al in removing Redwood county
from the second district, thus
shutting off opposition to Nc
C1eary in the latter's own
political stamping grounds and
incidentally benef1tting him
self, by adding county to this
district which he expected to
carry. Having carried out his
part of the agreement Bowling
has now enlisted McCleary in
his behalf and the latter is
bombarding the postmasters in
the southern half of the district
with letters asking them to
support bowling. McCleary
has apparently on purpose de-
layed the inspection of rnral
free delivery routes in order to
give Bowling a chance to make
promises of early inspection
and give the people an exalted
idea of the Influence" which
he possesses. That all this is
against the spirit and intention
of the law governing public
officials seems to cut no figure
with Bowling who appears to
think that all means are legiti-
mate which will accomplish
the desired result. If such
things could be brought to the
attention of President Roose-
welt, Mike Dowling's political
methods in this campaign
would be roundly denounced
to the empathic manner of the
man who now occupies the
White House and whose hatred
of political jobbery is pro-
verbial.-Appleton Tribune.

Farmer Ben in the Austin
Transcript, pays this tribute
to President Roosevelt:
II tell you I've been readin
Teddy Rooseve1t's speeches
down in Yankee land with an
intensity and impetuosity OF
interest that made 'em meat
and drink to an old mans in
tellectuality. His idees on the
trust business correspond te-
totally with Farmer Ben's, and
he tackles these 1eviathan en-
terprises which are deleterious
to the general community with
a grip like a bear. He Calker-
lates that solder governmental
supervision of capitalistic rings
is goin to help regulate such
unholy combines and if strick-
ter laws are executed as we'll
as made agin 'em, We'll see 'em
come down from their high
horse they're ridin' SO defiantly
and curelly and unfeelingly.
Roosevelt furthermore depOses
and says that the average man
hood of our citizens sizes up
our real strength as republic.
The man who takes good care
of his wife and children, who
is a naybor whom his naybors
can trust, who acts squarely in
his business deals, and who
gives a proper example OF
Twin in the concrete form is
the kind of citizens to ag-
gregate in a bunch and make a
that can stand the
storms and shocks of national
Twin. And our noble pres
ldent is pretty fair sample of
lust this ideal kind of citizen"

A candidate who deserves
the support of his party, is
Albert Nysteun of Hancock,
who has filed for the nomina-
ton as judge of probate OF
Stevens county on the repub-
lican ticket. While Mr.. Nysteun
is in reality, a new man in
politics, yet his past record is
one that will assure the voters
of Stevens county the most
efficient service in the event OF
his election. He has taken an
active part in village affairs at
Hancock during his residence
there, and has served the
village in the capacity of as
SCISSOR for some time. Mr..
Nysteun is an old resident of
Stevsnt county, is a firm be-
lever in the principles of the
Republican party, and his re-
cord as an honest, energetic
business man and citizen de-
serves the consideration of
ever conscientious voter.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Senator E. 7. Young's canvas
for the republican nomination
for congressman has now ad,
vanced to a stage where his
victory is assured. He has
made an honorable and clean
campaign and has treated his
adversaries in a gentlemanly
manner. By nature and train
ing he is the ideal man for the
position and Outranks the other
two candidates in every respect,
in ability, experience and
character.-AppIeton Tribune.
*
The nationality question is
entering more or less into four
Minnesota congressional dis
tricts. In the first, fifth,
sevnth and ninth districts
there are men of Norwegian
descent running for the repub-
1ican nomination. The Swedish
republicans have not a single
candidate in the state, and
they have only one democratic
candidate; John Lind. While
it is not only openly advanced
as a reason, the nationality of
these candidates is unquestion-
able helping their chances for
nomination. They are, Thorvald
V. Knatvold of Albert Lea,
candidate in the first district;
James A. Peterson of Mime
apolis, ia: the fifth; Andrew
Volstead of Granite Falls, in
the seventh; Andrew Grinde-
land OF Warren and Halvor
Steenerson of Crookston, in
the ninth. All are formidable
candidates, but it is extremely
improbable that they should
win in all four distrIc ts.-Nin-

One of the most beneficial

an old adage, but it might be

President Roosevelt barely

President Roosevelt barely
escaped a tragic death at Pitts
field, Mass, last Wednesday,
when an electric car struck
the Garage in which he was
riding, instantly killing Secret
Service Agent William Craig,
and seriously injuring the
driver, David Pratt of Dalton.
While the president was not
seriously hurt, he was serious
ly shaken up. Between the
assassin's bullet and the trolley
cars, the lives of our chief
executives are continually in
jeopardy.

The most logical candidate
for the office of county super

ly lands the nomination. Just

DOWLING'S CAMPAIGN.

In his public addresses
President Roosevelt always
emphasizes the Importance of
character. Honesty is the most
important quality in every
position in life and in no posi-
ton more important than in a
public officer. The significant
fact should not be lost view OF
in the congressional campaign
in this district. NJ. 7. Bowling
is credited with substantial
gains during his canvass Of the
last few weeks. Suppose this
is true, and it apparently is.
what means is he employing tC
further his candidacy? Several
newspapers have changed from
Volstead to Bowling, but what
persuasive powers he has EN-
ployed we shall not discuss

which he is using openly and
that is the machinery of the

AN American Question.

Now a lot of DemocratS-to-win think
they see chance in the Philippine ques-
ton; they want TO follow Senator Hoar
off into the wilderness of vagarieS.
They show signs of opposing the war
in the islands and marrying the govern
ment about the atrocities incident to
warning with savage people. Ii won
work. No party in this country can
win by opposing the armies actually in
the field. The time to oppose he war
in the Philippines was when the treaty
was up for consideration There may
have been atrocities enough in the Phil
ippines; bat the remedy is not to be had
through political campsign.-Milwan-
kee News.
The foregoing extract is taken from
an editorial in The News, entitled
What of Democraey's Course" The
News advises democrats to accept
the situation the country is in, a newt
able. 1--WE have the islands, now what
shall we dos" That IS the only political
question there is any sense in discussing
Shall we give them their independence
rs speedily as practicable, or shall We
subvert our constitution and the whole
theory Of our government by making
colonies Of them Looking at the mat
ter from the stand point of party poll
ties alone, the suggestion of the News
may be correct. 1t may not help the
democratic party to conGemn ontrages
committed in the islands in the name
of the American people. 1t may have
the effect to hurt the party rather than
help 1t, as the News thinks. Suppose
that to be the case. What then Shall
aa American citizen refrain from con-
domination of great wrong because he
cannot see that his party win benefit
there5y,-or because he fears it may
hurt his party AS the PILoT recently
said, our view is that this is not a party
question. st is as the immortal Alt
geld would say. An American

A GOOD deal has been said b. the Stall
warts about the army of game wardens
which have been appointed by Gov. La
Toilette the past year. This grumbling
shows how republicans keep in office.
The last year under Gov. Schofield the
expenses for game wardens was s41 500;
the past year under Coz. La Toilette
the expense has been S35, TAG. Accord
