Capt. Mcmillan has been in charge OF

satisfaction with his management, and
a change has been considered imminent
! for some time.

| q lawyer by profession, and prominent In

/ to Thomas Downs, of Minneapolis but

NJ. ]. DAILY. the Peoples party candi-
date for the high office Of congressman
in the great Seventh congressional dis
trlct, is a man Of the highest courage
and stanchest convictions, says the
Crookston Press. From the beginning OF
his coreer as public man, his talents
,, and remarkable force Of character have
been manifested. He has made a. pro-
found impression, not only locally, but

nized as an able man a leader is evidenced
by the fact of his rapid rise politically.
Going to Otter Tail county as a young
attorney some years ago, he was four
! times elected county attorney and is at
present representing his district in. the
senate of this state, where his record ana
earnest efforts in the interests of all
classes has not only endeared him to his
constituency, but made him noted
throughout the state as an able and fear
less champion of the peoples rights His
genius scholarship, great attachments and
ability to meet emergencies, together
with the fact that he is a singularly- eff
1ectlve stump speaker, combine In him
all the elements of successful oandi
GATE. AS a congressman his eloauenca
VIII win him rank among the foremost,
ei!u ms Tame VIII rise, higher in the esti-
NATION OF his countrymen, and heighten
rather than eclipse the luster of his life
Ills voice VIII be heard in the interests
OF the masses, not only in the halls of
congress, but will go down the echofng
corridors OF time until long after those
VINO now rule the nation shall have t1oin-
eo that tnnumerable caravan, where each
man taxes mis- chamber in the silent halls
OF death. These are not mere eu1ogistic
phrases. I have known Mike DAILY know
MN as a brother, and know that those
VINO love him most are those who know
MIN pest. One remarkable characteristic
ABOUT MT DAILY is the fact that he has
no enemies, and no one meets him but
10 IKE MIN and remembers him His fol-
lowing is not confined to the narrow lin
us OF one party. Republicans Demo-
Gratis Populists and Mid Readers, as well
as the temperance people, are all bsc
friends. and undoubtedly he will receive
the largest vote ever give many man In
