Bede's Budget: II Bucknan gets
into congress he will make good

on Indi IN relations.
II the republican officers. were 90
good as the Transcript says. Why
didn't the people keep them in Office.
When they got q chance, to get a
whack at them, the people laid them
out cold
c, P. Stith of Swanville is in every
way worthy of Being commissioner
from the fifth district. He will not
be under Fuller's thumb, but will
properly represent his constituents.
His prospects of election are exec ed
iDgly good.

Monticello Times: Buckman ia re-
ported to have said he was in favor
offree lumber. Thereport, probably,
is campaign lie to meet the exigen-
ces of the occasion. If he is in favor
OF free lumber why shouldn't be be in
favor of free iron and steel, free su-
gar, free coal, etc, etc. Mr.. Buck
man must stand by the party. The
president is not in favor of revision.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw de-
nounces it. Senators Lodge, AID
rich, Platt, and nearly ali thu repub-
lican leaders in the senate are op-
posed to any change in the present
tariff. Does anyone suppose Mr..
Buckman will have any influence in
getting free lumber for his district
under these conditions? Not a bit
of it. As We have said the report ia
a canard. If true it is pure bum
combe.
Brainerd Arena: DR.. Du Bois is q
man of education, ability and STAIN
less life. He is q believer in honesty
in politics and honesty is the keY-
stone OF his life. Could the same be-
said of hie opponent, ia this, a nat
urally republican district, there is
reason to believe he had an uphill
light People who kn.s most OF
Buckman are the most ready to vote
for DR.. Dubois.
The only arguments advanced for
Buckman's election are based on the
misleading cry of q subsidized repub-
iican press: I'VE must elect q man in
sympathy with the president, one
who VII uphold him. And the way
4uch papers az the Brainerd Dis
patch, Lit,l: Falls Transcript, st.
Cloud Journal Press, Alexandria
Post-News, Wadena Pioneer journal,
and u number Of other bantam
weig hts are poundil g their readers
over the back with the changes on
that senstless gag is at least enough
to cause belief that they deem their
candidate in jeopardy.
The assertion that the cry ''up.
hold the present" is senselss gag is
based upon the knowledge that most
republicans believe in tariff reform
as q relief from trust domination,
that President Roosevelt has said
there will be no tariff reform. There
is an utter lack of harmony in the
situation which can scarcely be tor
tured into an argument in favor of
Buckman's election.
On the other hand look at Buck
mans record. So rank that even
his party papers have said harsher
things about him than the demo-
Gratis have. The Minneapolis Jour.
nal said that the Foster vote in tho
primaries (iackinR but 81 votes of
the nomination) va. q protest
AGAINST Buckman.
Editor Fuller, of tho Little Falls
Transcript, knows Buckman and
probably told the truth about him
when zhe said:
"!Some Office seekers of ell political
parties place their own personal in.
tereste above every other considera-
etion. They will betray their p,rty
associates and their party prinei-> !:
Piles for the sake Of obtsiniog some
position for themselves. And when
they are employed In the most dis
reputable tricks for some personal
Advantages they prate the most OF
political honor and honest methodo.
Now that G. B. Buckman has bolted
a convention In which he was fairly
beaten, he appeals to tbe people in
the name of honest politics.
Today the Transcript snivel., pro-
tests and threatens, 1t pleads loud
and long for the people to elect q
man who will t'bstray his party 40.
