Stearns county, until St. Louis county
grew to position of influence in the Sixth
district, dominated Sixth district Republican
. politics. You remember the story of the
two boys, one of whom was eating an apple.
tsLet me have the CORE said the second
boy. "There amt goin' to be no core,
was the reply of the first boy. So in the
Sixth district. Whenever there has been 9
chance toget anything for the district, either
in the way, of state or federal office, Stearns
county has usually managed 10 gobble il
and the rest OF the district hasn't even had
the core, save on rare occasions. Now this
would not have been so bad had Stearns
county ever been Republican county, but
with all the good things that have gone tc
it in the way of patronage, it still stands on!
as the most hopelessly Democratic county in
the state.
Stearns county had Gilman for lieutenant
governor three terms, and now has him as
state librarian. She had Barto as lieutenant
governor, Collins is now on the supreme
bench from that county, Searle was for -four
years United States district attorney and is
now on the district bench. The county has
usually held both of the land offices, and sc
it has gone. Meanwhile, in. addition to real.
ly capturing good many fat places, the
county has tried to capture many more. Il
had Judge Scarf as a candidate for congress
1t had Gilman twice ,as a candidate for gov
ernor, and only recently had Westerman as
candidate for state treas irer and Bruckar'
a candidate for attorney general.
These are things that will be remembered
against the county next year, should it pre-
sent Judge Collins for governor, and if the
opposition candidates make, proper use O
them, it may be out Of the question for Col
lins to get the solid Sixth district delegation
Jerry J, in Minneapolis Journal
While the above fragmentary state
ment of political history is true, it is
misleading. 1t has served as a stocl
argument against Republican aspira
tions, by Stearns county Republicans,
in every convention in which Stearns
has come in rivalry with other candi.
dates for recognition for years. And
yet it is equally true that Stearns
county Sepublicans have held fewer
Offices than any county in the state
containing an equal Republican vote
That fact has never chilled the ardol
of the Republicans Of the county foi
the welfare Of the party
It was once said in a Sixth district
convention that St. Louis and Stearns
were the two banner Republican
counties III the district In the former

r the quantity Gifts Republicanism,
the latter for its quality. During the
past fifteen years there has been but
one Republican elected to a county
office, SO far as the HERALD remem-
bers and he was reelected by proving
recreant, his election being on purely
sentimental grounds, and made pos
sible by bitter feud in the opposi-
tion. Notwithstanding this fact the
Republicans of the county have al
ways presented solid front, strong
ly organized and aggressive. To rec
ogniae this very much needed support
and strength in the wider field of
district, state and federal politics was
not only eminently fair, but eminently
wise from a purely political stand
point.
Stearns county Republicans have
never been accorded more recognition
than they were entitled to receive.
They are Republicans because they
are Republicans tried and never
found wanting, welded in the furnace
of loyalty upon the anvil of devotion.
When some other county furnishes
better and more distinguished Repub-
licans, then it will be proper to sheer
at Stearns.

The harvest fields of the Dakotas have

and the great scarcity of men in that city
has caused an increase in wages from 20 to
