I HANSBROUGH'S MAN
FriclS OF Lnkota May BE Named for
Attorney General.

1s
( GRAND FORKS, N. D.-If Senator Hans
brough can pull enough strong strings In the
republican, state convention, Frick the La:
kota attorney, will be nominated for attor-
ney general. This Is an effort on Senator
Hansbrough's part to pay off his obligation
10 A. J.. Gronna.s OF 'Lakota, who not only
assisted him in the Ramsey county fight, but
Is using his influence to make Nelson coun-
tvs delegation in the legislature sure for
Hansbrough. Libby Of Park River has high
hopes OF securing the nomination. but he
must harmonize the Walsh county delegation
first. s. l.. 4yss5
Frick has not been factor in the politics
of his own county for several years. The
element usually led by. Congressman John
son succeeded in keeping him in the back
ground. 1t is understood that Senator Hans
brough will do everything in his power to
win Nelson county to his standard and: for
that reason is lending "a friendly ear !: to
Gronnas request that Frick be made attor-
ney general. % RI - s-t

Cuba Reciprocity Plank

WASHINGTON, p Cit is said in: WASH
ington that the republican state convention Of
North Dakota, which will be held in Grand
Forks July %, will adopt rousing Cuban
reciprocity plank. :. Senator Hansbrough, who
is now at home, will probably have something
to do with the shaping of this feature Of the
platform, although he will not care to pose
as desiring to dictate to- the party organiza-
ton. In the senate during the late session
he stood stsadfastly by the president and the
reciprocity idea, and naturally he will be
more or less anxious to have his state con-
yention indorse his position. That indorse-
ment will be all the easier because the repub-
licans of North Dakota are understood to
stand squarely by T all that the president
has DONE and especially by his policy as to
Cuba The Cuban plank may be all the
stronger on account Of the tumble made in the
Minnesota state convention recently .>tt-..

My old soldier friend, you say Mr..
Brownlow is second only to the presi-
dent and that what he says is law? Can
you read and write? Are you capable
OF filling some little Office, such as
clerk, ianitor, messenger, postmaster,
&C., or have you a son that is? There
are hundreds of these minor offices that
would pay you more than $12 per month
and many of them $50 and $1OO per
month. Has he hunted. you up to offer
you one Of them? But these, offices are
not held by old soldiers. Look around
you and see who holds the offices thai
are worth holding. They are in the
hands of men who can do the most wire
pulling for the dispensers of offices, re
gardless of whether they are soldiers Of
soldiers's sons.

Old soldiers, don't let them fool you
about Brownlow getting you pension.
He didn't do it. The pensions don't
come that way. They came through
the commissioner of pensions and he
and his subordinates mostly the latter
give you pension or turn you down
and you have nobody else to thank or
cuss for it. These letters sent out to
applicants from the pension Office that
your claim has been called up by your
congressman, &C., &c, is another trick
to quiet the "babies" and prevent them
from deluging the Office with letters of
inquiry. Mr.. Brownlow, like every
other congressman who has soldier
constituents, introduces special bills
for special friends who can not furnish
sufficient proof to get pension in the
regular way. In this way many pen
sions are gotten through, some worthy
and others not. But none of them are
through Mr.. Brownlow alone, but
through kindly feeling of majority of
both houses of congress and the presi-
dent towards the old veterans. Let us
Let us be honest with the people. We
are not going to elect Cy Lyle to run
the pension office, but we will expect
him to look after the interests of his
constituents, and we believe he will do
it with the same intelligence that he
has shown in his own affairs, and we
are going to pay him $5, 900 year and
if he undertakes to be boss we'll turn
him out.

His witty ways and oily tongue

His witty ways and oily tongue
I can't endure, and then he's young,
And in himself he is a host
OF rivals all I fear him most.
With Harmon out I'm in the "swim,"
All are handled now but him.

All now worship at my shrine,
And I'll tell you the reason why
I gave them all piece of ''pie."
But Dana bristles up for fight,

Still keeps this horse upon the track,
And dashing wildly DER the plain
Without bride or a rein.

To see them running with such speed.

"big boy" and can laugh longer and
louder than anybody, if elected, would
not know when he gets to Nashville,
whether he is free-silyer democrat, q

Let Brownlow whistle up his "pack,"
And like heartless General Weyler
Say, 'Begone, begonel Seek him, Tyler.
There is one thing 1 think l know,
A mighty man is Walt Brownlow.
Look in the papers and you will see
Great compliments concerning me.
In congress halls l have a seat,
Distinguished men up there meet
And many happy hours I've spent
With Hanna and the president,
And how gratifying to know
That the name of Walter Brownlow
Is heralded from every mouth
The greatest statesman in the south.
But, however, must confess
There's something gives me deep distress
But whisper low, and don't reveal it,
1t is my purpose to conceal it,
That old Jonesboro convention
Had bred much strife and contention.
Things look squally, 'twixt you and me
In this part of East Tennessee.
This Harmon craze, understand,
Has spread like fire all Ger the land.
Men seem to be with rapture hung
On Dana Harmon's nimble tongue
This Harmon and Keefauver craze
Is hurting me in many ways.
1t looks now like I'll be betrayed
In the deep scheme that l had laid.
II was my purpose and my plan
To cruelty this little man,
And stop him in his wild career
Before he comes to be my peer.

Remember, that Weeks was an active
supporter of Dana Harmon for Judge.
Remember, that Nelson and Upton
were supporters of A. j. Tyler. Re-
member, that Harmon carried this SEN
atorial district by 253 votes, and it will
be an easy matter for Harmon men to
elect Weeks. Harmon men of Wash
ington, Unicoi, Carter and Johnson
counties are for Weeks. If Greene
county gives him half her Harmon vote
he will easily be elected.

Across this broad and fertile land

And begged for votes in every crowd.
And when on me their grace bestowed

To merely fill servants place.

That Brownlow's fame began to smell,
Expanding like the Green Bay tree
Until it spread from sea to sea.
| A change did then come over my dreams,
The ghost of power in dazzlings CLEANS
Encompassed this great heart of mine,
bowed and worshiped at its shrine,
And still have worshiped since that hour
The god Of empire and of power,
And taxed each thought, word and deed
To satiate my Office greed.

Not only teaching how to serve,
But l was learning in this school
The most successful ways to rule,
And my diploma stated that
Brownlow was now diplomat.

And partook Of the Brownlow fare.

And feasted all in Brownlow's name,

And storekeepers their rations drew.

For my people it made me great.

That I, Brownlow, had done it all.

"GOOD FELLOWS"

The Philadelphia. Saturday Evening
Post, in discussing the municipal
scandals in Minneapolis also has a
word or two to say of "Good Eel
lows. as follows:
An official of q western city has
disappeared in circumstances which
indicate that we'll founded criminal
charges could have been made against
him had he remained at his post.
Yet we are told that the fugitive is
still held in high regard by many of
his fellow citizens for the reason that
he is ''good fellow" His reputa-
tion in this respect did not date, as is
usual with good fellows in politics,
from the time when he got in touch
with the city's purse strings. 1t began
many years ago when as a practicing
physician he visited the invalid poor
medicines to patients too poor to pay
for them. Thus he acquired the affec-
ton of thousands who benefited by, or
had heard of his kindness of heart.
His disposition did not change when
he got into politics, and he seemed to
have been mentally unable to refuse
the demands made upon him, although
his personal means were unequal to
them.
GOOD fellows of his kind are not
uncommon in classes other than politi-
Cal, and they are among the curses of
society. A generous disposition does
not imply that it's possessor has q
proper equipment of moral quantities,
or, indeed, that he has any moral
qualities at all. Society Is full of
good fellows.
The good fellow, as rule, is
merely man of generous impulse,
who is too weak to say "No'' to
himself or any one else
The Post is quite right. Good fell
lows generally make matters worse in
the long run.
