NOT THROUGH WITH LIND YET.
Second District Papers Comment on the
Story that he is out of Politics.

Story that he is out of Politics.
Mr.. Lind may not be able to get out
of politics even it be wants to. The
people of this state have need of such
men as he and they may make demands
upon him in the future which he cannot
refuse to comply with.-Luverne Her.

In conversing with prominent Re.
publican of this district, who stands
pretty close to the throne of power, we
were informed that John Lind would
again be the nominee for congress in the
next campaign. He said John Lind
would never retire with a measlV 500
majority after four years of service.
The man who gets that nomination be.
fore John Lind gets through wanting
it has got to be bigger man than lives
in this district to-day.-St. Peter Her.
aid.
The Minneapolis Journal of Monday
has telegram from New Ulm stating
that Congressman Lind says he is out
of politics at present and that he was
discreet as to the future. If the people
want Mr.. Lind to continue to serve
them as congressman, and we oplne
they may, we are sure he will not de-
cline. No one so far suggested is to be
compared to him as ar-headed and
faithful officer. Barring his vote for
the Mckinley abominatiop, his record
is one for the people of the Second dis
trict to be proud of. Lind will succeed
mself.-Springfiell Advance.
Senator Frank A. Day, of Fairmont,
is getting considerable notoriety through
the country press just ct present, for the
credit of an interview had in St. Paul last
week, wherein he is quoted as declaring
that Congressman Lind will retire from
politics at the conclusion of his present
term. The Senator, among other things,
is charged with saying that ''there will
be no use in ying to run him LIND for
Governor, for am positive that he will
not accept the nomination from
what he told me.' The Free Press
does not believe that Mr.. Lind will
ask further honars from his party.
but that he would decline a NOM
ination for Governor if such were ten.
dered him, we do not believe, neither
are we prepared to accept the state
ment that he has given any one any in-
tlmation of this kind which would war
rant the assurance given out by Mr..
Day. In the first place, Mr.. Lind would
not be justified in presuming to decline
something which had not been rendered
to him: and in the second place he could
hardly refuse to serve his party if called
upon. It may be safely assumed, there
fore, that either Mr.. Day has been mis-
quoted or he has permitted himself to
draw conclusions not we'll founded in
fact.-Mankato Free Press, L. P. Hunt S

There are many deserving and able
men in the party in the second district;
but there is no one whose nomination
would not cause tenfold more disap-
pointment and bitterness and division
among leaders. than would the renoml.
nation of John Lind. For the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Lind would please nine
tenths of the Republican voters of the
district, and the preferences of the re.
naming tenth are divided between
nearly dozen probable or possible can.
didates, no one of whom will be the
first choice of even one Republican vot-
er out OF 12 in the district. Nor is there
a man in the district who can unite the
Republican party and draw as many
Alliance votes as John Lind, who has
been tried and not found wanting, and
commands the respect of the members
of all parties. I believe the masses of
the Republican party, realizing the real
situation, will again call upon John
Lind to lead them to victory in the con-
gressional fight in the Second district;
and the writer is mistaken in the man,
if Mr.. Lind refuses to comply with the
wishes of his united followers, thereby
making Democratic victory in this
district very possible. Certain leaders,
with certain axes to grind, can cheer
fully read Mr.. Lind out of politics; but
the people hold the ballots in their
hands, and propose to cast them for
their own choice, and that choice is un-
questionably John Lind A. Funk
