WILL HENNEPIN STAND BY HIM?
Window Reporter:
If the Republicans of Hennepin

Renville Star Farmer
During these turbulent days of war
and war talk, Senator Q. X. Davis is
covering himself with glory by his
able counsel and forceful handling of
Cuban affairs as chairman of the SEN

thority on international law.
THE SECOND WILL BE SOLID FOR
EUsTIs.
Heron Lake News:
The signs of the times point to Will
liam II. Eustis as the next Republican
nominee for governor. Reports from
Hennepin county regarding his can

admitted on all sides that if Eustis
carries Hennepin county. he will be
the nominee of the next state conven-

easily carry that county.
''LET THEM KICK"
Winona Republican:
Some of the people who have all
along done their worst to embarrass
| the administration say the message
is not satisfactory. OF course it is
not satisfactory to them. If the Al
mighty had dictated the message it
would not have been satisfactory to
the jingoes, as long s President Nc
KinleJ's name adorned it. The
enemies of the administration are
bound to find fault, anyway, and it
| is a mere waste of time to endeavor
to placate them. AS the Cleveland
Leader bluntly remarks: "Let them
| kick!
