OUR CANDIDATES.

control of the present owners, we
said that in politics our preferences
were with the G.. o. P. It is now
time that we began to declare our
selves for some of the candidates
now in the field.
The first whom it is our delight to
endorse, one who is citizen of
Morris, is Judge c. L. Brown fol
associate justice on the supreme
bench of Minnesota. Judge Browns
nomination is becoming more and
more of an assured fact every day.
Few of the papers are saying
much about his candidacy just now
for the very good reason that they
have all written their eulogies and
declared for his candidacy. Judge
Browns success upon the district
bench, his extended knowledge of
the law, and above all his integrity
and uprightness as a fellow towns
man and friend makes him the choice
not only of the people of Morris but
of the whole congressional district.
Any interests which might have made
it appear that the seventh district will
not throw its whole strength for him,
have now practically disappeared.
No other one candidate from this
section of the state is prominent
enough to draw out the united
strength of the seventh district ex-
cept Judge Brown.
A further indication of our favor
ties popularity is the readiness with
which he has been taken up by the
other papres of the state in return for
the cordial endorsement which has
been given JudgesCanty and Mitchell
who are this year candidates to sue
coed themselves. The judiciary should
be kept out of politics as much as
possible, and in order to keep it out
of partisan strife, broad-minded and
judicially-gifted men are necessity
as candidates. The Republican party
of Minnesota has no better representa-
tive of just this kind of man than
Judge G. L. Brown, of Morris.

Speaking of probable Legislative
candidates in this district the Orion
vile Herald Star, among other things
says:
Traverse county is expected to pre-
sent the name of J. Schain, a repu-
table business man of Browns Valley
and Grant county will doubtless
again unite upon Hon. L. o. Foss, for
the members of the lower house, leav-
ing Stevens county to select the SEN
ator and there should not be any
doubt but that this selection will fall
upon Hon. E. j. Jones, who so cred
ltably represented the old district in
the senate. Senator Jones was use
full and creditable member whose
services the district could lily afford
to lose. Although new man he
took very high rank at once, and
was classed among the strong men of
the senate, which as whole was the
ablest Legislative body that ever con
Vened in the state.
We do not know just what Grant or
Traverse county will do in the matter
OF legislative candidates, but we do
know what Stevens county will do.
1t will present the name of Hon. E. J.
Jones as a candidate for state senate
to succeed himself. There will be no
opposition to him here. Our dele
gates to the legislative convention
will be unit for him, and we conf
IDENTITY believe that Grant and Tray
erse counties will cheerfully aid in
his denomination by reclamation.
We regard and esteem him as one of
the ablest and shrewdest of the pub
lie men in this part of the state; hon
orable, bload-guaged and liberal in
his views, he commands the conf
dence and respect of all parties. His
record of fidelity to the interests of
the people of his district commends
him as entirelv yuortbu Tho o,rooI
