F. Donahue, the Democratic nominee: “I hereby challenge you to meet me In three, or more, if you desire, joint debates to debate the issues of this campaign, one of said meetings to be held in St. Cloud, the other meeting to be held in such other cities in this congressional district as you may se- lect, each of us to pay one-half of the expenses of said meetings. If yon ac- cept this challenge 1 will cancei all my other dates which might conflict with said me You will kindly pnswer at once.”—William F. Donzhue, Democratic candidate for congress, Melrose, Minn.

I do promise, if elected, that I shall perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. Iam opposed to tae further issuipg™ of ditch bonds in this district until the present judicial ditech law is amended so that ditches will be con- structed only where the quality of the soil, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. I believe the operation of the pres- ent judicial ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our citizens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- A terest and principal of said bond- ‘ have been jeopardized by the e mous issue of bonds, and the high ra of interest paid therefore. I will do all I can to secure legis \ lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of said ditch loans. My politics are Republican, but under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. I prom- ise also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- ceive the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- eges will be extended to none.
