CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

The great 'cryptogram." Ignatius
Donnelly, is running for state senator
Of Dakota county ON the Alliance ticket;
and. even if he is not Republican, we
should like to see him elected in order
that the senate may have a little "life"
infused into its proceedings. "Agi-
tators' are needed i'll all walks of life,
and Donnelly can talk for hundred
men.-Albert Lea Enterprise.
Those papers harping about Tom
Wilson'S break when he said he loved
railroads should let up; he explains how
he came to say it and what prompted
him to tell the truth. Any employe
who does not respect his employer is
not worthy of the confidence reposed in
him, therefore let up on this eyerlaSt-
ing howl about Tom Wilson's senti-
ments publicly expressed. Granite

Congressman Lind says he often voted
during the late session with the Repub-
lican party, not in the least knowing the
nature of the bills or measure he voted
for. Surely man of such Intelligence,
Or rather.Such lack Of intelligence, is
not worthy to be entrusted with the
public interest. nor should fair-minded,
intelligent mon ever cast vote for such
a self-confessed donkey--BelIe PLANE

1t Dunnell was man of principle and
honorable sensibilities, he would be
more diffident in asking Republican
support for reelection. Twice he bolt
ed Milo White. and then John A. Love
ly, and secretly did his best to defeat
them BOTH. In the caseaef Mr.. Lovely,
he refused to take the stump or make a
sign in his behalf, and privately advised
his friends to oppose him. More than
all other influences combined, Dunnell
was responsible for Mr.. Loveiy's de-
feat, and it will be remarkable if the
latter's friends forget and fail to repay.

We have heard that Gov. Merriam
has been accused of being the farmers
friend because binding twine factory
is to be established at Saltwater. But
how is that. anyhow? Did not the COM
mittee appointed by Merriam two years
ago come back and report that it would
cost million or so, and was therefore
impracticable? Did not the Alliance re-
vlve the scheme last spring, and was it
not on their demand that another COM
mittee investigated and reported that
the cost would be merely nominal, and
was not that the reason that Minnesota
will have a Irvine factory? Give the
devil his due, and don't accuse our good
business governor of something that
he is entirely innocent of.-Polk Jour

The kick against the unjust grading
OF wheat is growing harder and harder
and threats of the farmers louder and
deeper. There is no question that

The Duluth Herald, which is ortho-
dox Republican, finds this very signifi-
cant and not at all cheerful status of
the Scandinavian press in that con-
gressional district: ''The attitude of
the five Scandinavian newspapers in
the Fifth congressional district of Min
