OUR CANDIDATE.
What the Press and the people think
OF Judge Page Morris, the nominee for
congress in this district-the man who
will succeed Hon. Chas. A. Towne;
Judge Morris is by far the most avail
able Republican in the district for the
congressional candidacy in opposition
to Towne. Heis an tabler p,an than
..ySuwne and far more sensible and judi
cious. . He stands high in therespect and
confidence OF the people Of Duluth and of
Republicans throughout the district. He
will carry the district by alarge majority
against Towpe. He will not only have
the support of nearly The whole body of
Republicans throughout the district, but
OF thousands of sound money Democrats
besides. The nominations of: Judge
Morris will seal the political doom of
Mr.. Towns and of. the cause which. he
represents in the Sixth Observation-Disclosures
Press.
Judge Morris seems to lie an ideal
candidate. he did not seek the place.
but, surrrnders position more agree
able to him and accepts the nomination
for congress in answer to the call of
duty, because, for various reasons, he is
regarded as the strongest candidate
that could be nominated. Mr.. Morris
is said to be an orator quite equal TO
Mr.. Towne, and he will challenge the
latter gentleman to public discussion
and meet him on the stump througout
the district.-Minneapolis Tribune.
Judge Page Morris of Duluth, is the
man who will take c. A. Townes place
III the lower house OF congress when the
latters time expires. He was nominal
ted at St. Cloud Yesterday and Is a very
popular man and will easily carry the
district. Park Rapids Enterprise.
Judge Page Morris is foeman worthy
OF Towne's steel, and the contest in the
Sixth district this year is going to be
one of the most interesting in the United
States. We do not underestimate Mr..
Towne's ability. His skill in saying
plausible things in a taking way is un-
usual. AS a stump speaker he is
great success. He knows all the tricks
and al is of the clever orator who ap-
peals to the prejudfces of his audience
rather than to their good sense and their
judgment. and employs that knowledge
to his great personal advantage. When
1T comes to debate, however, the situa-
ton will be different. 1t will be neces-
sary for Mr.. Towne to come down to
full and complete statements of facts.
Halt truths will no longer meet the case.
Judge Morris proposes to take the
stump with Mr.. Townc, and the Sixth
district congressman will have to deal
with facts rather than fancy, Judge
Morris is quite as able man AS Mr..
Towne. He has the advantage of hav-
ing the right side of the question, and
the republicans of the Sixth district
begin the campaign with full confidence
OF success.-Minneapolis Journal.
The nomination comes to Judge Nor
ris unsought and should be and no
doubt is, peculiarly gratifying, in spite
of any reluctance he may feel in leaving
the district bench of this Judicial district.
For ten years he has been an honored
citizen OF this community and at the
fore in everv good work or movement of
material development. 1t NAV truly be
said he is not new or untried man, the
Old Dominion is his birthplace and all
The essence Of "Ole Virginn" IS in him,
pure and undefled. OF broad, liberal
education, a trained lawyer; an exper-
fenced judge, handsome in person, his
features classic in their perfection, en-
gaglng in manners, an orator OF no in
consider able power, in the prime of hfc,
but 43, head oi family. with home
where love and music and the sweet
of life are the arbiters of
action, any constituency might well
feel PROUD and honored in having such a
candidate and Duluth is justly so 81 her,
new candidate. His head measured in
inches IS as large as Mr.. Towne's, but
will not suffer expansion or enlargement
along lines OF agrarianism, Reputation,
sectlonalism or airy nothingnesses.
Judge Morris will be elected and prove
his popularity in the coming Campaign
and will not in any coltish manner
jump political fences to seek other pas
lures for something more succulent than
he may be sure to find at home. He is
with the party for stability, permanence.

nominated as the republican candidate

district, at st. Cloud yesterday. He
will defeat Renegade Towne and will
make much better congressman than

lacks, of loyalty to his. friends and his
