The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-05-25

The Democratic papers opposed to con-
gresham McCleary in this county are dead
sore because Wednesdays congressional
conven ton gave him good strong endorse
ment. Their soreness is exhibited in the
Review by very plain perversion of facts.
1t is claimed that a conference was called
and threats of flight" made if an en-
dorsement of the congressman was at
tempted. We are reliably informed that
nothing of the kind was even done or con-
templated. 1t is certain that the endorse
ment was all that the most ardent friends
of Mr.. McCleary could ask for, and the
delegates composing the convention were
prepared to unanimously pass any resolu-
tion that the committee might present.

The Review wants the Free Press to tell
an anxious, gossip-loving public why Nc
Cleary was placed at the head of the Blue
Earth county delegation to the state con-
vention?" The Free Press is not wasting
its space in any efforts to appease the ap.
petite of an anxious. gossip-loving public.
The Review has occupied that field so long
and so we'll that it would be shameful for
any one else to enter into competition
with it, and thus rob it of its one and only
claim for recognition to exist. If permit
ted, however, to make suggestion, the
Free Press would refer our neighbor tc
the hundred and sixty delegates compos
ing the Republican county convention fol
answer. 1t is just possible, however, they
did not stop to take advice in their actor
from few gossip-loving' Democrats
and if not the Review should discipline
them for their lack of courtesy.

to ask the aid of the Mankato firemen
toward getting the state freman's con.

election this year of the second vice
president from that place. No pledges
were given. Last year Mankato was

A statement is also given for the month
of December last which bears about the
same relative proportion to that for the
year. Charles Y. Knight, representative
of the National Dairy Union in Analysing
the report says:
This report does not show the use of
chemicals, because if chemicals are used
they are employed in the preparation of
the ingredients and do not come within the
scope of the law"
What is termed butter oil in the re-
port is cotton seed oil, which is known un
der that name in trade Sesame oil is the
vegetable oil more extensively used abroad
than in this country in the manufacture OF
oleomargarine.
The report shows very small amount
of stearine. This is probably due to the
fact that some of the manufacturers-all,
believe, but those of less importance-are
reporting stearine as oleo oil. You will
see, however, by reference to the state
ment for December, that the use of stear
inc amounts to 10 per cent, while the pre-
ceding fiscal year the average'was only
.co7 per cent. which reveals great, increase
in its use, In the $4,000, 900 pounds, O

That's good, very good! The Review
says that it promised to see fair play to
both parties in the McCleary- Funk con-
gressional contest" While there is nc
disposition that we have heard of on the

or Mr. Funk to resort to anything other
than fair play" the question naturally

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

The Republican state convention at
Minneapolis yesterday was a most har-
monious gathering, presenting still further
the the fact that the Republicans OF Min
nesota intend to present solid front for
victory in the campaign now opening.
The resolutions adopted by the conven-
vention present good Republican doctrine
and give clear cut views of the questions
of the day. They endorse Senators Davis
and Nelson, and recommend the latter for
reelection, also the work of our delega-
ton in the house and ask for their re-elec-
ton. One of the features of the conven-
ton was the adoption of resolution en-
dorsing ex-senator Washburn for the vice
presidency. AS has been expected for
some days back, Senators Davis and Mel
son we're elected delegates TO Philadelphia,
the other two members OF the delegauon
being Thomas Lowry, of Minneapolis,
and Samuel Lord, of Dodge county. The
delegation is strong one and will place
Minnesota in good shape in the national
convention; while the spirit in which the
convention did its work augurs well for
the success of the party in this state.

NOT MEASURED BY WEALTH.

The Elmore Eye in commenting upon
the statement of the Vernon Center News
that Mr.. McCleary pays only few dollars
taxes and does not owe a penny's worth OF
real estate in the county, while Mr.. Funk
has large investments in this city, and
urges that as as a reason why Mr.. Nc
Cleary should be turned down, gets back
at the News in the following effective and
practical manner:
Now, see here, Mr.. Caller, we do not
Judge a statesmans ability by the real
estate he owns or the taxes he pays. Any
man of ordinary intelligence knows that
without being told. Is it such grevious
fault that Mr.. McCleary is poor? Do we
measure our statesmen such as Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, Garrison ct. al. by the
wealth they possess? No, Mr.. Caller, you
must look again and find better reason
for not supporting McCleary. We over
here in Faribault county, are laughing
about your impotent attempts. BY the
way. if you Blue Earth county fellows
think you must furnish the congressman
in the future as you have.in the past eight
years YOU MUST KEEP NJ 'cLEARY. McCleary' S
successor cannot come from Blue Earth
county, and don't you make any mistake
about it. No Caller, Blue Earth county is
not the only place in this district, if Funk
does live there. Verstehen Sic?
