Many of the most stirring events
in American history hrve occurred
in April, including the first con
tlicts of the War of the Revolution

Secession. The formal order to
Spain to relinquish the island of
Cuba was made on April 10, a date

mails.
IL was on April 19, 1775, at Lex
ington and at Concord that the first
armed resistance was made by the
minute men to the British troops.
The excitement of April 10, 1861,
is still remembered by many per-
sons. The Sixth Massachusetts,
regiment was attacked by mob in
Baltimore, and that city was
turned over to the secessionists.
North Caolina was the first col
ony to declare for independence, in
April lTI6, and Rhode Island al
most Immediately followed with a
similar declaration. Six years
later. in April, 1882, the recogni-
tion of our independence was made
by the Dutch Republic.

So rigid is the physical exami-
nation of recruits at Camp Rogers
that 20 per cent. of the boys are
failing to pass. This is occasion
ing much complaint among the
companies, but the rigid examina-
ton is best. Many more young
men are ready, willing and anxious
to answer to this first call of their
country, and only those who are
physically perfect should be ac-
cepted- The trying life of a soldier
is hard enough on perfect con-
stitution, and the army should not
be handicapped by men who might
not perfectly withstand the hard
ships. If the war should be pro
longed, and many more men need
ed, the examinations would doubt
less become less exacting, but in
the present call objection should
not be made if only the best men
are taken.

The ROyalton Banner delights to
repeat it's statement that Fuller
failed tn support Clough in the elec-
tiOn Of 1896. But it isn't pointing
out any more proof. In one issue 1t
gave as proof the small vote
received nv Clough in Little Falls.
When the figures were quoted by the
Transcript to show that ClOugh lost
twice az many votes In proportion
to the Mckinley vote In Royalton as
he did in Little Falls the Banner
abandoned its chosen "proof."
Fuller's party work in the 1896 cam
paign was confined mostly to the
committee rooms, and he was prac-
tically in charge of the work day and
night for a month. Clough's state
committee had entire confidence in
his loyalty to the en- tire state ticket,
aud showed that confidence In every
way. Everyone connected with the
campaign knows that a special
effort was made to get the Repub.
licans .Of the county In line for
ClOugh. 1t was known to he diff
cult. as many Republicans were Of
Tended at Clough by reason Ut the
tactics employed locally by some Of
the Clough leaders. Fuller especially
urged every speaker and every car
vasser to ITO all in their power to
brlng all men bers OF the party to
the support Of Clough. When the
votes in the county and state were
cast it was shown that Clough had
received larger proportion OF the
Mckinley votes in Morrison county
than he had IN the state at latge.
The banner has no foundation
whatever for charging Fuller with
boiling any part of the ticket. and
all who were associated In any way
with the cam paign work Of 1870. tan
testify to til ialsity of Swanson's
charges.
