Our morning contemporary, the
Tribune, is moving steadily along in its
efforts to read the Times out of the
Republican party, because it opposes
Gov. Merriam. Neighbur, it is a USE
less endeavOr. Because a Republican
paper cannot brook corruption and ma
chlnism in party and dareS to say that
the interests of Duluth are paramount
to the election of a single Republican
candidate is not ground enough to put
1t outside the party. Before the Trib-
une reads rs out it ought to be sure of
its own Republican doctrines. That
paper, until the campaign became
warm. was thorough advocate of low
bill, which the party is now supporting.

Moreover, the tariff law has duty of
20 cents Oh wheat. When a farmer
wants few bushels for seed he must
pay that duty; but when the big miilerS
of Minneapolis buy Canada wheat they
pay the duty. mill the wheat in transit.
and when it leaves the port of New
York they receive back the 20 cents a
bushel on the wheat. This is how the
tariff is worked TO save the big milers.

When the question arises as to the

candidates for governor. one thing must
not be overlooked. Gov. Merriam has

officials. Each of these is working
