GENERAL BECKER'S RECORD.

State - Minor Political
Gossip.

And still they are deserting Knute
Nelson.
The tide is setting strongly toward
Gen. Becker, and before the day OF elec-
ton his victory will be made certain.
The Northwestern Agriculturist has,
In manly article canvassing the situ-
alton, decided to support Gen. Becker.
The editor is a lifelong Republican,
having filled several diplomatic posi-
tions under Republican national ad-
m,nistrations, and bases his decision
solely ON the ground of the public
good. The editor and owner OF the
Northwestern Agriculturist is none
other than P. V. Collins, the former
publisher of the ST. Peter Tribune, the
Republican organ of Nicollet county.
The Agriculturst finds itself unable
to indorse Mr.. Owen because of the
wild financial propositions approved by
him, while the Prohibition candidate,
Prof. Hilleboe. he states. is a man of
limited experience and unproven ca
pacity. The editor next wades into
Gov Nelson and tells just why he can.

The statement of Editor Collins re-
garding the position of the Scandinavian
press of the Northwest can be made
even stronger by the simple statement
that both of these papers are controlled
by men holding appointments from
Gov. Nelson.
