A. ]. vOLSTEAD.

The Republican nominee for con-
gress from the new Seventh district
of Minnesota is native of this
State. He is of Norwegian descent.
He commenced the study of law
shortly after leaving school and To-
Gated in Granite Falls number of
years ago, where he has been sue
cessful practitioner. He has been
county attorney of Yellow Medicine
county and mayor of Granite Falls.
The fact that Mr.. Volstead has
not been in politics outside of his
own county has probably been a
great help to him in the contest
just closed. He was not on record
on any OF the important issues that
have been before the people in years S
past, and hence his opponents
could find nothing with which to
assail his candidacy. The fact,
however, that Yellow Medicine
county gave him such an enormous
vote at the primaries, indicates that
he is popular with his home people:
and that he is likely to make po-
pular representative in congress.
Mr.. Volstead drew heavy from
the Scandinavian precincts. From
Kandiyohi county north Senator
Young expected to hold this vote
for him, with the possible exception
of that class OF voters In Grant
county, where local matters affected
the result But Mr. Volstead not
only surprised Mr.. Young and Mr.
Bowling by his large vote in those
counties. but he himself was sur
prised at that vote.
THE GAZETTE joins with all good
Republicans in giving Mr. Volstead
warm support.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
How do you like it, way?

IlOW uO you IKE IL, dEy way
Some time ago the editor OF this
paper, appearing before the Forum.
took the stand that it was not a
wise piece OF legislation. He ad
vanced several theories to support
his claim, and most of these have
been borne out by the facts,
The most iniquitous feature is the
great expense to which candidates
are put. If the truth were know n
we believe that it would be that not
one Of the candidates for congress
at the primaries on Sept. 10Th,
spent less than from $4,000 to $10,-
600, and probably more. It was
necessary to do this in order to
carry on the advertising, etc. Every
one of the candidates for county
offices were at more expense than
under the old convention system.
Another feature not mentioned in
the Forum talk was that in Repub-
lican counties like Redwood, where
Republican candidates only stood a
show of election, and where there
were no Democratic candidates. it
induced the Democrats to come out
and vote the Republican ticket,
something which they never did at
the caucuses under the old primary
system.
The heavy vote was cast in the
cities and villages, and again are
we supported in our statement that
it is almost impossible for farmer
candidate to win out. Note John
T. Hoiem's S run, where if Mr.. Hoiem
had delegates from two or more
towns he might have perfected q
winning combination at a conven-
tion
Still further, the primary system
prevents the leaders from each pre-
cinct from gathering into conveu-
tion and listening tothe new party
doctrines each year. With the con
ventions they were given this doc
trine and returned home enthused
for their party.

Tuskegee News.
All of our readers will recall that dur
ing the administration of Governor Jelks
our State has enjoyed a season of real
political peace. The affairs Of govern
ment have gone forward in quiet. yet
nevertheless, effective manner There
have been less of fractional fights in our
communities than for many years pre-
vious Let not our readers suppose that
because Governor Jelks is not eternally
telling of his works that therefore he is
not a very useful and safe Governor
He is content to do his duty and let in
telligent people Judge of his character
and his ability by his record. We have
known Governor jerks for many. years
and believe him to be an unpurchasable
patriot, a courageous, true man, and we
believe also that If he is reelected the
state will enjoy four years of as able
and as clean an administration as ever
came to it. Besides the whole State will
settle down to a condition of political ac-
cord.
