What.

se---nis to be the atuaKiiig pari iT his v. hule campaign Is that the voters would rend all this mass of literature. I tut they did read it and they believed it, as shown by his overwhelming vote. Lindquist Has a Ctive-All Bill for Fabric Industry. Mr.

Lindquist has for years been advo-'iii'nt; a bill, drawn on the same lines tin- pore food law. made applicable io -I't-ies and leather good3. He has sent it in-lreds in' thouFiinds of circular letters i v-iters in every part of the United HsUinc their co-operntton by Hid eireulat ing the petitions he in-i 'used and returning them to him to send io Congress. The result has been astounding to (hose who have taken the rouble to see what lie has accomplished in the wny of gathering names, which, Incidentally, could be used for furthering hi correspondence in his business operations. As liis project developed ho saw, be said, that he could do more for his Ml! as a member of Congress.

He believed that If he could give it his per-onal attention with the support which ihe petitions gave him he could pass the measure through Congress. That is wlint ne told the voters of his district, and that the reason he gave for seeking a seat tite national legislature. When It was known that Mr. Lindquist as a candidate for Congress, and that proposed to run by the mail order roufe, the practical and professional politicians said his scheme was "looney" and his nomination Impossible. Jeers and sneers greeted his Idea and the men who sought the nomination treated Lind-ciuist anil his candidacy as a joke.
