and Say About Our Next
Congressman.
Detroit Record:
Hon. f. M. Eddy, Republican can
didate for Congress from this dis
trict, visited Becker county this week
and addressed the people Of Frazee
on Tuesday evening and of Lake
Park on Wednesday evening, accom-
panied by G. Nj. Johnson, who also
spoke briefly upon the issues OF the
campaign. Both meetings were Well
attended, thus showing desire on
the part of the voters to hear the ar
gument which the parties have to al
vance, before they go to the polls and
pronounce the verdict of the ballot
This is as it should be. Voters should
lose no opportunity to hear the speak
ers of either their own or opposing
parties. An intelligent ballot is all
that is desired to insure the safety OF
this nation. Mr.. Eddy proved HIM
self an easy, fluent speaker, and at
once convinced his hearers ofthe hon
esty of his convictions and purposes
He came into this county stranger
to our people, but during his short
visit he has convinced all with whom
he has come in contact that no mis-
take will be made in electing him to
represent the district in Congress.
Grant County Herald;
From present indications Eddy will
have plurality of the votes in every
county in this congressional district,
with the exceptions of Traverse, Polk,
Marshall and Kittson. In Grant,
Clay and Norman the result will OF
course be close as between Eddy and
Boen, but Eddy will have comfortable
pluralities in the other nine counties
and will be elected.
Fergus Falls Journal:
ULEN, Clay county, Sept. l5.-Hon
Frank NJ. Eddy, the Republican can
didate for congress, addressed large
audience here last evening. Mr., Ed
dy made fine impression upon his
audience and went away with many
assurances of support. Heimpressed
the people as an able, candid man
who would not advocate what he did
not believe was for the good OF the
people simply to get an office. There
is no buncomb about him. His ex-
PLANTATION of the financial schemes OF
the Populists and notably Congress
man Boen were fair and honest and
the voters present realized tor once
that it was not only absolutely impos-
sible to put them in force, but if they
did become laws ruin and disaster
would follow. Mr.. Eddy was very
courteous in his remarks not only to-
ward his opponents but also to
those present who differed from him
If Mr.. Eddy is as successful in his
school house campaigns as he has
been in this section of Clay county,
his election is certain.
Browns Valley Tribune,
Mayor Mclean, of Fergus Falls,
has been nominated by the Demo
Gratis as candidate for Congress in
this, the Seventh district. Some OF
the weakened Democrats made an
effort to endorse Boon, but it was no
go. AS Messrs. Boen and Mclean
are both residents of Fergus Falls in
Otter Tail county, and as Mayor Nc
Lean is by far the most popular, it is
conceded that he will not only poll
his full party vote but
will draw largely from Boen's
forces in that county. On the whole
the outlook is very bright for Mr..
Eddy and his most sanguine sup
porters now predict his election by
not less than $1,000 plurality.
One of the most interesting topics
of the day is undoubtedly co-educa-
ton, and Demorest's Family Maya
zine, with characteristic enterprise,
has set before its readers in the Oc-
tober number most excellent SYM
postum on this important question.
The contributors to it are among the
best known educators of the country
and comprise such names as, James
NJ Taylor, Charles. I'll. Knox, Ed
mund P. Platt, and S. S. Packard
AS all of these men have very decid-
ed opinions on the subject and are
authorities on educational matters
their views cannot fail to be interest
ing. Society Fads" and "Chat" are
full of interesting talk on timely top
les; and the other departments of the
magazine all contribute to keep this
most excellent periodical up to it's us
ual high standing.
