Candidate Eustis tells the Republican state
committee not to spend any campaign money
on the country weeklies. This coming from
man who Is supposed to have spent $4,000
to get the support of his own county before
the state convention, will give the country
editors the marble heart. Mr. Eustis thinks
country papers should devote space to him in
the interest of humanity, but he will find
there Is difference of opinion as to that
st. Paul Herald.
Mr.. Eustis' special champions. with less
discretion than zeal. raise the Guaranty
Loan issue and prate about Mr.. Eustis'
name having been used by the "swindlng
company" without his permission. This Is
pure rot, and the less said about it the bet-
ter, SO far as Mr.. Eustis is concerned Mr..
Eustis was director Of the infamous Guar
anty Loan concern. his name was used IS
a director because he was a director and
the record, unless it has been DESTROYED ,e-
Gently, as is limited. viii show that he par
tlcipated in the meetings Of the directors of
tnat unholy fraud. The writer knows where
OF OF he speaks having long since investigated
the matter, because he was personally in
terested in an investigation of the facts Ths
less said about the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan swindle the better, SO far as the Re-
pupilcan nominee for governor is concerned,
and his fool friends should touch the s,Ih,
Ject hghtly.-Big Stone County Journal.
James Gray. city editor of the Minneapolis
Times. is the Democratic candidate for

he gets rich, brown roast from some news

The statement that the Republican state
campaign is to be conducted at an expense
not to exceed $3.50 this year is provoking
some comment. Eustis is popular candi-
oate and will make an excellent campaign
and Eustis will be elected by a large majority
but 1t will cost a great deal more than So, 500

The political editor of the St. Paul Dispatch
was bitten by dog the other day, and
strange as it may seem, the dog did not die
1t had to be killed.-Little Falls Herald.
Be careful Mr. Eustis, about talking ton
much about that $500 campaign fund, or
the enthusiasm Of some of your up-country
friends will wane most surprisingly
Wheelock's Weekly.
The state campaign is distressingly quiet
just at present. The Eustis forces are so GER
tain of a sweeping victory in November that
they consider it useless to work in the heat
of August. The followers Of Mr.. Lind have
not yet opened either their purses or the
CdHpd1Sn anu are PROBABLY waiting for the
Republicans to begin the attack. A hard
fought campaign would tend to clear the po-
litical atmosphere in Minnesota.-Faribault

The thought of John Lind coming home and
carrying on his own campaign is worrying
the minds of many of our Republican ex-
changes. There is no reason why he shouldn't
come back for that purpose, and no re-
Election could be cast upon him for doing so
either. He has shown what stuff he is made
of and his patriotism cannot be questioned.
A person enlisting in the time of war and
resigning when peace has been declared Is
not doing anything dishonorabie, although
try and make out that he has done something
cowardly.-swift County Monitor.
Those timid politicians who profess a fear
that Mr.. Eustis will do to Senator Nelson
what that gentleman did to Senator Wash
burn, are needlessly alarmed. Mr.. Nelson
occupies different position before the peo-
pie than that occupied by Mr.. Washburn
four years ago, and the difference amounts
to just this; The people are anxious and
determined to keep Mr.. Nelson in the United
States senate. while four years ago they were
seeking some excuse for retiring Mr.. Wash
burn, who had failed signally in making
himself even partially satisfactory to the
masses. Mr. Eustis is comparatively new
man in state politics and he is shrewd enough
to know that whatever aspirations for the
United States senate he may cherish must be
stilled for some time to come.-Ortonville
Herald-Sta
The st. Paul G o b e in its frantic efforts
to work up sentiment against Mr.. Eustis is
running it's head against stone wall. AS
verify Mr.. Eustis is too we'll known and his
sentiments have so many times been ex-
pressed on the rostrum that it is needless
to reiterate that his loyalty to the old soldier
needs any defense from us. The G l o b g s
effort to belittle him in the eyes Of the people
is simply cheap clap-trap and is a shade
coarser than its hubbub about the manage
ment of the state prison at saltwater over
a year ago.-Renvil1e Star Farmer.
Some of the would-be leaders of the Re-
