U. s. SENATOR.
The Pipestone Star seems to think
Hon. A. NJ. Crosby ought to vote fer
Windo,n for U. ). Senator. BY what
course of reasoning they arrive at this
conclusion it is difficult for us to see.
Window and his friends (including the
Starr did their level best to defeat
Crosby. and if he shonld cast vote
for the Hon. William, he is composed
OF different material than we supposed
him to be when we supported him for
the State Senate. No, sir, Murray
county gave Crosby good round ma
jority and they don't want him to vote
for a man who while claiming to be a
Republican, did all in his power to de-
feat, not only MFR. Cros' Y. hut the
whole Republican party in this dis
trict .-Fulda Republican.
The fact is, the U. S. Senatorial ques-
ton did not come to the front in the
Legislative campaign in this district
because Goodnow did not dare to pub
licly declare that he made the run on
that issue. Tie question, however,
was an issue much talked Of among
the voters, and it was well understood
that GoodnOW made the run as a Win
dom candidate backed 10y Window
funds. Crosby was uurledged, but it
was equally we'll known that lie had al
ways been and was at the time friendly
to Dunnell. He goes to the State Sell
ate, however, unpledyed and free to do
rs he chooses, so far AS any pledges or
requirements from the people are con-
cerned.
Another thing: It was we'll known
that whenever Dunnell came before the
people Of the four counties composing
this district, lie carried them, and it
WAS presumed that the majority Of the
voters were Dunne!l men. This was,
probably, the ,nain reason why Good
now did not wisl, to announce that he
was running on the Senatorial issue.
Our cholce fo: the Senate would be a
man like G. K. Davis or Gen. Baker,
because we think Il State should put
her ablest and most brilliant men into
the higher Y. aces. and not make the top
offices the mere reward Of party se:-
vice, political management and
shre~dness in accrmulating wealth.
