j. T. McCleary, the representative
in Congress from this district, has been
making number of speeches in other
States during the past few weeks. He
will return to this district in short
time with the view of speaking once
in each county in the district, and in
some counties probably more than
once. Those who have heard his in
teresting themes on the money ques-
tion-a question on which he was
practically orthodox, will be pleased
to hear his views on q new and more
important issue for this campaign. 1t
is that of National expansion, and the
Second district representative will un-
doubtedly handle the question as we'll
as he has the money question.

A NEW NAN.

The attempt to get the last county
convention to adopt the viva vo, Q
system was the means of bringing to
the front comparative new Republi-
can in Redwood county, as we'll as to
temporarily quiet one of the oldest
Republican workers in Redwood
county. The first was Mr.. L. Garlock
of Walnut Grove and the second was
Mr.. James l.. Byram, at one time a
resident of Walnut Grove, but now of
Paxton. In justice to Mr.. Byram it is
onlv fair to state that he had advisers
in the fatal move he made that day.
He is too good a politician to have
left his seat to make such q motion,
without having been requested to
make that, or some similar motion, by
the friends he represented.
Mr.. Garlock spoke just at the right
time to make hit. It was his only
speech of the day, and when he point
ed out the injustice of the motion at just
that time, he naturally took the mem-
bers of the convention, as we'll as most
of the spectators present, by storm,
and the enthusiasm that followed his
speech, and that was even manifested
during the time he was speaking, was
an illustration of how mon may jump
into prominence on the least provoca-
ton. Delegates and spectators both
greeted the speaker, after the motion
had been voted down, and Mr..
Garlock was naturally the lion of
the occasion.
Mr.. Garlock is naturally ready

POLITICAL APATHY.

There seems to be general apathy
in politics at the present time. Yer
mont and Maine elections clearly show
this, and Republicans must naturally
be the losers in the Republican States
and the Democrats in the Democratic
States. The excitement of the war,
still hanging over us in the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto
Rico and the articles of peace
to be promulgated by peace
commissioners in Paris, and involving
the retention of whole or only part
of the PHILIPPINES, naturally places
party politics in the background.
Here in Minnesota this seems to be
very apparent. No good politician of
either party will deny the statement
that Eustis will be elected governor
by from 10000 majority upwards and
the remainder of the Republican State
ticket by larger majority, but there
is q certain enthusiasm lacking that
was manifested in previous campaigns
before this date of the year. Even the
brilliant Senator Davis was not greeted
with as large crowd as he should
have been in Minneapolis, and Senator
Nelson's opening speech was heard by
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-09-29

a few only. The Democrats and Pop
ulists have been unable to drum up
any kind of crowd, and have re-
Trained from holding MEETINGS up to
date.
In Redwood county the best indica-
tions of Republican enthusiasm and
waning of Democratic and Populistic
enthusiasm was seen at the county
conventions of last week. The Repub-
lican convention was composed of
delegates from every precinct in Red
wood county. They were brim full of
enthusiasm, and the ticket nominated
met with almost general approval,
and will receive full Republican
support at the convention. On the
other hand the Democratic county
convention, called for the second day
of the fair, onlv contained II dele
gates, and there was no enthusiasm.
The Populist convention was to have
been held on the same day. but only
five delegates appeared, and the chair
man not being one of the number, no
action was taken. Certainly, it seems
that PopYlism, like it's predecessors, is
to be extinguished completely. or be
merged into the Democratic party.

MR.LARSON.

The best enconium that can be given
to man who has served one or more
sessions in the Legislature, is that
nothing bad can he found in his rec

after them; the good is often inferred
with their bones" Applying this
rule to Mr.. Larson, the Republican
nominee for representative from this
county, his constituents are asked to
look for the bad in his 1897 record.

recorded on the side of the people,
and it was Mr.. Larson who braved
the railroad corporations and with two
or three other members, brought in a
minority report of the house railroad
committee in favor of bill giving
people residing between Moorhead
and terminal points the same rights as
those at the terminal points. He
fought for the bill and carried it into
the Senate, where the railroad lobby
defeated it.
On some occasions Mr.. Larson is re-
corded as not being present, but those
who have had any experience in
legislature, know that the most impor-
tant work of q good member is in the
committee room, where he frequently
is when the branch to which he be-
longs is in session. The railroad
committee is the most important COM
mittee in the house, and probably Mr..
Larson was doing this important COM
mittee work when he was absent from
the majority of his colleagues.

probably give him one of the largest

MR.. SOMERvILLE.

1t has been many years since the
Republicans of this Senatorial district
have had the opportunity to vote for q
Republican candidate for Senator who
possessed the education, honor and
integrity of George w. Somerville.
That gentleman was formally .nomi-
mated by the Republicans OF this dis
trict in the convention of last Thurs
day, and we believe that he will be
elected by an overwhelming vote.
MIR. Somerville possesses several
traits that will make him strong
character in the Minnesota Senate.
First of all, he is in the front ranks OF
Minnesota attorneys, and will be able
to construe what law means as quick
as any attorney in the Senate. Second,
he has a general knowledge of the diff
ferent political issues of the day, and
third, he possesses that essential politi-
cal trait of making friends continu-
ously, aud very seldom, if ever,
making an enemy.
The voters of Brown and Redwood
counties are invited to inspect his past
record, review his good qualities, and
then cast their vote for him at. the
elections to be held next November.

Chicago packers who manufactured
butterine as a side line are now in the
butter and egg business on a big scale.
The law prohibiting the coloring of
butterine struck a fatal blow to that
business, and caused stockyards men to
shut down their plants. Butter mer-
chants think the stOckyards men have
started out on campaign of retaliation
for the enactment of the law, which Is
generally credited to the country legs-
lator and the butter merchant. The
packers are advertising their butter,
egg and poultry department in produce
journals, and emphasize their intention
to pay cash and make liberal advances
on shipments. 1t is thought the packers
will arrange facilities for the handling
of butter on a large scale in their
branches throughout the country. If
such a step is taken butter men think
that the eastern butter merchants will

Presidents Annual Address.
President c. F. Smith of the Vermont
Dairymen's association made the annual
address at the meeting in st. Albans on
Tuesday last. Among other things he
called attention to the fact that Vermont
had all the natural conditions for sue
cessful dairying. An important factor
was the problem of lessenlng the
cost of production. TO accomplish
this it would be necessary to raise
the standard of men as well as the
standard of COWS. Another step in
reducing the cost of production was to
feed "A more economical and we'll balanc-
ed ration. This required study, thought,
and intelligence. No occupation afford
ed so much freedom and independence
and the ability to live nearer nature :
law and natures God as farming.
Touching upon the cheese industry
President Smith said that not long ago
the United States exported cheese to the
value of Sl3, 100000 and Canada, S3.000,-
000 But the government allowed the
manufacture of filled cheese. oleomar-
garine and other frauds and in 10 years
we had changed places with Canada.
He advised an expert instructor to go
from factory to factory to teach Yer
mont cheese makers to make better
cheese and have an oversight of the pro-
duction. The English market must be
looked to for the disposal of our surplus
butter and cheese. Less than per cent

Bishop Richard Hooker Wilmer of
Alabama got more money at one little
dinner than any man of my acquaint-
ance. He came north in the interest Of
confederate orphanage, met many
Union friends and was dined. OF course
a story was expected of him, but he
declined, saying he had none, but he
would offer conundrum: "Why are
we southerners like Lazarus?" There
was guessing on all sides of the table,
such as "Because you are poor" "Be.
cause you eat the crumbs from the rich
mans table" etc. "We're like Lazarus. =
said the bishop, smiling blandly, "be-
cause we've been licked by dogs" One
of the bishops charms is his unrecon.
structedness, and every man at the table
laughed except one with mottled face,
who Indignantly exclaimed: "Well, sir,
if you think we're dogs, why in -
have you come up here to beg for our
money! With a wink at the rest of his
hosts, the bishop replied: MY notified
friend, the hair of the dog is good for
the bite. That's why I've come. New
