Lind in 1900, but says he was only one: of
10000 republican, who did the same, and he
was influenced by his belief in Governor

proved himself a very worthy and honor
able public servant deserving Of the con-

The ST Peter. Journal gives the new state
committee a prod, and In the course OF Its
rem arks observes:
A majority Of less than % 900 for: Van SAINT
this year, when we have bought the populist
the democrats have neither an issue NOR a
campaign fund, would be a democratic VIC
tory, and we must get out the vote and see
that it votes right, in order to yet such a
majority. "
AN ANOMALY OF A democrat of two
<-~S. I 80 years ago can run for
THE PRIMARY Law. office this yeas as a
- republican, and file
under the primary election law He cannot
vote for himself, however. This one OF the
queer contradictions of the primary law that
will have to be amended. The ruling is made
by the attorney general in the case of Judge
Nethaway Of Saltwater, recently a democrat,
but who has turned republican and is run
ming for county attorney. It also applies to
G. A. Fosnes, former populist, now a repub-
lican candidate for the senate.
This Is the law, beyond question, but it
seems that a man should serve an apprentice
ship in party before running for Office, il
an apprenticeship is required before taking
part In nominations ~
