THE COMING MAN.

Here is what some of the papers in the
district have to say relative to Gov. Bar
to's candidacy:
The Sank Centre HERALD of last week
brings out Ex-Lieut. Gov. Barto, of that
city, as the next republican candidate for
congress in the fifth district. We publish
a portion of the HERALD's article, every
word of which we know to be true.-Bat-
tie Lake Review.
The Sank Centre HERALD formally an
nounces the candidacy of Gov. Barto for
congress. He would make a good one.
Ada Index. -
He has many friends in this as well as
the west end of the county, and has also
many friends throughout the district on
whose active assistance he can depend in
the contest for the Observation-Disclosures
Press.
The Sank Centre HERALD has formally
placed Gov. Barto in the field for the con-
gressional nomination in the bloody fifth
and urges him as the fttest republican of
prominence to wear the mantle as it falls
from the shoulders of Congressman Mel
son. Mr.. Barto is well fitted for the po-
sition from his location especially and in
many other respects, and one strong
point urged by the HERALD is the gov
ernor's approachability. There is not a
man of ability in the district with less
frost in his manner than Mr.. Barto.-
Todd County Argus.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Barto of Sank Centre,
is announced in the HERALD of that place
as it's preference for the nomination for
congress this year. The HERALD makes
a forcible showing of reasons why, if it's
choice should be ratified by the republi-
can convention, the district would fare
well in the 51st congress. Gov. Barto is
bright, able man, and has performed
effective work in northern Minnesota
politics, with fair degree of unselfsh.
ness.-G!yndon News.
Gov. Barto scored small point on his
congressional opponents by being elected
chairman of the republican conference at
Minneapolis Wednesday. The other can
didates are not cast down, however,
Fergus Falls Journal
1t is very gratifying to note that Hon.
A. Barto of Sank Centre, has consented
to become candidate for congress in
the fifth district. It is gratifying because
every republican in the state wants to see
Minnesota well represented in congress,
and everyone knows that no better man
can be found in the district than.Mr Bar
to. The republicans of Minnesota need
to put such men to the front in the next
campaign. Bitter experience has shown
that small men make poor candidates
for big Offices and that lightweight nom
inees are heavy weight for the party to
carry. Mr.. Barto is not small man in
any sense of the word. He is as big in
tellectually as he is physically, and in re-
spect to all the other qualities which go
to make a man fit to be honored and
trusted he is, to say the least, well pro-
portioned. The fifth district would do
honor to itself and to the state by send
ing Mr.. Barto to congress, and everyone
who knows him would rejoice to hear OF
his election.-Rock County Herald
The Sank Centre HERALD booms A.
Barto up big for congress, in it's last
weeks issue. Well, he's big enough to
stand 1.-THE boom-and heis almost too
big to go to congress. -Sauk Rapids Sen
