IN the state senate will serve Il like
purpose should he be elevated to a
seat in the national congress. The
voters Of the ninth district will make
no no mistake when they elect Senator
Grindeland, as we confidently believe
that they will. z
Reports respecting the progress Of
the congressional contest in the
ninth district Indicate that Senator
Andrew 1eda Grindeland is safely in the
lead and is likely to be nominated
with plenty Of votes to spare. This
result will be very fortunate one
for the district. No better man
could be selected in any district in
the state. His record in the state
sena te won for him reputation for
ability, integrity and loyalty second
to that Of no other member of that
body. This reputation was well de-
served and honestly earned He
was at all times true to his convic-
.tiohs OF duty, and had the courage
likewise to do his duty under all cir
cnmstances. AS member OF con-
gress he will take rank in point Of
ability with the ablest lawyers Of the
delega alton, and if hard work and
earnestness OF purpose can accomp-
*lishs this result, he will make a record
OF which the people OF his district
will have ample occasion to be
proud. They will have further oc-
cassfon to profit largely from the
results OF his earnest and active SER
vice. Luverne Herald.
The following item from yester-
day. Crookston Times, one Of the
most influential papers of. the North
west, is a fair and impartial estimate
of Mr.. Grindeland's legislative rec

isslnaking the most Of his work in
the aast Legislature, and circumstan-

.Grlndeland law, which makes it in
cumbent upon the commission men
to give. accurate account OF sales and
furnish bonds for the faithful dis
charge OF the duties imposed upon
them by the consignees, although
strenuosly fought by them, is now
being complied with and shows that
the law was carefully drawn and
much needed The recent decision Of
the supreme court sustaining the
law, has had the effect Of bringing it
into prominence, and has given Mr..
Grindeland a good deal Of favorable
notice among the newspapers Of the
state. The papers throughout the
valley are also commenting his
drainage law very highly. All in all,
Mr.. Grindeland's record in the last
legislature is standing him in good
stead in the present fight.
The Grindeland law which requires
commission men to give bonds that
they will deal honestly with farmers
and others whose products they
handle, has stood the testin the SUI
.preme court. This is one OF the i'm
.portant measures of the last session
which stands to the credit Of Re-
publican legislature. The following
praise and explanation Of this Re-
publican measure is given because it
appears in one OF the leading Demo-
cratic papers:
<'The Legislature Of last winter
passed a law requiring, commission
