VARIOUS OPINIONS
NINE-TENTHs FAVOR HIM.

st. Cloud Journal:
Senator Davis at the present time
has a clear field for reelection. and
he is the choice of at least nine tenths
of the Republicans Of the state.
BOTH SHOULD BE RETURNED.
Lakefield Standard:
The people of the Second congress
sional district, noted for their good
sense and discretion, will not fail to
renominate and re-elect the ablest
representative that has ever been
sent to Washington from the North
west; and they will also exert their
utmost strength to help re-elect
Senator CuShman X. Davis, whose
career as public servant has been
one continuous record OF services hon.
orably and ably rendered.
WIN. HENRY WILL BE IN AT THE FEAST
Worthington Herald:
William Henry Eustis is another
gubernatorial candidate that is COM
ing up the pike, and announces him,
self as in the hands of his friends.
William Henry has been and is one of
the favorites Of Minnesota Republi-
cans, and if he can get the support OF
his own district, Hennepin county,
may make something of showing be-
lore the state convention.
WOULD NEVER BE HEARD OF.
Morgan Messenger:
Those who are starting abusive
stories about Hon. Jas. II. McCleary
will find that their spiteful state
ments will recoil on themselves. If
1t were possible for congressman to
recommend every man in his district
for some fat Office such unmerited
abuse would never be heard of.
sHREwED, BUT MADE A MISTAKE.
Albert Lea Tribune:
The political wiseacres are just now
taxing their minds to find out what
will happen next. There is q wave of
Indignation over Governor Coughs
attempted scheme of willing his exc
cutive chair to Mr.. Van SAINT. The
thing was sprung rather early in the
game, and now the reaction has set in
against the state machine. As soon
as the swarm settles, the political
bees will choose another leader, and
the drones will be killed off. David
Is fairly shrewed wirepuller, but he
made the mistake of telling the peo-
pie who should be their next gov.
ernor.
GETTING A WHOLE MENAGARIE.
Minneapolis Journal:
"The Curse of Gold" play managers
have sent to Borneo for four ''deadly
upas trees" and have engaged "hy-
ORA headed monster" four Shylocks
and a Nero.
MAY BE A CALLIOPE.
Alexandria Post-News:
1t is at least five months before the
state convention will be held, and
there is no urgent necessity of lump.
ing on the first vehicle that passes by,
for instead of being band wagon it
may be the calliope.
GAINING GROUND.
Menahga Messenger:
Those who have looked lightly up.
on the candidacy of William Henry
Eustis for governor may have occa.
sion to reverse their estimate. He is
gaining ground at rate sufficient to
alarm some of the other candidates.
WOE TO THE POLITICIAN.
Fairmont News:
The people of Minnesota are over.
whelmingly in favor of Senator Davis
succeeding himself, and woe to the
politician who tries to defeat him.
LOST CONFIDENCE.
Fairmont News:
Young Thos Edison claims that he has in.
vented an air ship that will work. But before
it would work he says that he had to discover a
new kind of sas. with which to initiate the sails.
-Mankato Free Press.
The Pops better get some of it to
initiate their air castles with. The
people have lost confidence in the
kind they have been using.
