HoMILIES AT HOTELS.

HUMILtES AT HOTELS.
Hon. W. F. Kelso, the bonanza farmer of
hittson county, is in the city looking after
some business matters. This is his first visit
to st. Paul since last July, and he will remain
for several days. Although comparatively
young man, Mr.. Kelso Isl one of the few men
who have had chance to go 10 congress and
refused it. a little over a year ago the
farmers of the Fifth district met in conven-
ton in Fergus Falls and. after looking over
the field, offered Mr.. Kelso their nomination
for representative, He declined because Of
his business. which demanded all of his
time, and the honor was given Hon. Kittel
Halvorsen, of Stearns county, who is now
representing the district at Washington.
Had Mr.. Kelso taken this nomination
he would also have been made the
Democratic nominee and his majority would
have been as large as those the district was
accustomed to give ex-Congressman Knute
Nelson. But Mr.. Kelso is not grieving over
the situation at all and in fact feels decidedly
good over the results of the past seasons
crops. He finished threshing some time ago,
and when all the returns were in he he found
that he had nearly $1,000 bushels of wheat,
nearly all of which is of the highest grade.
Il think we were very fortunate" said Mr..
kelso, in getting our threshing done, con-
siderilg the weather. The crop was fine
one, and in the Red river valley we have
only one complaint to make. and it is that
the weather prevented us doing the usual
amount of blowing for the next crops. This
will necessitate great deal OF spring work.
If the spring opens early this will not be a
serious matter, buff ithappens TO commence
late it Will serve to decrease the acreage next
year"

Mr.. Kelso is. of course, anxious to see st,
Paul secure the Democratic national con-
-Eention and thinks her chances are away up.
Before locating in Minnesota Mr.. Kelso was
one of the Democratic leaders in Michigan
and is well acquainted with the leaders
there, and he thinks that when Detroit finds
she cannot secure the prize her support will
be thrown to ST. Paul. The fact that the Re-
publicans will meet in Minneapolis ought to
make the success of st. Paul almost certain,
Mr. Kelso thinks.
IF the Republicans he said, consider 1t
good politics to move upon the Northwest it
seems TO me that the same consideration
would apply in the case of the Democrats.
The Democratic gains in the Northwest in
the past few years have been phenomenal
and everything ought to be done to encour-
age this growth

Hon. Henry Feig. Kandiyohi's representa-
tive in the lower house Of the state legisla-
rure' was IN the city yesterday, attending a
meeting of the board of audit of the state
fair association. Mr.. Feig reports that the
three principal towns of his county have
raised Kandiyohi's proportion of the extra
$4,000 demanded by the worlds fair COM
mission. These towns are Willmar, Atwater
Mr
not like this way of raising the money. and
IS sorry that more time was not given.
HAD they waited a few days." said he, "a
call would have been issued for meeting to
apportion the amount among the towns OF
the county III proportion to the assessed val
uation of each. and then l favored making
donation and thus remove the matter from
politics. As it is, the question of passing
BIN appropriating $4,000 to reimburse the
men who guarantee this money will be car
Tied into the legislative contests next year,
and will cause no end of trouble. For this
reason think the money should have been
raised by subscription. The share Of my
township would have been but $40, and
would have guaranteed to raise II in dollar
subscriptions
u
