man we want. - -Graceyille Enterprise.
Washburn has other bitter enemies in
and outside the legislature who are not
idle The senatorship is prize which
might we'll tempt any man, and no one
can blame Mr. Nelson for accepting
Canton Leader.
What does Minnesota owe w. D.
Washburn? Ninety-nine per cent of
the people will say absolutely nothing.
He was elected six years ago by metll-
DDS that were said to be disgracetul.
The evidence at the investigation was
serious against him and his friends. In
payment for the fat he should be left at
home and an OUTSIDE the ring man
elected to succeed him.-Sleepy Eye
Herald.
IF the Legislature should decide to
send ssMr. Comstock to the senate the
people Of Minnesota may rest assured
lhat their interests will thereby be
placed in the hands of one who will see
to it that they are properly taken care
of.-Warren Register.

Just see ''Nelson'' loom up as a dark
horse" candidate. The way is being
nicely paved for it now. If he should
steadfastly refuse to allow his name 10
be used, il would be one Of the most re-
markable incidents OF magnanimity on
record, and would be absolute proof

entitled to the credit of possessing an
active brain Of even ordinary quality.
Nelson is not a fOol.-Le Sueur Senti-
mel.
Gov. Nelson has at last acceded to the
repeated demands which have been
made upon him, and will be a candidate
for United States senator. His election
is foregone conclusion, as he is the
only candidate whom the opposition to
Washburn can concentrate On.-CroOkS-
ton Tribune.
We are inclined TO the belief that Nell
son will he the United States senator if
WaShburn Is defeated, which is hardly
probable, although possible saltwater

According to every indication w. D.
WaShburn hasn't lead-pipe cinch on
his reelection to the United States SEN
ate. The Tribune believes that it is to
the interest of Minnesota that he should
be defeated, providing some good, hon.
orable man is elected in his place. Mr..
Washburn is one of the little coterie
who have mon0pOlized the control of
the Republican party i'll Minnesota for
years at the expense Of the producers.

bOrers or the great farming community

At present the indications are that
Knute Nelson will be the next United
States senator. There Is no Disgusting
the fact that Washburn is not popular
in the country districts, and if the seu-
ator were elected by popular vote
WaShburn would not have been in it a
lit tie bit-Slayton Gazette.

When Knute Nelson was running for
governor he was such good man that
leading Republicans succeeded in coax
ing a lot OF Wekkneed Democrats to
help elect him Just to keep the Populists
out. Now that he dare anr0unce him.
self as candidate for the United
States senate against W. y, Washburn,
nothing seems too bad fer these same
leading Republicans to say about him
anything to keep him at home. Any
thing and everything to save Washbufn
seems to be the motto.-Buffalo Gazette.

We should be pleased to see Mr.. Nc.
Cleary elected, as he is in every way
the peer of Washburn. but it is not
ability so much as political pull that
will count in this matter.-Mapleton

AS between Comstock and Washburn,
the former is undoubtedly the ablest
man for the position of senator, being a
very learned man, as we'll as man who
has worked his way from an humble
position to that OF honor and credit.
Ii Comstock or any man who is wanted

his place only by Doodle, the cry SO
often heard for he election of United
States senators by the direct vote of the
people would be greatly lessened. -
Chippewa County Review.
Mr.. McCleary is an able man, and it
would be hard TO find person better
qualified for the position. -Litchfsld
Review.
Mr.. Comstock is one of the brainiest
men in the state, and is also one of the
strongest men in the northern part OF
the state. A successful business man,
who made strong member of congress
during his term, we doubt whether
| there is another man in the northern
| half of the state who can command SC
large personal following. One of the
reasons why Mr. COmstock is so strOng
politically is that he is an able leader,
and never forgets his friends. AT the
time Of the Nelson kindred fight he was
a prominent figure, and was one of the
strongest of the Nelson leaders. If any
one thluks that MI. Comstock is not a
fighter they had best turn back to the
history Of that fight, and they will
quickly change their mind. d.-Echo En-

Minneapolis ought not lose the United
States senatorship. If Washburn can't
be elected, bring out stronger and
better man. Anoka Union.
