A Kansas paper, says the
Youths Companion, notes that,
of the dozen carloads of old
iron received every week at the
local junk-yard, probably nine
tenths consist of farm imp1e-
ments ruined by rust. Many
of the implements look as if
they could still be saved from
the junk pile by a blacksmith;
the farmers thought different
and bought new ones. Such
are signs of that carelessness
which sometimes accompanies
prosperity; but the same thing
precedes adversity-and then,
how ugly it looks! If the mort
gage also could be left in the
field to gather rust and ulti-
mately wear out, the condition
of the pillow and mower and bin
der would not so much matter.
Since that is impervious to
moisture, even to tears, it
would seem more businesslike
to take care of the machinery
that may help to pay it.

APPLETON, Mimi, Sept. p.
Ny Dear Sir-I want to heartily
thank you for the cordial and
disinterested support Of your
self and your valuable paper
in the recent primary contest.
| wish also to express my
highest appreciation toward all
the people of your city who so
kindly supported my cause.
The contest was greatly COnpli-
Gated in various parts of the
district by the participation Of
of other parties, and
the excessive vote thus thrown
upset all calculations.
[ am glad, however, that te
contest in your locality had
nothing in it that was at all
hostile to Mr.. Volstead, the
successful candidate. Not a
word of unkindness was ut
tered toward him, so for as [
know. ! am glad to assure you
that [ have known Mr.. volstead
a great many years, and while
he is a comparative stranger
in your community, he will be
found to be a man of high
character and ability, who will
represent the district in con-
gress to the entire satisfaction
of the people, [ have no doubt.
With best wishes, [ remain,
Yours truly,
E. 7. Young.

A CrOOkstOn special says
that away up in the Lake Of the
Woods country there is a vot-
ing precinct called Leclaire.
There were six votes cast i'll
this precinct, and in order to
reach the county seat the clerk
had to make roundabout
Journey of 26O miles. The cost
of the trip going and coming
was $7S, or $3.50 for each vote
cast. This seems rather high'
but Otter Tail county can dis
count it. In the town of Girard
there were only two votes cast,
but the cost of bringing in and
taking out the ballots was $3.50
The three Judges and two
clerks, if they put in full time,
will be entitled to 81 each, and
the printing of the ballot sent
to the town probably cost $50.
This would mean a total of
about $50, or $3.50 per vote. -

1t is the duty of every con-
sCientious voter to stand by
the candidate who stood by
his party at the primaries. A
man who is unwilling to
affiliate with any political party,
but is an all around good
fellow all the time, has no
right to look to the voters for
their support for any public
office. The provision for in
dependent candidates should
be eliminated from the primary
law.

POLITICAL NOTES.
E. I. Young.

The primary elections are
over. With some of us our
favorite candidates have won;
with others, they have lost, it
is the peoples verdict. They
have made the choice and it is
final. All the candidates had
their strong points, all had
their ardent friends but all
could not win. 1t is time now
that the first skirmish is over
to forget our disappointment
and to remember that it was
contest in the family. We are
all republicans and we can
settle our own differences for
ourselves, in fact we have
settled them. We as Repub-
liCans have named our Candi-
dates and now the thing to do
is to select them. This was a
contest among ourselves, the
next is with the Democrats,
our political enemies. Our
differences with them are those
of policy and principle, and we
will present to them from now
on solid united and har-
monious battle array that will
mean an old time, rousing Re
publican majority for Gov. Van
SAINT and for every man on the
ticket.-Clara City Herald,
Xxx

has now been tried and it
seems to have given general

Morris tribune., 1902-09-27

While the people of this
vicinity were for Young, there
was not one particle of hostility
felt towards Mr.. Volstead. AS
long as our candidate did not
win, we congratulate the dis
triCt on the nomination of Mr..
Volstead. He got his nominal
ton honestly, is a man of high
ideals, good character and fine
ability, He will enter upon
the discharge of his duties
with the esteem and good
wishes of all, and we predict
that he will be a success. -
