Mr.. Wolf who has been register of
deeds for the last four years, and who
was defeated IN the democratic conven-
ton for the nomination by julie Lind
sted, is now running as an Independent
candidate for that Office. Nothing could
be more unwise and those who ceunseled
Mr.. Wolf 10 this action have done him SER
lous injury. There is no possible chance
OF his election. There never has been an
independent move of this kind successful
ID this county and in the present instance
there is no justification for it. Ordinarily,
independent candidacy is in the interests
of the nominee on the opposing ticket,
but 1t is safe to say that Mr.. Guetzloe,
the republican nominee, has not sought
to improve his chances in this way. If
there had been suggestion of unfairness
IN the manner in which Mr.. Lirdsted Sc
cured his nomination, or if Mr.. Wolf had
any reason to hope that his election was
remote possibility, there might be some
reason from a business standpoint,
though none in political sense, in COM
ing out as an independent candidate
against the regular nominee. But Mr.
Llndsted is competent, there has not
been breath of suspicion that he secur-
ed his nomination unfairly, and though
but young man he has done the party
service IN many campaigns. Those who
knew his father, the man who never ask
ed reward for his untiring service in be-
half of the party will act fairly with the
son now that he seeks their suffrages.
The fact that he has an opponent in his
own party, through no fault of his, should
make his friends more diligent in his
support.
SOME years ago candidates for office
feared to go to Maple Grove on election
eerlng tours as it was deemed a very ex-
pensive place. On Sunday last a num-
Der of the candidates were there and were
SO pleased with the people and the re-
ception they received that they protract-
ed their visit long beyond what was
originally intended. The audience which
gathered in the evening would be credit
to any town. 1t was a thoughtful, at
tentlve and courteous crowd largely
made up of young men. Maple Grove
has been unfortunate in never having had
a school of such commanding ability as
to impress upon the people the value of
a liberal education. There is as good ma
terlal in that section for bright, able men
fit to adorn any walk in life, as con be
found any where in the state. The con-
versation and bright intelligent faces of
the young men are proof of this. A pub
lie library and school which would
command respect would do marvels in
the development of the material SO liber-
ally furnished by that section popularly
known as maple Grove"
