Because Judge Collins refused to
lower the dignity of the position he
now holds, by STOPPING to employ the
means of low Intriguing politician
in order to become a candidate for
governor he has lost his hold upon the
Sixth. That is what the Herald's art
icle will be taken to mean. While at
Duluth last week the judge stated his
position fully. He said he would give
his individual attention to the duties
of the Office with which the people had
already honored him and if his friends
nominated him for governor, he would
accept it. Does the Herald thin that
the Sixth district is going to turn a
man down because he insists on doing
his duty? In such is it's idea, it is very
much mistaken. Judge Collins cause
will grow stronger, as time advances,
and convention day will find the Sixth
solidly arrayed for him.-Grand Rap

Preparations are on foot among the Hebrews Of

two sections OF Zionsts one agitating the question
from tho national point OF view. and the other M

head OF those who desire that tne agitation shall be
mainly religious f. the Rev. DR.. Klein head or the
Hungarian congregations The Hungarans are de-
youtly orthodox while Dr. Gotthells adherents are
mainly Reformed Jews. Or. Gottheil is the only
rabbi OF the liberal school who IS connected with
the Zionist movement. but the Russian-PoIsh or
thodox Jews have accepted his leadership IN many
instances in preference TO that OF Rabbi Klein. De-
cause they believe that the national spirit rallies
more adherents TO the cause OF Iiohlsm IMAM uoe"
