terms that the wolf fused with the lamb.
He wants Judge Moen Of Ada to pull off
the populist ticket and support him. Moen
has an idea he can get more votes than
McKinnon can, but he doesn't want Nc
Kinnon to pull off, believing that Steener-s
son would profit thereby more than he
would himself. In other words Moen
thinks McKinnon will draw from Steener-
would himself. In other words, Moen
and McKinnon will both keep on running
until Nov. 4, and Halvor STEVENSON
will leave them both far in the rear.

| Which Speaks for Democracy?
Shouldn't the democratic lights get to-
| gethef on one or two propositions? Only
| Thursday evening John Lind the idol of
the Minnesota democracy, praised Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his stand on the trust
| question. The following from the Red
| Wing Argus was probably already in type
otherwise the official organ Of the state
democracy would not have so contradicted
| it's three time leader:
| 1.-The point they make down east IS that
Roosevelt ought either to have said some
| thing or keep his mouth shut No fail
!agitating this thing without offering q
remedy at the same time. Roosevelt or
the other hand, does not see how any.
| body can object to what he said, seeing
he was all the time Sitting his real con-
vlctions.''

gestion:
speaking of candidates for speaker o
the next legislature, we have in mind
man, who, if elected, would fill the posi-
| ton with honor and credit-not only t.
himself, but to the republican party ant
state at large. We refer to David Sin
clair,* of %Winona. An old citizen, vet
eran republican, an old newspaper man
consequently capable and honest, the leg
islature would do itself an honor in MAX
ing him it's presiding officer. Mr.. sinc1ai
is not a candidate that we know Of blu
in the absence of old material in the hous
from which to select candidate, it Ger
tainly would be paying an old warriors
q well deserved compliment could hi
election to this position be brought about
Want Whtford Again.
Many republicans Of Dakota county ar
trying to bring out E. A. Whitford as
candidate for the house again. The coun
ty has two representatives, and J.
Kelly is the only republican candidate. I
is probable that If Mr.. Whitford Shout
run, both would be elected, as there i
considerable feeling over the turnin
down Of John Pennington at the demo
cratic primaries Mr.. Whitford was
leading member Of the last house, an
might be a speakership candidate If elect
ed. He tried for congressional honors
and hesitates to go after another offic
, this fall. but may yield to the pressur
Of his party associates in the county.
Law Is In Right Direction.
The Kenyon Leader voices the preva
lent sentiment on the primary e1ectio
law, as follows:
while there are numerous deficiencie
in the new primary law as it is foun
upon the statute books to-day, it doe
r not follow that it should be repealed. W
think the present law is very defectiy
and have before in these columns give
: our reasons therefor, but we also belie1
4 that the theory Of direct nominations is
= good one, and If the practical operation
J it correspondent with it, we should HAY
something IDEAL The new law has NJ
: removed everything that is objectionab
n in politics and no law ever will. VIII;
e the law is intended to do, however, is
give the people absolute control of non
nations. This is certainly right, and
will be1loove. the legislature which will
c elected in November to materially amer
d the law, but to repeal 1t should hard
. be considered
