i'' II. L. HULBURD.
Our Candidate for Congress.
st, Cloud Journal Press: Hon. Hem
ry Feig of Kandiyohi county is the
Republican candidate for congress in
the Seventh district. He is young
man of ability, energetic and popular.
While the district went Alliance two
years ago, it is believed that the Re
publieans have good chance to win.
The nomination of Mr.. Feig indicates
that they are going to make lively
fight.
Benson Times: The Republicans OF
the Seventh district have nominated
Henry Feig of Kandiyohi county for
congress. It is an excellent nomina-
ton. He is farmer, young, bright,
aggressive and popular. He was a
member of the last legislature and one
of the most influential members in it..
He is German by birth, and strong
with the Alliance, and known to be a
man of good judgment. His record
is good, his skirts are clean, and being
a tiller of the soil himself, he knows
their wants, and if elected, as it is be-
lieved he will be, will make member
of congress against whom no farmer
can complain.
Herman Enterprise: Henry Feig of
Kandiyohi county was nominated at
the Republican congressional conven-
ton held at Moorhead. His nomina-
ton gives general satisfaction and he
stands good show of being elected.
Hurrah for Feig!
The Grant County Herald says that
the nomination of Mr.. Feig ''is wise
and strong nomination for the Repub-
leans"
Willmar Republican Gazette: On
the 10th ballot, when Mr.. Feig was
declared nominated, his nomination
was made unanimous, and amid great
enthusiasm he delivered an eloquent
speech. The convention made an ex
cellent choice, and, the fact that Mr..
Feig is farmer will make him a very
strong candidate. He will conduct a
vigorous campaign and will undoubt-
edly represent this district in the next
congress.
Hon. E. E. Corli SIS of Fergus Falls,
speaking of politics in the Seventh
district, today said: Il think Feig
has good show for getting a major
ity of the congressional vote in our
county. Boon has good many of the
bitterest enemies a man ever had
among the Alliance men of the county.
He has more arrogance than Sockless
Simpson, and lacks a good deal of
having his ability. He appears to
have an idea that he owns the United
States now, and if he is elected there
will be no bounds to his overbearing
disposition. Several strong Peoples
party men have told me that they
might as well move out of the district
if Boon was elected. Halvorson is a
modest man and does no particular
harm, but Boon would be a detriment.
On this account Feig will get much
larger ryote than a Republican could
otherwise hope for.
Fergus Falls Journal: The Moor
head convention furnished surprise
for the state in the nomination of Hon.
Henry Feig, Kandiyohi county
farmer for congress, but it was the
first step for the restoring the Seventh
district to the Republican ranks. The
convention, according to all reports,
was eminently fair one and from the
beginning to end was harmonious.
The Seventh is an agricultural district
and it is but just that farmer should
be selected to represent it. Mr.. Feig
is farmer and what is more, he tills
the soil with his own hands, earning
his living thereby. He is young
German, Minnesota born, however.
He is 30 years of age. He is good
speaker in English and talks and
writes German just as well. Dur
ing the past few years he has written
good deal for the German papers
upholding the Republican doctrines.
When the Alliance movement started
he joined it with the other farmers Of
Kandiyohi county He discussed
with them grievances from which they
thought the farmers suffered. He
acted with the Alliance as long as it
Yves non-political organization.
When it went into the horsetrading
business he said to them: II believe
an the Republican party and princi-
pies, and if you attempt to run the
Alliance into political party I am
done" They did SO and he declined
