A POLITICAL TALK,
DR.. johnson States His Views
on Political Matters.

[ have had several requests from
warm political friends in this county
to go out and address them in this
campaign. have so far been unable
to comply with their requests on ac-
count Of professional duties, and take
this way of briefly stating my views
on the political situation. The pres
ent state campaign involves no ques-
ton of national politics. The state
ticket involves state matters only.
For governor we have two candi-
dates to choose between-Mr. Eustis

and Mr.. Lind. For while Mr.. L. G.
Long is also in the field he stands no
show of election, and practically
speaking we have to choose between
Mr.. Lind and Mr.. Eustis, no matter
what anybody may say to the con-
trary.

caused loss to the village of large

'gang'' just watch the operations Of
our politicians in county and village
affairs, or go over and look at the
Foot Lake dump and you will not
doubt any longer that ''gang" exists
but be fully convinced that it is ma
chine of no small dimensions.

Feig is making campaign for Gre
form' on the platform he wrote up for
the republican county convention. He
gives the rest of the republican state
campaigners the lie by admitting thu
the grossest abuses exist in the state,
and entertainingly adds that the only
man to correct them is Henry Feig(?).
He :'queers'' his own plea for reform
by denouncing Lind as demagogue
for making these same demands. Hen
ry is trying hard to be elected as a
republican upon state issues espoused
by the populists.

farmers are entitled to the senator
this time, and 1 say that it is a credit
to the republican party to have within
it's ranks men who can in the interest
of fairness to all Sides overlook mar
row partisan lines. Republicans can
do themselves and their party no
greater honor than to unite with US to
elect Mr.. Grue to the senate.
There are many and valid reasons
why republicans should and will vote
for Mr.. N. O. Nelson for representa-
tive instead OF Mr.. Feig. The repub-
licans tried hard to unload the latter

at their convention but failed. They
will do it at the polls. 1t is quite un-
necessary to state the reasons for
Feig's weakness and Nelson's strength
as everybody are posted On this mat
ter.
Now I might thus 90 through the
whole list of candidates and prove to
a certainty that it is for the interest
of the county, nay, in fact for the in
terest of the republican party itself in
this county to turn down, with one Or
two exceptions perhaps, their own cam
didates and help elect the peoples
party county ticket. Why, it is a no.
toriOus fact that some of the repub-
ican candidates have held Office so
long that they have ceased to feel and
act like the we'll fed servant of the
public should always feel, humble and
obliging and mind his own business,
but have become arrogantly domi-
neering, so much so that they at
tempt to bulldoze the public in affairs
that don't concern them, and imagine
that they have a special privilege be-

yond other citizens to enjoy public Of
flee forever. I am now simply repeat
ing what leading republicans are daily
telling about their own candidates at
every street corner of Willmar. Now,
why should respectable republican
citizens vote for such men and build
up an: Office holding aristocracy to
disgrace the name of republicanism.
They should not and many will not,
especially when they have such re-
spectacle and representative citizens
on the other ticket to choose from. -
And then there is still another phase
to this Question. Two years ago there
were several hundred republicans lin

TRIBUNE what and whom you mean
when YOU say 'gang,'' ''cOurthouse
clique,' etc., etc. Yours truly,
SUBSCRIBER.
The gang is close corporation So
ciety, or oftice-seeking and holding
comb nation that exists inside of the
republican party in this county, or
rather, consists of a number of lead
ing Willmar politicians, or, is atleast
generally believed to exist. There is
of course no direct evidence to prove
its existence. It is secret coDclave
and direct evidence of its existence
could not be had unless some one of
the members of the gang turned states
evidence as the lawyers say, and gave
the thing away.
But are people not mistaken then
and attribute to scheming and design
what might be the result of mere
chance? Hardly. Circumstantial evil
dence is very often stronger proof of
a certain fact than even direct testi-
mony.
Here are some facts, for instance:
Three or four of the best county Offices
have been held from ten to twelve
years by certain families, parties or
their intimate friends or partners.
Now anybody who will look over
the history of the past will soon be
convinced that these parties have kept
in Office that long not on account of
their ability, popularity or for want
OF other capable aspirants tor the Of
fees, but simply and solely because of
the combination formed and existing
behind them-the office-holding league.
The village OF Willmar had a very
practical illustration last spring Of
the existence and power o: this "gang"
so-caled, and what it could and would
do if it only had the power.
For years and years the 3rd ward of
this village has been kind of STEP
child alongside of the other wards.
Why, Bird ward was only "Swede
Hollow" and what need had it of
any street grading, or other improve
ment. So 3rd ward was given the cold
shoulder. LIST ward was really the
favored child. In 1897 council was
elected that did a little justice to 3rd
ward, and hitherto neglected part of
End ward. OF course this was con-
trary to the wishes of the "gang"
which, by the way, pretends to rule
not only the destiny of the county but
also of Willmar, and every post-of-
fee in the county. What happened?
Why the whole court house gang was
ordered out to slaughter the men who
had done only justice to everybody
concerned: Why, county officers
went about and worked against their
own interest, against improvements Of
their own neighbour mood! Men who
had no interest in W llmars except to
hold office of the county, worked from
house to- house against the interest Of
the citizens Of this illageg They car
tried the day 50 far as to keep Ii. aa.rnad

for men for county offices who were
fighting Mr.. Lind most bitterly. This
of course was a huge blunder on the
part of those Lind republicans. For
if they wanted to see Lind governor
they surely also wanted to stand by
his friends as against his political
enemies. call the attention of all
Lind republicans to the fact that the
peoples party candidates for county

years ago, stand by him now, and
that they are entitled to their votes as

MEMORY OF HOTEL CLERKS.

The memory of a hotel clerk is cul-
tivated along peculiar lines. Hun
dreds of names and faces have to be
accurately memorized, and he must
he able at moments notice TO tell the
number of the room in which any
of the hotel guests are quartered. If
asked the number of the room occupi-
ed by John Smith, a good clerk can,
without hesitation, put his hand in
the proper pigeon hole and extract the
key According to the New York
World, the curious part of the opera
ton is that he can rarely make it
work backward. If asked who is in

has to consult his books before re-
