oLMsTED DEMOCRATS HAPPY.
Prospects for Election of DR.. Wither-
slime to Senate Are Excellent.

The Democrats of Olmsted county
are fully confident that they are about
to accomplish what has for years been
considered impossible. In short, elect
a Democrat to the state senate.
DR.. w. w. Witherstine, of Rochester
is the candidate, and there is every
reason to believe that he will be elect
ed, the first Democrat to represent that
district since 1S91-1893, when DR.. W.
W. Mayo, the old war horse of the
Democracy of Southern Minnesota, was
in the senate.
DR.. Withestine is one of the most
popular men in Olmsted county, and
as candidate for city and county Of
flee has repeatedly demonstrated his
hold on the people and his abilities as
a vote. getter. William Kelly Jr., of
Stewartville, who was in st. Paul yes
terday, said the Democrats of the
county are keenly alive to their chance
and are daily receiving pledges of Re-
publican support for their man.
A prominent Olmsted county Re-
publican, a good vote getter himself,
and a fine campaigner, who has landed
on top every time he went after a To-
cal office, yesterday confirmed the
statements of Mr.. Kelly, only making
it stronger with the statement that
the thinking Republicans and the pro-
fessional men of the county will solidly
support Witherstine against StebbinS,
who is accredited with holding a lead
over Hymes and Bush for the Repub-
lican nomination, and that a big ma
jority of the same votes will be cast
for Witherstine should either Hymes
or Bush win out at the primaries.
Hymes would, if nominated, prove
the hardest candidate for DR.. Wither-
slime to finish out He is a resident of
Rochester, and is personally beyond
successful attack as to legislative rec
ord. He seems, however, to have gone
into the fight in a rather half hearted
manner. Bush lives in the country,
which weakens him with the Roch-
ester vote for the nomination, and his
legislative record not that of a heavy
weight, which lends color to the belief
that Stebbins will land the nomination.
Mr.. Stebbins does not enjoy the full
est confidence of the Republicans of
Olmsted county, who four years ago
took the occasion to administer a les
son calculated to teach him that even
in practical politics party honor is to
be considered, if personal honor has no
place. If nominated, he cannot expect
to poll anything like the full party
vote, and Should prove easy for a man
Of sterling integrity and unquestioned
ability, like DR.. Witherstine.

FOR OPPOSING ROOSEVELT.

1t is apparent that Editor Alvah East
man, of the st. Cloud Journal-Press,
is a great joker. In his search for
reasons why John Lind might not be
elected in Hennepin county to congress
over Uncle Loren notwithstanding
gave Lind for governor in 1898, Editor
Eastman says:
"a great many people would vote for
Lind for governor who would not vote
to send him to Washington to oppose
President Roosevelt"
Is this intended for sarcasm, or for
an innocent joke? The Journal-Press
certainly recalls how Uncle Loren"
has been opposing the presidents tariff
and reciprocity program for six months
past; while Lind, on the other hand,
stands for freer trade relations with
Cuba and Canada along the line of
reciprocity and tariff revision.
Had John Lind been in congress in
place of ''Uncle Loren" during the re-
cent session, President Roosevelt would
have had strong support from the Fifth
Minnesota congressional district, in
stead of the opposition he actually has
had at the hands of the present con-
gressional incumbent.
If opposition to Roosevelt is the is
sue on which the election of Mime
sofa congressman depends, the entire
Republican delegation from Minnesota
deserves burial; and if Editor Eastman
is consistent, he should rise in his edi-
torial sanctum and order the funeral
arrangements.
Three-fourths of the Democrats in
congress, on the authority of Messrs.
Fletcher and Tawney, supported Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the principal meas
ure of the recent session; while the
solid Minnesota delegation, two sena-
tors and seven congressman, were in
Washington opposing President Roose-
velt and the almost unanimous popu-
lar sentiment of the state, at the be-

The Chicago veterinary surgeons
who have seen the mare are at loss
to account for her mustache. The only
theory they have advanced that Mr..
King says is at all reasonable is one of

doctors argue that when Myras mother
was in foal some man with a heavy

"This, they say, had it's effect on the
unborn colt.
Its a fact that the hostler who took
care of Queen Myra, the mother of my
mare, did have a heavy black mus

purposely did anything to brighten her.

Still, we can't Know, of course, how he
treated her when we weren't about to

So much for the cause. The fact is
indisputable. The mustache on Myra's
upper lip is as tangible as her tail and
as much in evidence. 1t is six inches
long on either side and heavy.

CLAPP'S SEAT

Third district. In the First district
nearly every man who voted for Clapp
is opposed by an administration can
didate. A case in point is that of
Henry Hymes, of Rochester, who twice
represented his district in the house
and who is now candidate for the
senate.
Hymes was originally a Clapp man.
When Mr.. Tawney became a candidate
for Davis unexpired term and the First
district delegation caucused, Hymes
abided by the decision of the caucus
and voted for Tawney AS soon as
the First district obligation to Tawney
was paid, Hymes cast his vote for
Clapp. Rochester has from time inn
memorial been conceded the senator
ial nomination and Hymes was consid-
cred duly in line for it, but he finds
himself opposed for the nomination by
an administration candidate. A. L.

eubernatoriaI Candidate Sought a
Stellar Attraction at Fairs.

Stellar Attraction at FAIRS.
Leonard A. Rosing, Democratic can
didate for governor. who has been in
st. Paul all of fair week, will leave
tomorrow night on another short tour
incident to his personal campaign. He
will visit the upper end of the Fourth
congressional district and make a de-
tour through the lower ends of the
Sixth and Eighth districts, returning
to st. Paul Tuesday night.
Next week Mr.. Rosing will COM
mence filling the dates made for him
by the state central committee, which
will direct his personal campaign I'M
til November, in that it will arrange
dates for him. The first trip under
the direction of the committee includes
a series of speeches at county and dis
! trict fairs. Wednesday he will speak
at a street, fair at Madelia. Thursday
Mr.. Rosing is the stellar attraction at
the district fair at Worthington. Fri
day he will address the crowds at the
Chisago county fair at Rush City, and
close the''week, Saturday, with an adj
dress at the Watonwan county fair at
st. James.
Fair week has proved a busy season
for Mr.. Rosing. He has held daily re-
ceptions at the headquarters in the
Gilfillan block, and almost daily has
been called upon to attend conferences
of Democratic leaders, perfecting
plans for campaign work in their re-
spective districts. Beside the party
workers., he has daily received calls
from scores of the members of the
rank and file of the Democracy of the
state, and not few Republicans who
have pledged him their support
One of the most pleasing features OF
the week has been the reports brought
in by Democrats from the counties Wis
tied by Mr.. Rosing on the personal
tours he made last month. In every
county the local Democrats are de-
lighted. Mr. Rosing's appearance not
only put new life in the Democratic
pulse, but in every county reports al
ready show that his personality and
the cause which he represents has won
him the friendship and votes of Re-
publicans, who have stuck to their
party ticket through thick and thin for
wears.

he has been one of the recognized
leaders of the Peoples party, and is
one of the strongest men in Western

UNEQUAL PROSPERITY.

AS one of the marked evidences of
phenomenal prosperity, Minneapolis
contemporary quotes the following
census statistics of growth in the man
ufacturing industries:
1890. 1900.
l1s Of e employees, 4.712,s22 5,71e,1s7
Wages and

products 5,S69, 57s, 1s1(a) 1909, 279, 5ss
it should read $9,372, 437 ,2S3.
This is a remarkable showing in re-
gard to the percentage and volume of
increase in the value of the manufac-
tured products. 1t shows what the
trust development, the imitation of
stocks and dividends and the Initiation
of prices on the necessaries of life
have accomplished during the past CEN
sus decade. But, how about the almost
inf1nitesimal increase in the volume of
wages?
Value of manufactured products in
creased in the ten-year period $780,
100000, or over 40 per cent and in twen-
ty years $780, oO0,O 900, or over $50 per
cent.
Wages and salaries paid to employees
who produced this vast product in
creased during 1S9O-19OO only $751;
100000, or not quite 20 per cent.
The value of the product turned out
by the average wage Garner has in
creased nearly one half; while the an
nual wage paid to the average work.
man shows no increase.
Is this prosperity?
Is this national progress?
When it is considered that nearly
every trust and other manufacturing
industry that has participated in this
enormous increase in product values
is protected by tariff walls and fed on
tariff bounties, something of the causes
which have worked to produce this alb
normal and one-sided prosperity may
be understood. Government privilege
is that cause.
AS compared with the petty increase
in the aggregate volume of wages and
salaries paid in the tariff protected
manufacturing industries, take the
progress of the country in the volume
of remuneration in an entirely different
line of work, where tariffs and trusts
and politicians have no place and
where natural laws alone govern.
The total sum paid to teachers in the
public schools of the United States in
creased from less than $6O,000,O0O in
1880 to over sol ,O0O,O 600 in 1890 and to
$197,000,000 in 1900.
The increase was so per cent for each
of the two decades.
The progress of the public schools
is simply the natural increase in the
population and enlightenment of CIV
ilized and progressive people. The so
per cent increase in volume of salaries
to teachers is a normal increase 1t is
what other professions and industries
governed by natural laws of develop
ment should show
1t is the farcical pretext of the tariff
beneficiaries that the tariff is levied
for the protection of labor" The hol-
lowness of the pretext is shown in
the above figures, which the tariff pro-
tected proprietors themselves have fur
nished to the census experts of a pro-
tective tariff administration.

1t has been generally admitted for
more than year that Senator Clapp
was due to face trouble for a renomi-
nation, and of course there are sec
lions of the state which have never
been satisfied with his selection. Those
communities have been left severely
alone by the administration, which
figures to undermine the junior senator
In his own territory and take the
chances of pulling Van SAINT out of a
deadlock with the naturally anti Clapp
vote.
The fight on Tawney and Fletcher
has two-fold purposes. In the first
place, by defeating them for renomina-
tons the governor of Minnesota can
show his loyalty to the national admin
1stration and lay claim in the Roose-
welt support for administering sum-
mary lesson to the insurgents. The
second cause of Van SAINT administers
ton opposition to Tawney and Fletcher
lies in the fact that either or both
might develop into strong senatorial
candidates.
Tawney demonstrated two years ago
that he is a factor to be reckoned with
and Minneapolis will be in the fore
front with candidate to lay out Clapp
willy illy.
Fletcher. with the backing of the
Hennepin delegation, reinforced with
the wires the Hon Thomas Shevlin can
pull, Your Uncle Loren" would be
hard-fghting proposition.
The Third district fight is, of course,
primarily directed at Joel Heatwole,
who has been suspected of a desire to
wear a senatorial toga. If his friends
were elected to congress and the state
senate, the organization would stay
just where it is, in the vest pocket Of
Joel Heatwole, which would be bad for
the schemes of the governor of Mime
sofa. Heatwole is saying nothing, but
the temper of the famous organizer has
been badly misjudged if he does not
take a hand in the fight and a hand
that will not be pledged to the admin
istration or Van SAINT benefit.
