MINNESOTA POLITICS
Captain WhiSasy Gloats.
Captain g. g. whitney, one OF the etanch-
est supporters of M. J. Dowling, has been.
rather lonesome among the Volstead boomers
OF his legislative district. It is now his turn
to gloat, which he does gleefully In last
weeks Marshall News-Messenger. He says
Volstead and Schultz made a trade, agree-
Ing to gtye-Lyon county to Volstead for con-
gress, and Yellow Medicine to Schultz for the
senate. Schultz carried out his end, and got
the county convention ato indorse Volstead.
Then came G.; w. Sites, and Volstead made
another bargain with him. Lincoln county
was pledged to Volstead, and the latter
turned over two of his papers to Sites. So,
says Captain Whitney, "Mr. Volstead has
the support of both Schultz and Sites, and
these gentlemen have one-half the support
of Volstead, sort of four flush hand"
This, Captain Whitney alleges, has caused
a break tn the Volstead forces in both coun-
ties, which Bowling is profting by.

Tho Red Lake Falls Courier says: !.
The republican party is becoming very like
the Unitarian church. Differences in creed
and protectionists, impera1ists and antiinn-
perialists, mergerites and antis, all gather at
the republican shrine and are given full fel-
1oWship-proyided they vote tbs straight ticket

! Only one kind of democrat, is there? Then
why all this lighting Tor harmony? Cleveland
and Hill. Henry Watterson, Teller and Will

bug, the silver bug, the reciprocity advocate,
the free trader, the government ownership
