Should some enterprising literateur
put forth at this time dissertation upon
the "signs of the times" he would be
compelled to chronicle the fact that in
Minneapolis the signs of the times indi-
cate the election of P. B. Winston as
mayor of Minneapolis. Supporters of
the party now in power are every
day wheeling into line with the
people who desire straight
forward, broad gauge, business
administration. The latest acquisition
to the ranks of Democracy in Minneap-
oils is that powerful Scandinavian
daily, the most influential Scandinavian
publication in the Northwest. the
Svenska Folkets Tidning. While that
paper runs at the head of its editorial
columns the full Republican state
ticket, it has come out for P. B. Wins
ton for mayor. Last Wednesday morn
ing it announced its reasons for sup
porting the Democratic nominee for the
mayOralty, extracts from which an
nouncement are printed below. The
article is headed, "The Hour of Retri-
button Is Drawing Near" After speak
ing of how E. c. Babb CHANGED to be
elected mayor, the FolketS Tidning
goes on to say:
The last two years have been time Of sor-
| row and repentance to the fair city in which
Mr.. Babb has held the position of mayor

Some attention is paid to the part
| taken in the fight two years ago by the
Tidning, and then this follows:
