for Parker
As in the days of Rome, the American Republic to-day finds its young manhood its most valuable asset. It is quite natural for both of the great political parties to make a maximum effort to influence the first president of the Republic. The young man is now one of the most important and most sought individuals in the Republic. It is not beyond the range of probability that these first voters may hold the balance of power and actually decide the coming election. They are always easy to reckon the strength of this vote accurately, hence it offers a fertile field for speculation. The United States census of, 1900 gives the total male population of the United States in 1900 between the ages of 17 and 20, inclusive, as, 2,953,801. In other words, in round numbers, we can be at that age at that time, are all now eligible to cast their first vote for President. In addition, many thousand young men as immigrants have become citizens of the United States since that time. Of course a number have also died. It may not be very far wrong to conclude that the young men and three and a half million first voters now in the United States.
Of course, there is no accurate way of knowing just how these votes are proated to the different States. It is doubtless true that the safely Democratic States and the safely Republican States have something in common of course, the votes in the electoral college would not be influenced either way, but how about the effect of the first voters in the doubtful States? Past experience shows that in these States an increased suffrage in favor of one party or the other from 1 to 4 per cent, may change the vote in a stark defeat or victory for either party. It is this first vote in doubtful States that is of supreme importance. How will it be cast? For Democracy, negation—a policy destructive of all that is progressive, or shall it be for Republicanism, the great constructive business league in America known as the Republican party?
Situation and Young Man's Duty.
If it should so happen that two families of distinction should seem to lay equal claim to any young man, and if it should not, the man should which one he might cast his lot with, he would naturally look into the history of both families intelligently, diligently and thoroughly. His pride and self-interest would compel him to cast his lot with the one that showed the man the best personal and national pride, the best ability for doing things that ought to be done, calculated to be mankind; and above all, the one that looked to the future with hope and aspiration with a view of meeting the present day and complete as they might arise.
It is the duty of every young American to perform this duty thoroughly in connection with the two great political issues of the present day: the issue of the present campaign. He will find the work not only instructive, but if he investigates the records thoroughly, there cannot be a shadow of a doubt in his mind, after he has finished the work. He must have a dutyuly may lie. He should divest himself of hereditary bias and inclinations, he should attempt to lift himself out of his immediate or present surroundings and be able to face the noise, from social or family ties and investigate the thing for himself.
Parting of the Ways.
This duty is one of the weightiest that the generations of progress and the blood of this ancestors have made incumbent upon him. If he enters upon it wrongly, he not only stifles this own usefulness, but also limits part of his own life, but he fails most miserably to measure up to one of the highest opportunities ever vouchsafed to mankind. It is now too late in this progressive age to allow personal preference or any inclination of our ancestors or immediate forefathers to influence us in a work which will affect the future of mankind. In the case of virile and mankind. In the case of afflicted and a hundred million people. In these not cause for pause?
Then as Americans, as the inheritors of all that is glorious and grand in the history of the greatest Republic on earth, what can a young man find in the Democracy of his country to pride in his patriotism, his sense of duty or his idea of intelligent citizenship? All any one and conservatively-minded young man has to do is to simply commit to the last half century. What does he find? He finds that at every turn one has been progressive, constructive, patriotic; working for the general interests and welfare of humanity. The other been progressive, negation, predicting wreck and ruin of the government; standing uniformly and perpetually as an obstacle and obstruction to all measures calculated for the general good.
Party of Action.
Some of the members of the Republican party may well be contrasted with the admirie acts and obstruction tactics of the party of slavery, State rights, accession, anti-expansion, free trade and free silver. From the immortal and illustrious Roosevelt there is nothing but the unstoried achievements of the Republican
---
party. First and foremost among those many victories will forever stand that victory for which the immortal Lincoln gave his life, the abolition of slavery, the end of slavery, the stain forever from the stars and stripes. The Republican party saved the Union and gave freedom to four millions of people. For all time the victory of the abolition of slavery stands to the credit of the Republican party. The thirty-seven years later, the cry of the oppression went up from fair Cuba; her people had been ground into the dust for four centuries by Spanish greed and oppression. Another Republican President, another American martyr, came to the rescue of the Queen of the Antilles, and William McKinley freed Cuba and started her on her illustrious
First Rate Diplomats.
Pace hate her victories no less renowned than war. Scarcely a generation ago a Republican Secretary of State, with far-sight vision common to Republican statesmen, saw that the most despotic power in the world—Russia—by far was the Republican party. Be a menace to our Pacific State. Alaska was purchased by Secretary of State Seward and the Republican party; and instead of being a menace it now stands as a sentimental guarding American interests in the Northern Pacific and the Arctic. For all time the victory of peacefully accusing the credit to the credit of the Republican party.
For more than a half century past the American people have demanded a canal to connect the waters of the Atlantic with the waters of the Pacific, the great river that separates the two oceans, vicious to be dwelt upon. The advantages to the United States in time of war will be immeasurable. Of its feasibility there is no question. Of its early construction, it was the recent day when the Republican party, at the hands of the Republican President, gave to our nation the American Panama canal. For all time the victory of the Panama canal will stand to the right of the victory of the Americans we acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico we found school privileges practically non-existent. Only six years have passed, and to-day over three hundred thousand expatriates and Porto Rican students are studying the songs of freedom in the Anglo-American language. For all time the victory of inaugurating the public school system under which these children are being fitted for eventual American citizenship to the credit of the Republican party.
Builds for the Future.
Another Republican Secretary of State saw that American trade in China was a necessity, and by a series of clever maneuvers, he opened commercial open door in China. For all time the victory of the open-door policy will stand to the credit of John Hay and the Republican party.
But the immortal Lincoln was first elected President in 1820, had 123,000 factories, with 1,000,000 workers. At the present day, under the protective tariff of the Republican party, we have over 600,000 factories, with about 8,000,000 workers. For all time this industrial victory will be to the credit of the Republican party.
A FINANCIER'S ADVICE
Henry Clews, the well-known New York banker, was asked by two young men who are to cast their first vote for President this election, which is the safer candidate to vote for, President Roosevelt or Judge Parker. Some conspiracy theorists claim that Clews's answer are herewith submitted: "Your question to me was my own question to myself. I approached it as a business man, without prejudice. I sought to shut out every other consideration but one of safety—the surer safety. I asked the question as to the personal manners of the two candidates, the superficial gibles and nagings of the newspapers—all these I swept aside just as you are trying to do, so sticking to this all-important question of where is the surer safety. I found which seemed the fully indispensable facts which seemed the fully sufficient to answer it.

Gold Standard; Wise Tariff.
"You can be sure that Roosevelt and his party will treat the tariff wisely. How Parker and his party will treat the tariff nobody knows, but we all fear. With Roosevelt not being a Democrat, but with Parker and his party we can only hope for its permanence. The Democrats will vote for Gold Parker for the same reason they voted for Silver Bryan, just because they are Democrats, but the Silver Democrats repudiate Parker's gold credit. The Democrats telegraphed that he believed the gold standard to be irrevocably fixed. It is so irrevocably fixed, providing the Republican party remains in power, but not irrevocably fixed if the Democrats come into power. What could Parker do with his wild herd? He would balance the demand for them to stampee?
Safety with Roosevelt.
"We know that Roosevelt and his party will deal with the trusts seriously and vigorously, as in the past, but how Parker and his party will deal with the trusts no one knows. Roosevelt stands clearly in favor of the Northern Securities was violating the anti-trust law, he instantly ordered the most stringent investigation, and the Supreme Court decided that the law had been violated, and ordered a dissolution. We can be sure that Roosevelt will keep on in that same vigorous attitude towards the enforcement of the law." On the other hand, Parker has been very timid and tame in speaking of the trusts in his speech of acceptance. Back of that strange caution in Parker's utterances is the well-known alliance of some of the biggest trust systems to secure his election. It is absolutely impossible to predict what treatment he will give them, but it is clear that enforcement to enforce the laws against them.
"Our foreign policy is safe with Rosevelt and John Hay, but Parker and his party are likely to plunge into the unknown, with paths that lead to nowhere in particular. If Parker were elected, he would have been Hillary Clinton's president of New York, would doubtless occupy the position now so ably filled by Secretary of State Hate.
"Rosevelt and his party have always been constitutional. Parker and his party make 'constitutionalism' a mask for a lack of aggressiveness and an excuse for failure to meet public questions in an intelligent, aggressive manner. Rosevelt has never come near overriding the Constitution, and he has ever done violence to the Constitution he would have to meet the charges of impeachment. But not once has the wildest Democrat in Congress even suggested that Rosevelt was open to impeachment. When a strong man performs a great duty he does it in a prompt and decisive manner. When a strong man pleads a cruel cry, "Behold a giant who will trample us."
Open, Honest, Frank.
"As for honesty, no living man can charge Roosevelt with deceitfulness, and nobody fails to know what he is driving when he is driving, a longer time to show himself open, and aboveboard. For not his nomination, he was famous for not opening his mouth on gold. Nobody knew anything of his attitude except that he had twice voted for Roosevelt, a cause of that golden silence. After half of the convention had gone home he sent his famous telegram.
"In view of all these things," says Mr. Clews, "I think it pretty clear that it was Roosevelt and the Republican nominee for Congress than to vote for Parker and his Congressional nominee. In
after years I think you will be better satisfied with such a vote." APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. "We are young men whose political life is beginning."
whose political life is beginning:
Anyone entering business would be glad of the chance to become one of an established firm with years of success business.
Everything great done by this country in the last fifty years has been done under the auspices of the Republican party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Garfield, and the security in the heaven of fear—they are all gone, leaving small estates in worldly goods, but what vast possessions in principles, memories, sacraments associations! It is a start in life to share that wealth.
In our form of government there must be a party, but what young man would not rather belong to the party that does things, instead of one that opposes them; to the party that looks up, rather than down; to the party of the dawn, rather, than of the sunset?
In fifty years the Republican party has believed in the country and labored for it in hope and joy;
Has reverenced the flag and followed it;
Has carried it under strange skips and planted it on far-reaching horizons;
Has created every year, and more respected:
Has seen the country extend its intercourse and its influence to regions unknown to our fathers; has seen the one jot or title of the ancient law imposed on us by God-fearing ancestors. The Constitution of our fathers has been the light to our feet. Our path is, and will ever remain that of ordered progress, of liberty under the law. But we are not daunted by progress. We are not afraid of the light!
The fabric our fathers built will stand all shocks of fate or fortune.
While there will always be a proud pleasure in looking back on the history they have made, the coming generation has the right to anticipate work not less important. We who are passing off the stage bid you, as the children of Israel encamping by the sea were bidden, to go forward. We whose hands can no longer hold the fanning touch pass to you, that you may show the truth to the ages that are to come.
The Last Hope for Parker.
Eastern Democrats, who, a few weeks since, could not find words strong enough with which to express their reproduction and scorn of Mr. Bryan, are now looking as their last hope, to carry Indiana. The compliant Nebraskan has stripped off his coat and plunged in the voice laid out for him. But the voice of the Nebraskans is longer. In insincerity kills the most mighty effort. No man can win votes under the circumstances surrounding Bryan at this time. It must be a bitter pill for Mr. Bryan to resist trying to Bryan to save a pivotal State to the dying Democracy, and it cannot be a very congenial task to Bryan, the effort he is making under the party whisples. In blowing off the mask, he must stop. In from giving a solid Republican majority on election day.
Indiana is not going to join the chair of calamity howlers, republicanists, idlers and anti-everythings.
Do the people of to-day like the policies of Lincoln and McKinley—the working out of which effected the saving of the Union with Mr. Lincoln and the making it prosperous? Mr. McKinley has run the government along their policy lines in domestic and foreign affairs. The only signs of dissatisfaction come from the Democrats; and their cries are political capital—partisan faultfindings.
MR. DAVIS' FIGURES.
A Few Samples Showing Their Amazing Inaccuracy.
Assurance, without pronounced guile, marks the acceptance letter of Hon. Henry G. Davis, the octogenarian candidate of the Democrats for the Vice President, on political conditions as if they were original with him, as if he were not a human phonograph with a single cylinder that has caught the echo of Judge Parker's echo of the Democratic stunt of oratory. "The times are propitions for the reinstatement of the Democratic party in control of the government" is the phrase used by his biographical semion. The November ballots will be all "amens" to that.
Who but the Democrats will agree with him? "When the present administration went into power there was a large surplus," he declares. He imagined that. The Republicans came into power in the 1980s and were not able to administration? If so, and he means surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditures, he is in error. Mr. Cleveland's closing year of his last term showed EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUE to the state, and 2,025,144 for the wrong way. The statistics were easily obtainable; why should Mr. Davis make such a misstatement? If he meant Mr. Roosevelt's term, beginning in 1900 with Mr. McKinley, there was an excess in that year of revenue over expenditure he faced in a wrong again. In extension it may be said that the Democrats never were good nor correct figures. As, for instance, again, when he asserts that the revenues for the last fiscal year were over $40,000,000 short of the expenditure, not having authenticated the guessing, not having authenticated the 1903 the excess of revenue over expenditures was over $2,000,000. The absurdity of Mr. Davis' computations and comparisons could not be more forcibly shown than when he quotes statistics to show the cost of running the government from 1857 to 1860, when the population was 31,218,021, and put it, as an evidence of his party's economy, in contrast with our 80,000,000 population of to-day, into the estimate of the latter dumping pension accounts. Panama was 31,218,021, and by vast public improvements created and carried on solely for the benefit of the people. The age of Mr. Davis precludes his compiling such figures himself; but his anxiety for his party's success, leads him to issue them without the common consent of the public. Using his judgment as to their application to the matter he is discussing.
No one should be deceived by the figures which a Democrat offers him; for in about nine cases out of ten they will be, like counterfeit money, made to deceive.

THE "DUMPING" POLICY.
It Prevents Depression and Keeps
Our Workingmen Employed.
Democratic writers and speakers frequently try to make political capital by claiming that the protective tariff is responsible for the fact that our exporters in some cases sell their merchandise at less than prices, charged in the home market.
It is the very pool of success in all commercial ventures to hold what you have and gain what you can, and this is the same in all-highly advanced commercial nations, including England. The American manufacturer has produced more goods than he can dispose of in the home market, without disastrously affecting prices, it is always good business policy for him to try to get rid of his surplus bread athwart the market. He is indiscretely the number of men he employ and the wages he pays them. This "dumping" policy, as the Democrats call it, has again and again served depression in our home markets and has been the outfit to American workingmen. It is infinitely better that the foreigner should occasionally get goods cheaper than they can be bought at home, rather than not have such surplus sales at all, and America is not the only American workingman into serious loss in wages.
H. Clay Evans, Consult General at London, England says: "I find that manufacturers here endeavor to maintain home made products in the market, they will bid for it get it if they can without too great a loss, and thus increase the demand for their output and reduce the cost of production, without demoralizing home made."
SHAMEFUL CARTOONS.
Repreach and Ridicule for the Soldier and His Uniform.
The campaign caricaturists of President Ronald Reagan are in training enough interest to bring out the question: Is it disgraceful to fight for one's country?
It is amazing to see the uniform of a soldier of the United States army pictured in such a manner as to imply a warrior. It was once thought to be an honorable thing for a man to resign position, ease, family, independence, friends and home, and become a fighting machine to help uphold the honor and the word of
There seems to have grown up a different view of this matter. The earnest sacrifice of an American soldier is held some to such an extent that an American can be an amuse contempt a vulgar suckers in the crowd. The devoted soldier facing death for his country is, with those nameless miscreants, a sight to be guffawed over, something to be distorted into a laugh-ridden earton. It is a glorious sight of the yellow press the stainless sword of Washington is but a clown's hamble. To them the stern devotion of a soldier's experience is a farcal episode in a man's career, something to be distorted into a thing to be once it was written: "It is sweet and plious to die for my country." The yellow rendering is: "THE OUTSIDE AND REDICULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONE'S COUNTRY."
Such creatures would write in their books, if they ever wrote books. "It is grotesque and ridiculous to die for one's country."
The yellow rendering is:

BOOMERANG FIGURES.
DANGEROUS MATERIAL IN THE
HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Comparisons Showing How that Party Increased Government Expenditures More than 51 Per Cent, in a Twelve-Year Period.
The Democratic campaign writers and speakers are muking use of highly dangerous material when they use figures to depict the cost of expenditures under Republican administration. Alton B. Parker said to the Democratic editors at Rosemount:
During Mr. Cleveland's first term the average expenditure was $200,000. For the last three years it has been about $320,000. The government spent $200,000, which is not equated by any year she the civil war, with the exception of
Why did Mr. Parker use the figures merely of Cleveland's first term? Why did he not make use of the figures for President Cleveland's second term? Why did the commission it would have been shown that expenditures gained with the same proportional rapidity in Democratic times as in Republican times—and in some directions, like interest on the public debt, they gained more than the public debt, the legal term, is "estopped" from criticism of Republican increase in expenditures when the figures comparing Democratic expenditures, twelve years apart, show that the Democrats, just like the Republicans, were forced to the rapid expenditures with increased expenditures for the government. The total expenditures of President Cleveland's last fiscal year, 1897, were $853,774,139 and as against $242,483,139 of those his first year as President, 1880 were $102,651,51 per cent. in the twelve-year period. The total expenditures for the four years of Cleveland's first administration, 1886 to 1889, were $1,052,055,894. The total expenditures during Cleveland's fourth year, 1883 to 1887, were $1,444,674,184.
Comparing the first year of Cleveland's first term with the last year of his second term, the following were the expenditures:
Civil and miscellaneous
Households $74,160,530 $189,041,261
Warehouse 113,521,311 113,521,311
Navy Department 135,987,887 34,561,516
Indian service 6,000,158 12,016,802
Interest on debt 50,380,146 37,791,117
Total expenditures $242,483,159 $363,754,747
For the last fiscal year, 1904, the government expenditures were:
Civil and miscellaneous (exclusive of $50,900,000) Panama $188,760,763
War Department 153,953,411
Navy Department 153,953,411
Indian service 10,458,588
Interest on debt 24,646,569
As regards interest on the public debt, the figures of the Harrison administration that intervened between the two Cleveland administrations are of interest. The interest payments for the year 1892, the last year of Republican rule, were $23,778,116, as against $31,580,140 for the first year of fiscal year 1893, and $29,000,140 for Cleveland's second administration the public debt was increased $290,000,000, and the interest payments, which in 1892 amounted to $2,237,116, in 1897 amounted to $37,791,116. In 1904 the interest on the public debt was only $24,646,490, this reduction having been due chiefly to the economy rendered possible through the financial act of March, 1900, which every Democrat in Congress voted against.
The most important increase in expenditures under Republican rule has been for the navy—and this policy of upbuilding the navy was a pet policy of the late W. C. Whitney, President Cleveland's Secretary, in 1887. The term the father of the modern American navy. During the Cleveland years, expenditures for the navy increased $120,000,000, and the Navy Department expenditures for 1904, compared with those for 1887. Cleveland's last year show that the Navy Department's bulk of which increase is for construction of new ships.
In consideration of the fact that the United States has increased nearly 50 per cent. in population and more than 100 per cent. in wealth since Grover Cleveland, the Navy has increased expenditures of government would naturally seem to be entirely justified.
If they are not, the Democrats should, at least in fairness, be willing to criticize the increase in Democratic years just such as the increase in Republican years.
WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND
Frank Evidence of Roosevelt's Sympathy with Wage Earners.
It has been repeatedly stated that President Roosevelt never misses an opportunity to show his sympathy for the victims of the bombing of the truth of this assertion, "During the existing administration," says the Chicago Tribune, "the United States for the first time has intervened in a private damage suit. Nothing was known of the order until Senator Knox, late Attorney General Warren, broke the brakeman was injured, after the act requiring the use of safety appliances on interstate railroads had gone into effect, while endeavoring to couple cars which had not been equipped in accordance with law. He brought suit for damages against the State of Illinois, and was successful. The case was called to the attention of the President, and, as he saw that the decision of the lower court nullified a great remedial statute, he directed a petition for a writ of certiorari to be filed to remove the case to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that which was passed to protect the lives of hundreds of thousands of railroad workers can be violated with impunity."
The Democrats are everlastingly referring to Jackson and Jefferson as the political demigods of the past. No one has ever been more successful than he alive to-day. He was a good man, and a scheder and dreamer in politics. Anyone can tell what Jackson would do were he alive to-day. He would be with you, and you would be the same way the same kind of man.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Roosevelt and Dunn are the leaders all delight to follow.
If you claim to be a Republican be one and work and vote for Dunn and Roosevelt.
All good Republicans are going to vote for R. C. Dunn for governor of Minnesota.
What can be gained for Republicans by voting for Democrats? Democrats only take care of their own. Put Republicans in office and they can help you.
The women of St. Paul will have an opportunity to vote at the next city election on the proposition to furnish free text books for the school children. The proposition is passed now.
Mr. Markham is a candidate for Judge of the District Court; needs no introduction to the voters of St. Paul, as he has been active in public affairs for many years. He was City Attorney from 1897 to 1903, and has since been active as a member of the Charter Commission, of which he is now president. Mr. Markham as a public official has served alike, all classes of people, and the Republican party has shown its appreciation of his services by choosing him as a candidate for the District bench of Ramsey County. He doubtless will be elected. Vote for him.
Oscar Hallam, Republican candidate for District Judge of Ramsey County is one of the most popular young attorneys of St. Paul as was shown by his run in the primaries. He has been a prominent member of the Ramsey county bar for many years. He has been an active Republican worker in every campaign. He was prominently mentioned for attorney general during the recent state campaign, he refused to make the bail. Hallam refused to make his wide acquaintance, personall popularity and high standing as a lawyer, will make a formidable candidate for the bench. Vote for him.
W. H. H.
Republican Candidate for County Auditor.
Eighth Warders, Attention.
In, accordance with resolutions passed at a recent meeting o call is hereby issued to the Republicans of the Eighth ward for a meeting to be held at McKinley Hall, corner Western and University avenues, Monday evening, Oct. 8 at 8 o'clock, consider the visibility of organizing a permanent Eighth Ward Afro-American Republican club. All Republicans are urged to be present.
Harry B. Howard,
Temporary Chairman.
Republican Candidate for County Auditor.
During his first term Edward G. Krahmer has made a notable record as county auditor. The distinguishing features thereof have been a perfected system, an orderly administration and a marked efficiency in all departments. His acts have squared with his promises and justly entitle him to the reward of a re-election. The best guarantee of the future are the performances of the past; and, judged by this standard, Mr. Krahmer requires no further commendation. He has instituted a thorough revision of the business and methods of the county has inaugurated certain reforms which the public interests require shall be continued uninterruptedly to a successful conclusion. In the truest sense the term he has been a conscientious, obliging and efficient public servant, and the flattering support which was accorded him in so generous a way at the recent primaries will no doubt, be extended to him in fuller-measure at the general election on next November 8th. Vote for him.
Republican Candidate for County Treasurer.
The Republican candidate for county treasurer looks like a winner from start to finish. In the primary election contest he carried every precinct in every ward in the city of St. Paul, with one exception, and every election district in the county outside of St. Paul by a vote of three to one, receiving more than 6,000 votes at the primaries, a record that no candidate appearing before the voters of Ramsey county for the first time has ever equaled. Mr. Foot is a young man 31 years of age, was educated in the public schools of St. Paul, and has lived in this city during all his life. He is a good business man, an expert accountant, and thoroughly fitted

in every way to take personal charge of the office to which he aspires. He is a nephew of S. B. Foot, senior member of the well-known manufacturing firm of Foot, Schulze & Co., of this city. The office of county treasurer is one of the most important in Ramsey county, and the law requires that any person holding the same shall furnish to the county of Ramsey immortalizing bonds in the sum of $500.00. No better recommendation as to Mr. Foot's integrity and personal standing in the community can be given than to point to the fact that the St. Paul representatives of two of the leading bonding companies of the United States stand ready to furnish that bond the very instant Mr. Foot qualifies as treasurer of Ramsey county. Vote for him.

Howard Wheeler, the Republican candidate for county attorney, is well and favorably known throughout the county. He was born in St. Paul, and enjoys the distinction of being the youngest man ever elected to the assembly, and of leading his ticket by a large majority on both occasions of his election.

Mr. Wheeler is an able lawyer and would make an excellent county attorney. Vote for him.
JOHN T. ROSENTHAL
Republican Candidate for Representative 34th District.
John T. Rosenthal, Republican candidate for representative from the Thirty-fourth district, represents the vigorous young business man in politics. This is the gentleman's first appearance as a political character, and it would appear that he has been very well received by the public. He was born in the district which he seeks to represent, and has lived at his present address, 217 Charles street, for twenty-two years. He is manager of the grocery and meat market at the corner of Marion and Charles streets, owned by his father, Joseph Rosenthal. He graduated from the St. Paul Law College in 1902, and was admitted to the bar. His brother, Frank J., is the well known bass singer. Personally Mr. Rosenthal is a man of very pleasing appearance and address, and will no doubt make a good showing in the coming campaign. Vote for him.
M. W. FITZGERALD.

Mr. M. W. Fitzgerald is a candidate for re-election to the office of deeds on the Republican ticket, is being generally supported by voters of both parties. He is the most efficient registers of deeds ever elected to that office in Ramsey county; and in addition to carrying out the work of that office he is also register of titles under the Torrens system. His re-election is one of the certainties of the present campaign. Vote for him.

‘The effect of this amendment, if
“adopted, will be to give the legislature
the power to determine the manner
and form of charging persons with the
commission of criminal acts, As the
constitution now reads, the procedure
by which a person is held to answer
for 2 criminal offense is by present:
ment or indictinent of a grand jury or
by eriminal warrant issued by a just-
ice of the peace. In place of such pre-
Sentiment or indictment of a grand
jury, or @ warrant issued by a justice
of the peace, it is proposed to substi-
tute any procedure which the legisia-
ture may deem due process of law. In
other words, the legislature will have
the power to provide a criminal pro-
cedure in conformity with the rights
guaranteed by the fundamental law,
by which a person shall be held to ac.
count for 2 criminal offense. Such
procedure must conform with the re-
fulrements of what is due process of
Jaw under the Constitution of the
United States and the State of Minne-
Sota. The proposed amendment may
be made the basis for an act of the
Toeistature authorizing the arrest and
prosecution of persons on an informa
Hon issued by a county attorney charg:
ing the commission of a criminal act.
