I may be mistaken, but' it appears
to me that the People's Party ticket
is a stronger one this ^year than the
Republican and if the elements of re
form do not carry Kandiyohi county

not to blame. C~^ _,^ S,£

WILLMAR, FRIDAY, OCT. 23.
s.
Two meetings have been arranged for the day—1st. A ladies
meeting in the afternoon to begin at 3:00 o'clock, to which all ladies
are invited. —2nd. The evening meeting, which will be preceded
by a parade, and will open about 8:00 o'clock, will be open for men
only, owing to the limited capacity of the hall.
Everybod should take advantage of this opportunity of hear
ing and seeing these wonderful men, whose genius was "developed
the great railroad strike. Mr. Debs' name will go down in histo
ry as one of the great leaders of men in the 19th Century. His im
prisonment without a trial by jury gave rise to the issue against
"government by injunction." Th meetings will be of exceeding
interest. Don't fail to attend.
if this is another of Crosby's breaks.
An effort will be made, however, to
arrange for a joint debate at Willmar
between the two candidates before elec
tion, if the committees can agree as to
date and conditions. The republicans
are trying hard to create the impres
sion that Mr. Lommen is not Eddy's
equal in all respects. The TRIBUNE
would be highly pleased to have the
gentlemen appear in joint discussion
at Willmar.
When the silver men attempted to
arrange for a debate between Prof.
Caton and Congressman McCleary at
the time of the People's Party Co.
Convention, they were accused of try
ing to break up the republican meet
ing. "If you really want a debate,
notify us of time and place," said the
Gazette. Thursday Oct. 8, the Gazette
said ,- that there were 'half a dozen

GENTLEMEN, TAKE WHICH YOU .WANT.
The following appeared in the
editorial column of th& Argus
June 21, 1894
Was Bro. Birch right then or is he wrong now?
The Republican county and state
conventions will "have questions pre
sented to them th&t will deserve care
4ul consideration] The financial ques
tions in all that pertains to wholesome
legislation for the masses must not be
disregarded. The ^American ^people
are thinking, are stftdying and weigh
ing carefully the legislation of to-day.
They seethe fetters of apparent cor
ruption, atrWashington gradually be
ing placed around their necks,' and
they stand jn awe of the monstrosity.
They are reading the course of legis
lation for the past thirty years and see
that disgraceful act, the demonetization
of silver, in -glaring shamefulness.
The monometallist® must give way to
the bimetallists, aa.d let the people see'
silver placed on an equality with gold
or else those wno are in the advance
guard jnay slip to the rear. It is true
lihatr femonetfstotion will hurt the
schemes of the great financiers of Wall
street, but outside of that locality it
will"be a blessing. Th# hoarding of
Silver bullion |n the- mints is another
question that must be dealt with. Is
suing of bonds with millions- to coin
looks like starvation of the masses
with grain hQuses^filled. Free coinage
of gold, anduilvef limited to American

following Tuesday as the date when
Prof. Caton could be secured. There
was five days notice given, but not a
word in reply was received from the
G. O. P. Club. In conversation the

A Communication.
Editor Willmar Tribune.
The populists of the fifth district of
this county are to be congratulated
on their good selection of a candidate
for county commissioner. The
nomineej ME_ John S. Tromberg-ia a
worthy representative of the large
progressive agricultural class of
Kandiyohi Co. Being a man of brood
views, intelligent and honest, he is a
man on whom they people can rely
in every way.
Mr. Tromberg has taken an active
part in the reform struggle of this
county ever since he located here, and
has, at every opportunity stood up
for what he considered to be right and
true.
John S- Tromberg was born in
Denmark 1863, thus being now in the
flower of manhood. He immigrated to
this country in 1880, settled down in
McLeod Co., Minn, and moved with
his family in 1888 to Lake Lillian
where he has ever since resided. The
people of town of East Lake Lillian
soon realized that they in Mr. Trom
berg had a man of ability and honor
and in 1891 he was elected assessor of
the town, to which office he was re
elected in 1895 and 1896 nearly unan
imously.
When in the later years it became
evident that the dairy industry was
more profitable than wheat raising,
Mr. Tromberg was one of those men
who worked unceasingly until a co
operative creamery was erected, and
been a prominent member of the
Board of Directors of this establish
ment, the success of the institution is
for a great deal due to his energy and
sound judgment. Last spring Mr.
Tromberg was elected director of the
school board in Dist. No. 81, almost
unanimously, with 12 votes against 2,
and his energy and sense of right and
justice has already manifested itself
within the district. Mr. Tromberg
has not been seeking the office for
which he is noninated, when first of
fered, he refused to-accept it thinking
that an older and abler man would be
to-prefer, but finally yielded to the re
quest of his many friends and when
at the recent caucus a vote was taken
on the matter he out of 27 votes re
ceived 19 to his two opponents re
spective 7 and 1.
