s. The Henderunl Review, Norman
county paper which was for Grindeland all

|
The Henderum Review, a Norman
county paper which was for Grindeland all
over. says:
1.-THE Crookston papers are busy telling
how STEVENSON got the nomination on
his own merits, In spite of everybody in
the valley outside Of Crookston. They
may do well to recollect that there is an
other election coming and the Grindeland
forces do not seem to be II, any very great
rush about climbing on Halvor's band
wagon"
This Is only a sample of the talk that
comes from Grindeland supporters, who are
not at all comfortable over the way some
Of the Stevenson people have been rub
bling it in'' since the primaries. What
gals them particularly is thatth nominee
himself has not shown a disposition to
take them into his camp, although they
profess great willingness to come. One
prominent Grindeland man said the other
day: -. 49, -. -. .-#
1--WE would rather have had the other
man nominated, but now that the party
has. chosen Stevenson we are for him.
We want to help elect him, but it does not
look as If he wanted our help. He seems
to be afraid that we will throw him down,
so he keeps us at arms length, and 1t
looks as though he was going to recognize
only one element in making up his commit
tee. He will be elected all right, but that
district is not all one-sided, and before
the campaign is over Mr.. Stevenson will
want the help of all elements Of the repub-
! lican party. He hasn't asked for it>yet."
Say Moen VIII Run Second.
It is predicted that Judge Moen of Ada
the populist nominee in the ninth, will
| make strong run and will show his heels
to Alex McKinnon, the democratic candi-
10 ia TN, f1onN f,.cf t1o 1j~+e ~
that section far outnumber the democrats,
and now that they have their own state
ticket and their own candidate for con-
gress they have practically cut loose from
democratic connections. Then Judge
Moen is fighter, and on account Of his
strong prohibition views will have most Of
the prohibition vote of that section, which
is large. 1t is noticeable that it has NOM
mated no candidate of it's own. Moen is
popular in Otter Tail, where he was
brought up, and in Norman, where he now
lives, and will make a very good rum
McKinnon will not get populist votes, but
some Of the populists who stood for Steen-
erson at the primaries will vote for him at
the general election. He only needs to
hold the party vote to be safe, and that
he will do without question:.
Second Ward Got 1t All. .... 49,,
An odd outcome of the primary election
law is the democratic legislative ticket in
the thirty ninth district, comprising the
second and ninth wards of Minneapolis.
The ninth is a close ward, and the bulk
of the democratic vote Of the district is
there, but the legislative ticket is all from
the second. The ninth had candidate
for the senate in +. e. Hobbs and Messrs.
Sauer and Bartsch, two German demo-
Gratis, for the house. All got left, owing
largely to the desertion of ninth ward dem
! ocrats who voted the republican ticket.
| The senatorial nominee, s.. G. Brown, is
| from the second ward. The house nomi-
| nees, H. P. Stone and J. H. Mcclure, are
/ also second warders. F. N. Stacy, an
other second Warder, came very near NOM
kination. The ninth ward, which the DEM
ocrats have hopes Of carrying, has moth
! ing to help it's candidate for alderman,
and the second, which is hopelessly re-
publican has the whole thing.
| AS If the second did not have enough, it
is the home of J. c. Haynes, democratic
candidate for mayor, and Ed Conroy, dem
\ ocratc candidate for sheriff.
Good Words for the Governor.
" The Slayton Gazette says: In his trav-
els through the state Governor Van SAINT
| is developing an ability for making point
| ed, snappy speeches that always take
with the crowds. Captain Van SAINT has
| grown rapidly in public esteem since he
! Became Governor Van SAINT. The firm
ness displayed in the merger deal and his
| aptness{ Ia. handling people and questions
have compelled even his enemies to admit
that he is or the sturdy stuff that the best
| Of governors are made.
J.. The Worthington Globe, a paper here
tofore with democratic leanings, which
| has. come out for Van SAINT, follows up
with this frank statement:
| 1.-THE feature Of the governors style
/ which most impressed the Globe was his
determined honesty. There was sus-
picion in this writer's mind that the gov
Eernor might have made grand stand
play at several stages of the merger
fight; but thatsis changed, and the Globe
| will support MBr. Van SAINT for governor,
with settled conviction that he is
I worthy Of such support, bith because he
represents the antitrust sentiment Of
/ Minnesota more thoroughly than does, any
other man in the state, and also is man
In whom the people may place implicit
confidence" ., .
TWO Sides Of II.
The Virginia Enterprise (republican),
said recently: 1.-THE voters of the eighth
| will lose sight of political affiliations to
a great degree on Nov 4, when choosing
between a free trade republican and a
protective tariff democrat.
Fay, the democratic party has named a
man who will give the republican majority
in the eighth district hard chase, despite
it's normal size. Captain Fays sound
tariff views favoring the retainance of ex-
listing duties on iron and lumber, will ma
terially aid his candidacy In the iron and
! lum bering sections. Captain Fay will re-
ceive the hearty support of many range
republicans at the polls in November
Captain Fay is known as an honorable.
