vacillation. He is made of quite different
material

Yes, it is true that Maj. Camp has little
faith in Republican success this fall 1t
must be confessed that the genial major is a
much more reliable prognoSticator Of Official
events than he is of the antics of Jupiter
Pluvius. Last spring he acknowledged to 81
few confidential friends his belief that DIR.

Like many OF the other country Republi-
can journals the Spring Valley Vidette pre-
fers TO see Mayor A:neS in the field against
Giltilan. None appear to care how badly
Gilfian gets defeated, but they all want to
see the g. o. p. retain the state executive.
Tfat is quite natural. A big chunk is better
than Il little slice.
tYou can bet your bottom dollar" re-
marked the astutc j. j. Green of the LeSueur
Sentinel. as he emerged from the committee
rooms of the general conference, THAT the
Democracy OF the state is with us, and we are

Frank Mcdonald says that if he was a can

he would supply all the newspaper boys with
their Havanas if they would keep w. F. Nc
Carthy before the public as rival. Frank is
generous when it is too late. The boys will

Who is the cruel punster that wrote Nc
''Gill, Gil man and "Gil'' hllan. the three
"Gillies" who are just now posing as the
leaders of the g. o. p. hereabouts? He is not
deserving of any mercy.
"a good many of the boys are Republicans
