The Appeal

If St. Paul's Ever to Be Redeemed, Now's the Time THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. In Germany there are, strictly speaking, no drinking saloons. Beer and liquors are always sold in restaurants. Any one can go into these restaurants and buy beer without eating, but the point is that in Germany beer is sold only in places where men, women and children go to eat, and if they choose, drink beer with their meals. This keeps the places decent. In Berlin and Hamburg, and in perhaps one or two other large German cities, there are saloons as we in America understand that word. They are copied from America and are called "American Bar." The Americans are a great people, great in their virtues and great in their faults. Sometimes Germans are accused of corrupting this country with their drinking customs, when really it is the Germans who are liable to be corrupted by the American whisky drinking by our treating habits, and by our indecent and demoralizing booze houses, with their so-called "wine rooms." These wine rooms make convenient places for designing men to get silly girls drunk, and rob them of their virtue. This is bad for society. We must wipe out these disgraceful joints and encourage all decent saloonkeepers to obey the laws and conduct their business in the same way that all business should be conducted. I do not believe in prohibition, but unless all respectable people take a hand in this reform of the saloon business we will have prohibition in Minnesota, just as they are adopting it in so many other states.

Let us Germanize the American Approves Principles of Unions I am a manufacturer and an employer of a large number of men and women, and it is natural that I should be asked what is my attitude toward labor, and especially toward labor unions. I desire to go on record in the most unqualified and emphatic way as to my approval of the principle of the labor unions. Not that I agree with everything that labor unions have done, any more than I agree with everything the employers of labor done. The labor union idea has always been my indorsement, and I have never been able to work with any organization opposed to it. Daniel Webster once said: "There are many objects of great value to man which cannot be obtained by unconnected individuals, but must be attained, if obtained at all, by association." Humans are increase of wages and shortening the hours of labor necessary to earn them, and a more equal distribution of work among workmen. These aims are practical and praiseworthy, and they will be attained more certainly and more quickly by united than by individual effort. WILL E. MATHEIS, For Comptroller. The Gambling Trust "There is another evil in St. Paul," said Joseph McKibbin, to a Third ward meeting, "another class of bad houses, and when we come to these houses, they amount to a trust pure and simple. I speak of the professional gambles houses. Gentlemen, gambling is against the man, who wants to be against every idea of what is just right in saying anything against the man who wants to bet on a ball game or on any other similar proposition. What I am talking about is the professional gambler who puts his victim up against a brace the more susceptible to the victims." They are the more susceptible to the inexperienced. They are the people upon whom the professional gambles feed. "And I want to talk plainly to you about this. If you think it necessary for the prosperity of our city for these people, you need to be necessary to the prosperity of them, for I tell you, gentlemen, that I elected mayor I will see that they are suppressed. They may spring up from time to time, but I will keep after them, and whenever they become active I will also become active against them. But if you believe professional gambling should be suppressed; if you believe these joints should be suppressed, then the prosperity of our town, then I ask your vote." Coming to the saloon question. Mr. McKibbin illustrated his attitude toward the liquor traffic by saying that the sale of gunpowder and gasoline should be suppressed, which would lie in their unrestricted sale storage. Just for the same reason the liquor traffic should be regulated. Public Service Corporations As a candidate for the chief executive office of this city, I give public notice to every public service corporation, that without the slightest personal antagonism to chant and with no desire to play all my official influence with the common council to see that the people are fully protected in all their rights, and, as may be necessary, that further ordnances be enacted, under the charter, to all the people all their rights in the fullest sense of the word. I shall not be satisfied by first-class service in one section of the city. I will insist on equality for all sections of the city. I do not intend to run amuck, but I do intend to be the loyal servant of all the people. JOSEPH MCKIBBIN THE APPEAL. JOSEPH McKIBBIN McKibbin and the Furriers To Whom It May Concern: In regard to the statement in the papers of the 23d concerning Mr. McKiblin's attitude towards the furriers' union, and also in regard to a certain letter written by Mr. McKiblin Sept. 7, 1907, to the president of that union, Mr. Hugo V. Koch, Mr. Koch sent a letter to McKiblin, Driscoll & Dorssey in behalf of the union asking for a little increase in our wages. Be it remembered that any of us had not spoken to Mr. McKiblin so far. The letter in question has been copied and printed and circulated amongst union men and others with the object of indorsing Mr. Lawler instead of Mr. McKiblin for mayor. At the time in question a committee was made up amongst us men and also we agreed upon a fair addition to our wages that we should ask for, and by meeting Mr. McKiblin, he on the other hand, met us in a most cordial and businesslike manner. We asked for what we wanted and wont any argument of any kind we would not answer. We asked for taking the opportunity at this time to express our gratitude for Mr. McKiblin's treatment toward us. We were, and also was Mr. Koch, the president of the furriers' union, satisfied at that time in the way it came to an end. If it would please suppose the president would have written to Mr. McKiblin to the contrary. And we want to say at this time that it is unfair and unjust toward Mr. McKibbin to be criticised in that way. He did as much for us as other houses of this kind did. It seems to us that these criticisms and injustices are being circumvented by the efforts of the part of Mr. Koch, the president of the furriers' union and some political leaders. Mr. McKibbin has never said a word against organizations of any kind to our knowledge and has always met us in a gentlemanly and businesslike manner. The same time as the above, there was also a call for a little increase at other houses where the men of said union find employment, and was settled in the same way as in this house, without any special representative of any union, which was satisfactory to us. This is not with the intention to criticise any union whatsoever, only to be fair, cutters of McKibbin, Driscoll & Derex. Thomas R. Kane, who is marching up and down the length of the town, speaking for the election of Dan Lawler and the perpetuation of gang rule in St. Paul, was at one time county attorney, and a member of the county board, who remember that he was the legal adviser to board of county commissioners, and they will also remember that he did what he could to hold the contractors to the terms of their contracts. He was so industrious about this thing that at almost every wrestling of the county board Mr. Kane was called to fight. In those days Mr. Kane stood for law and law enforcement, and the Dispatch wishes to give him credit for it. Now, Mr. Kane, you have heard about the St. Anthony Park sewer contract, and you have been told about the substitution of the contractor and that city contractors should not. If that was a county contract, and if you, as county attorney, had to approve the estimates, would you, knowing what you know about the substitution of cheap brick, approve the estimate and advise county officials. Did you ever do such a thing while county attorney? The Dispatch has followed your record in office and is of the opinion that you at all times attempted to act on the square with the taxpayers. Now, Mr. Kane, how can you get out and speak for such a bunch that is doing the same thing now. How can you do it, Mr. Kane? The question of taxation in this city is a live one, and the people are demanding that the city be involved between the assessments against individuals, firms and corporations, and between real estate properties require thorough, and impartial treatment. If I shall have the honor of becoming the next mayor of St. Paul, I will join in the appointment of an assessor who will have the courage and executive ability to manage the affairs of the institutions impartially and energetically and at once. And, further upon the failure ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MAY 2. 1908. Candidate of the People for Mayor of St. Paul. Why Joseph McKibbin Should Be Elected Mayor of the City of St. Paul. Because he is a man of the people, who believes in them in the truest sense of the word. Because he will hold every public service corporation to a strict accountability under its charter rights. Because he will do away with the wine rooms, gambling and policy shops, and end the sale of liquor to minors. Because the prestige and national reputation of St. Paul as the healthiest city in the world will again be restored. Because he will enforce the laws and rid the city of the disreputable element that has fostered on depravity and crime for years. Because he will not hesitate to give to the common council his views as to ordinances which should be enforced for the best interests of the city. Because he is absolutely fearless, has the courage of his convictions, and will give a business administration that will deal squarely with all the people. Because he will regard the city as belonging to the people, of which its citizens are stockholders and he only the trustee of this great municipal corporation. Because he will be mayor in fact as well as in name, and will have a look-in at every department of the city and see that they are run on business principles. Because he will see that contracts are awarded only to the lowest bidders and the "board that works the public" changes its name back to the charter appellation. Because he will direct all his energies for the betterment of the moral and material welfare of the city and will always make the moral condition paramount to the material. Because St. Paul will have clean streets under his administration and the present intolerable condition of the streets under the management of the Engineering Department will be done away with. Because he is a cosmopolitan citizen, fully aware of the customs of older countries, and will not interfere with the rights of any individual as long as he does not interfere with the rights of others and obeys the laws. Because he will join in the appointment of an assassor that will remove the inequalities of taxation from the shoulders of the poor man and put it upon the rich man, if the burden has been so unjustly placed in the past. Reasons Why the Republican Ticket Should be Elected. Because the mayor will be able to accomplish much more with the assistance of a majority in the common council. Because the men nominated on the republican ticket are all of exceptionally good business calibre, honesty and capacity. Because the city needs a sweeping change that will start a municipal housecleaning with a new broom that will sweep clean. Because the mayor should be supported by competent and honest men in the comptroller's and treasurer's offices, who will second his efforts. Because the city and its citizens need many new measures for its and their protection, and new men are necessary in the council who will not be bound to corporate interests or continue running in the old office-holding rut which destroys a man's independence and initiative. of any assessor appointed to do his duty. I will initiate and join in steps for his immediate removal. Wages and Hours of Labor wages fixed by competition in the open market. No matter what my personal and private relations in life may be, as mayor I will be mayor of all the people, and the wage earner and the wage payer, the man of wealth and the man of small property, and all honest citizens will receive, as is their right, equal consideration and will find equal welcome to my office. Justice is the end of government. JOSEPH MKIBBIN. Defective Page The feeling that human labor should be bought and sold like cattle is doomed. Everywhere there are signs of an awakening in the workforce, a relation between employer and employee should be modified and softened by the kindly personal relation. It is because the cold and brutal thought that the obligation of Capital to Labor ceases when it has paid wages fixed by competition in the open market. For nearly a quarter of a century, I have been connected with the management of a large and successful manufacturing company, beginning until now we have been governed in the matter of wages and hours, labor and general treatment of our employees, our company and our business, and not by the cruel law of the supply and demand. Sentiment is supplanting selfishness. JOSEPH MKIBBIN. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. Misfeasance Charged Against Assessor by a Democrat. At a democratic meeting held a few days ago John W. Willis, in an effort to bolster up the waning cause of Daniel W. Lawler, charged that the wholesale merchants of St. Paul did not pay their taxes, that they fixed their own assessments, etc. If the judge is correctly reported, he charges misfeasance in office on the part of democratic assessors. There is nothing indefinite about this. It is a direct and positive statement. It is a serious charge and doubtless Judge Willis would not have made it unless he knew it to be a fact. It ought not to pass unchallenged. If the present democratic assessor has been guilty of misfeasance in office he ought to be impeached. If it was one of his predecessors he ought to be named and thus remove the suspicion which the charge throws upon the present incumbent of the office. It is up to Judge Willis, Assessor Smith or Daniel W. Lawler to speak out. Was it this stab in the back which democracy received in the house of her friends that has made it necessary for Mr. Lawler to devote most of his time to defending the democratic administration for the past twenty years? Not "a single democratic official," he says, "has been proven or found guilty during the last twenty years." There are vague rumors constantly being circulated about business houses not paying their taxes. Why do not these calumniators come out in the open? Why don't they tell us just what personal taxes the leading business houses pay, including the breweries and liquor dealers, and what in his opinion they ought to pay, and stop these insinuations. It has been publicly stated that Mr. Lawler did not pay his personal taxes for ten years, until he became a candidate for mayor, and his delinquency became public, and then he did not pay those that had already outlawed, but Judge Willis must have overlooked that fact. At any rate, he did not mention it. Do you suppose if it had been Mr. McKibbin or Louis Nash or Dr. Wirth who had not paid their taxes for ten years, it would have been overlooked? It would be interesting to know what steps were taken to enforce collection of Mr. Lawler's delinquent taxes. If my recollection is correct, under a democratic county attorney, Mr. Kane, the sheriff, was sent out with a furniture van to enforce collections or seize the furniture. Was Mr. Lawler upon the sheriff's list? If not, why not? Turn on the light upon this tax business. If any evil exists publicity will cure it. That is the Roosevelt remedy. Evidently, too, it is Mr. McKibbin's remedy, for in his speech in the Second ward Tuesday night he said: "Look at the assessor's office. There has not been a single thing done to right matters there, though everybody knows they are wrong; and there will not be anything done until some man cares enough and has courage enough to go in and show the thing up." Judge Willis admits there is something wrong and the democratic administration has not corrected it. Mr. McKibbin says there is something wrong and pledges himself to correct it. Mr. Lawler defends the administration and asks the voters to endorse it, by returning it to power. As a taxpayer, who will you vote for, Mr. Reader? From whom will relief be most likely to come? Special Privileges Must End Every candidate declares, in a general way, his opposition to "special privileges," but most candidates fall to specify just what they mean by the term. Mr. McKibbin explicitly includes, among some special privileges which he will abolish, the privilege of sluing liquor to minors, and the protection to policy shops. In an interview printed some days ago, he made his position perfectly clear. "Mr. McKibbin, are you in favor of the closing of wine rooms?" He most certainly am, and I believe that most good citizen holds the same views." "Are you in favor of prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors?" sale of liquor to minors?" "I regard this as an imperative necessary the future generation of the city or St. Peter's church should be enforced to the very letter." "What are your ideas about gambling and policy shops?" The detrimental effects of games of cheating and the ability to arrogate, and while I do not know very much about this policy game that you speak of, I have been informed that there are public drawings in this game and tickets for the game. The prices as to arouse the cupidity of those who can least afford it, and that the game is always stacked against the investor. This holding forth the glittering possibility of making money by creating a $50 60 cents cannon, but be a dangerous menace to the commercial morality of the community, and ought to be eradicated. "What are your views as to the effects of gambling?" of the Sunday closing?" "My opinion is that the saloons should be kept closed all day Sunday—not from religious views, but because it is for the best interest of all the people. No matter what the situation, on Sunday in other countries, experience has shown that it is better for the American people to keep them closed." "How about the 11 o'clock lid?" "I have expressed my views as to the 11 o'clock lid, and I believe of a private citizen as to the reasonableness of the law, but public officials have only one duty, and that is to obey and enforce the law. Such a public official cannot take upon himself the legislative power of determining the wisdom of the Decent Saloons are Lawful There are two kinds of saloons—the decent and the indecent. The "to-heil-with-law-and-deceny" saloons have covered the whole business with shame. I am against blind pigs, wine rooms and disaptable liquor joints and they have everything to fear from my administration. The decent saloonkeeper has my respect and will be accorded the same impartial and generous treatment to which he and all other law-abiding citizens are entitled. JOSEPH McKIBBIN.

What a Woman Has to Say Would it be of use to the Dispatch to receive the point of view of a young woman somewhat unilated in municipal politics—with regard to that very interesting and unusual meeting in the People's church on last Sunday evening? The question is whether she should be in me a remarkably strong desire to take part at once in the vital issue which came up for consideration. This issue—I see the Pioneer Press state this morning that Mr. Lawler has none—correct, but he is one—the issue was to one not another. He was a saloon question, not the question of the moral responsibility of the mayor of St Paul per se—but absolutely the question of the man. It was simply a question of the personality and character of absolute integrity, honor and sincerity of purpose—as opposing one typical in his effective role. He was presented at the weak spots of ready credit on the part of some of his listeners. One could hardly conceive of a more cleverly arranged oratory aimed at the entirely eliminating any necessity of answering points of the situation—rather designed to use up his time with rhetoric and vociation from a written plea with politics it was contemptible. To hear that man refer oratorically, in other words evidently solely for effect to his maker, and remember the words "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"—to hear him presume to be a man of the people written with George Washington, and with the man of the innate fineness of Wm. McKinley—it made one boll with indignation. A blessing, it seems, has come to St. Paul citizens, in that they have the privilege, and rare—oh, most rare—opportunity of voting for a man like Mr. McKinley. It be most fervently and seriously hoped that they will avail themselves thereof. Much is spoken of the woman's influence in a political way being so great as to compensate her somewhat for any lack of suffrage. I would invoke every woman whom it could reach to use her influence actively, strongly and earnestly during the short time still left to us for the election of Mr. McKibblin. I do not write as a personal friend, personally to help him, for I know him, unfortunately, but very slightly—and if I were to ask him to sign or anything he is to get out of it. For him it means some notoriety and a great deal of added care and responsibility. But I do long for our city to go long stunted in its growth by the clogging up and covering up policy of the "gang"—that St. Paul shall at last have clean, pure air in her politics.

WHITE SKIN-THATS ALL "There are Watertowns in the South, but the Watertown where a National Guard organization refuses to parade on the occasion of a visit of the Governor of the State because the marching music is to be furnished by a band of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, an Afro-American regiment, is in northern New York. The band, it is admitted, can play patriotic airs as well probably as any band in the United States army. Indeed, it is a band of uncommon excellence. Nothing could be urged against the repute and efficiency of the regiment with which the band is connected. Indeed, the Twenty-fourth Regiment is one of the bravest and most soldierly in the army." The foregoing quoted from the New York Sun, relates to one of the most disgraceful occurrences that ever transpired in this country. The band of the Twenty-fourth Infantry is one of the finest in the country, and the regiment to which it is attached has a glorious record, not only upon the battlefield for its bravery, but in the midst of pestilence for its heroism and humanity.

It reminds the party that there are others in the field and opens the way for new prospects and outlooks. There is no longer any compelling reason for accepting Bryan. At last the party has an alternative, and the more one contemplates it the more he discerns a hope." But THE APPEAL cannot see that the Sun is entirely correct in its Perhaps it would be well for our Southern brethren to shake Europe during their summer vacations as they are in constant danger of having their feelings all torn up as was the case of a Mississippi colonel, who recently "did" Berlin. The colonel was a great admirer of military display, until one day the following happened as he sauntered along Unter den Linden: Approaching him was a magu ficent specimen of an officer of hussars, debonair, alert, very imposing in his red tunic with white frogs, his well-cut riding breeches and gleaming boots. From the flap of his shako to the tip of the scabbard that jangled against his sabretache he was the ideal of a beau militaire, except that he was a black man, while on his arm simpered a radiant German girl. It is said that the outraged colonel left by the next train for Vienna. Count and Countess Szechenyi had a most glorious time when they reached Buda-Pesth, according to the following account given in an exchange: "Whenever they appeared on the street they were surrounded by mobs, all clamoring for money, which they seemed to think the American and her fortunate husband were ready to throw away. At their hotel the police dispersed an assembly of more than a thousand persons, every one of whom was demanding audience of the count and countess and was in quest of largesse. In the evening they were pursued by photographers whose magnesium lights frightened their horses and caused them to run away." If she ever read it the countess must have been reminded of old Ben Franklin's little story about paying for the whistle. The New York Sun is in a most comfortable state of mind as we infer from the following remark: "The apparition of the Gray and Johnson candidacies transforms the M. H. HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS.

BUT THE APPEAL cannot see that the Sun is entirely correct in its diagnosis; for Tom Watson has already been nominated by the Populists and there would be a great deal of fun for the Democrats in voting for him. ANANIAS' LATEST Some enterprising member of the Ananias Club has contributed the following to the newspapers: "The political situation in Louisiana has become so alarming to the Democrats that every member of Congress from that State is being urged to come forthwith to that State to save it from a Republican victory." Anybody with a thinbleful of brains in his head knows that there is just about as much probability of a Republican victory in Louisiana as there is of Tom Watson being elected President of the United States The good city of Philadelphia is experiencing a novel sensation caused by the discovery that some of her policemen are professional burglaries, having been actually caught, tried and convicted. The result is not surprising and its source is directly traceable to practical politics, which gave men office as a reward for efficiency in ballot box stuffing and other forms of political rascality. But after all, it must be admitted that these policemen are only imitating the example of their superiors. Beside the men who built the Pennsylvania state house, they are paragons of virtue. Referring to the sanguinary combat in Little Rock, in which Jeff Davis took so conspicuous a part, the New York Tribune remarks: "Not since a certain leading Arkansasan threatened to drive Jeff Davis into the Arkansas River with a lightning bug on the end of a corncob has anything so serious happened." This remark shows that the Tribune has investigated the matter very thoroughly and sized Jeff up as simply a cowardly braggart, which is the reputation he bears at home. State Grand Lodge Uuited Brothers of Friendship Formed THE WOMEN'S SOCIETY OF CLEVELAND DELEGATES TO MINNESOTA GRAND LODGE UNITED BROTHERS OF FRIENDSHIP One of the most notable events that have taken place in St. Paul, in view of the fact that in July of next year the National Grand Lodge will meet in this city, was the formation of a State Grand Lodge of United Brothers of Friendship last Tuesday.

Mr. McKibbin is a successful business man, who will bring to his office the same business methods that have brought him success in his private business. He will not be a mere figure-head, but will put into operation his marvelous executive ability to build up the city along right and proper lines, and this is what all good citizens desire. The only thing people need to themselves the good people to provide themselves the trouble of going to the polls on May 5th and voting for the representative of law and order. Mr. Joseph McKibbin, for mayor. H. P. KELLER. Republican Candidate for the Assembly. It goes without saying that our next mayor will be Mr. Joseph McKibbin, but in order that he may be able to accomplish the greatest amount of good he must have the assembly and board of aldermen behind him, it is, therefore, very important that caucus voters should cast his vote for the Republican legislatures for assemblymen and aldermen. And to be sure to make no mistake just put cross marks opposite the names of every Republican on the ticket from the head of the ticket to the bottom. Bear this in mind. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. L. A. Turner takes this means to thank personally and for the A. A. W. F. M., the members for their faithful co-operation; the participants who so kindly gave their services the young men who graced the occasion as ushers and the friends at large, who, by their presence and aid otherwise, made the Clarence Cameron White recital the leading social and financial success of many St Paul seasons. L. A. Turner, Pres. Kittie M. Terrell, Sec'y. Republican Candidate for Constable at Large. Everybody was surprised at the phenomenal run W. B. Miller made at the primaries and there is little doubt that he will not do much better at the election. He has made good during his present term of office and as one good turn deserves another just put an X opposite his name on your ballot May 5th and help to keep a good man in his place. To the friends who gave us their kind assistance and sympathy during the late illness of our little boy and at his death, we desire to tender our heartfelt thanks. We are especially grateful to the sisters of the S. M. T. and other friends for floral tributes. Mr. and Mrs. S. Brown. The Ladies' Drill on last Thursday, evening at Pilgrim Baptist church, under the management of Mesdames Maria Fing and Lula Chapman, was quite a success, considering the bad weather and the fact that Capt. Charles Miller was suddenly taken sick and was unable to attend. Mrs. Hance Lobbins acted as captain and one, the drill being executed to the aid of the satisfaction of the audience. The following part took in the drill, for which the management thanks them; Mesdames F. Cloak. C. Carter. E. Wills. C. Lindsay, N. Covington, L. Wormley, M. Hart, T. Solomon, L. Chapman, B. High, M. Fletcher, Miss Viola Berry, Mrs. Mayne Lobbins, captain; Miss Brightie Lowe, pianist. ROBERT SENG ROBERT H. SENG. Republican Candidate for the Assembly. D. H. MICHAUD. Republican Candidate for the Assembly. Mr. D. H. Michaud, who is among the nine Republican candidates for the assembly, showed by the good run he made at the primaries that he is something of a hustler, and it is hustlers that we want in the city council. And the fact that, he has conducted a real estate business for twenty-four years very successfully shows that he is a thorough business man, and it's business men we want to work with. And St. Paul thirty-two years, and of course, is closely identified with the best interests of the city, as he is one of the largest taxpayers. He favors the same soft of business administration in the city affairs that he gives to his private business, and there is PETER H. BURTON no doubt that he will give just such service. Don't fail to vote for D. H Michaud on May 5th. JAMES L. JOHNSON Republican Candidate for Justice of the Peace. James L. Johnson, Republican candidate for the office of justice of the peace, has been a resident of St. Paul since 1879, and has lived in the First ward all the time. Mr. Johnson is a self-made man. Although having had worse obstacles to surmount than the average young man, in that he met with a severe accident some years ago, whereby suffered the loss of his left hand, he threw perseverance and good will, obtained an education and is a college graduate, having taken a general course, including commercial law. The circumstances of Mr. Johnson James L. Johnson. might have some weight with some of the voters, but that in itself, without fitness and ability, would be no reason why we should vote for him. The fact that he is a man of good character and no question as to his honesty and integrity, he having held the office he is now seeking the past two years and made an excellent record, proving his competency by conducting the same in such an impartial, courteous and prompt manner that he gained the confidence of all who came in contact with him in his official capacity. That is a valid reason why he should receive the support of all Republican voters. He needs the office and is worthy of it. M. B. Republican Candidate for Nomination for Assembleyman. Mr. O. A. Lindeke is a son of A. H. Lindeke of Lindeke, Warner & Sons, was born and reared in St. Paul, and is 38 years of age. He received his education in the public schools of the city. He is in business for himself in the Endicott Arcade. This is his first venture in politics, but he feels competent to perform the duties of the office to which he aspires to the satisfaction of the people. He is voted for in all parts of the city and desires to be kindly re- TO THE VOTERS Next Tuesday is Election Day.

When Kilroy-Britton secured the new melodramatic musical play they knew they were getting something far different from the rest of so-called melodramas and at the same time what the public wanted—something new in a theatrical way. "The Cowboy Girl" is decidedly new. It offers a thoroughly good and interesting western story of true American life and incidentally thereto many original bits of song and original music are introduced. "The Cowboy Girl" is filled with dashing comedy players who are perfectly competent to enact the serious roles and enliven and increase the musical ensembles. A chorus of pretty show girls assist materially in the brilliant musical numbers. A splendid combination of thrilling melodrama, sparkling music and dashing fun is "The Cowboy Girl," which will be the offering at the Grand for one week, beginning with a matinee tomorrow at 2:30.

"Willaims' Ideal Extravaganza Company" is the title of the attraction that comes to the Star theater next week, and in the opening skit, "A Day at the Beach," they will be heard in some of the most pleasing lyrics heard here this season. The fun is furnished by Frank Murphy, Jack Magee, Al Gruett, Clayton Frey, Jack Gruett and Perrin Sommers, who keep their audience in convulsions. "The Isle of Mault," the other skit, is entirely different from the first named, but is funnier, if anything. The also will include Murphy and Magee, posters and parody singers; Frey and Sommers, travesty stars; Sommers and Stark, comedy musical sketch; Gruett and Gruett, assisted by Perrin Sommers and Marie Gruett, in a bit of tomboying; and "Scenes in a Beaunery," and Ruth Everett, in her wonderful mechanical doll impersonations, during which she gives imitations of different animals and birds. During the action of the burlesque, the "Girl in Scarlet" will introduce her famous specialty. EXTRA! Tuesday night, May 5th, election returns will be read from the stage.
