepresented and maligned me personally, but as yet have not been able to point to any defects in my public or private life or record.” Holy smoke, senator, what do you call maligning’ What did you call it When 'you hired Rev. McCarty to write the letter he did for the Muncie Star* What did you call it when you caused the Sulloway letters to be printed when you knew they were false ? What did you call it when you hired Ben Patterson to go over Adair's books at $8 per day to make a report such as should suit your purpose? You know this report is not true and is being so proven every day. What do you call it when you tell people over the district that Adair Is a grafter, when you and everybody in Jay county know it

• is not so? What do you call it when you hire men to go over the district telling soldiers that Adair's father was a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle during the war and that Mr. Adair himself says mean and vicious things about the old soldiers? What was your purpose in bringing suit against the supposed drug trust in Portland and have Mr. Adair's name appear as the principal defend- | ant when you know he is not actively engaged in the drug business? Hew about the thousand and one things you and your son, Morton, have printed in such papers as the Redkey Times at so much per line; things you know are not true? Now. the trouble with you. senator, is that there is not a republican paper in the district that is tor you and you have no chance to exploit your nastiness except among a few of the boys that need the money and take yours, knowing it will do you no good. What the democratic papers have said about you is pretty nearly correct and your dog-in-the-manger tactics will not win. Why don't the Portland Review, your republican paper, come to your rescue? Haven't even mentioned your name as a candidate so far. —Bluffton Banner. NOTICE TO REPUBLICANS.

The most perfect type of colonial architecture copied from old Virginia, along side those modern in every particular, all however, surrounded by beautiful lawn as green and smooth as velvet, broken only by beds of exquisite flowers. Strange as it may seenf, in what thirtyfive years ago was considered a bleak uninhabitable country, flowers and vines grow to splendid perfection. Duluth claims finest high school building in the world. In fact. Minnesota has everywhere the very best I school buildings. And well she may., Her school fund is raised by a tax on | iron ore. ,The state gets twenty-five cents for every ton of ore that is mined. This is put into a fund and only the interest used. Eventually ’ Minnesota will be able to give every boy and girl in the state not only a' common school education, but a university course as well. A Y. M. C. A. , building erected by the women at the cost of SIOO,OOO is one of the finest in the country. Our drive took us over the brow of the hill back of the city. As we drove along swarms of foreign children ran beside the tallyho crying penny, penny. It was great fun to see them grab for the pennies as we threw them to the side of the road. At the highest point we got a bird'seye view of the city and harbor, which enabled us to appreciate the supremacy Duluth now enjoys and the magnificent future before her. Looking out over the blue waters of lake Superior, as far as eye can reach vessels of all descriptions coming and going, hundreds of them lying htj anchor in the harbor, miles upon miles of railroad track spreading out like a net work to the docks, saw mills as far as one can see along the shore, activity, hustle, hurry everywhere. An awakening to the marvelous resources of the great country to which Duluth is the gateway. Nellie M.
