EDITOR GREAT WEST:
We shall soon be called upon to
approve or condemn the course OF
our present member of congress.
Shall it go out to the world that we
approve OF the Mckinley bill, which
seems to me to be protection gone
mad?
Free trade certainly is not desir-
able. But it seems to us that fair
trade would be much preferable to
the almost prohibitory tariff on
many articles.
In this place there are several vot-
ers that have another bone to pick.
Mr.. Comstock has shown very poor
Judgment or very bad principle in
his dealings with our postotfice mat
tiers in this place. There are sup
posed to be about 500 patrons of the
postoffice in this place; 1926 of those
signed petition asking for the ap-
pointment of an honorably dis
charged union soldier of the late war,
who came out of the army with an
excellent record, but with health per-
manently destroyed.
Instead OF needing the wishes of
large majority Of the people, he
caused to be appointed an intemper-
ate. incompetent, pothouse politi-
clan, who, when the nation was al
mostin the throes of dissolution hur-
ried off to Montana, where he re-
manned until all danger OF being
drafted was over.
And Mr.. Comstock caused the post
office to be removed to place out
side of the village of Paynesville, and
within the bounds of another incor-
porated village of another name, con-
trary to the report, as we have good
reason to believe, of Mr.. Childs, an
agent of the postomce department.
who was sent here to investigate and
report on the matter.
This was all done to CRAFTY the
wishes of a few tricky politicians.
The great injustice of the whole
transaction demonstrates Mr.. Com
stocks utter unfitness to represent
an honorable people in congress or
anywhere else. Mr.. Halvorson is a
man of the people. He knows their
wants, and is in sympathy with
them. He is honest, capable and
worthy. Every farmer and laboring
man in the district should give him
a vote. S. P. ROACH.
The article on Land Currency, in
the Red Wing Advance, will be re-
ferred to next week-out of the office
Jour days week knocks the point
off our pencil.
