The Fertile Journal announces:
Mayor Ames was up from Minneapolis
again the latter part OF last week, and de-
clared he is to become resident of Fertile
block of land in the southwestern part of
the village, contracted for brick and will
build residence this spring.
Which leads the Hawley Herald to observe:
The strange part of this move will probably
joice.
The mayor has also purchased section
of land in the vicinity of Fertile showing a
tendency to thrift quite in contrast with his
disposition in the old days. AS to his making
Polk county village his home, the doctor
evidently has in mind date two or three
years in the future. The rejoicing of Mime
apolis and Fertile is indefinitely postponed.
The Morris Sun gives clear and logical
statement of the governorship situation in
the following:
The fact that Governor Van SAINT will, as
result OF the fight ne is making against the
railway interests to contend with in the
next campaign, should he be nominated seems
to have badly scared many of the republican
newspapers in the state, and they propose
nominating some other candidate for gov
ernor, some one who is more favorable to
the interests of the railroads. If the fact

fn . fo,y1 &c 70 no 49,
merely a question as to which is the most es-
sential. the support of the corporate interests
of the state or the general public. Both are
strong~but we believe the support Of the
people in this case is the most to be desired
as Governor Van SAINT has materially
strengthened his candidacy with the people by
the fight ne has~made in their interest No
fhaye the undivided support of both the rail-
| road interests and the people, and should any
other candidate than Van SAINT be put up he
would be regarded as the candidate of the
railroads, which would be good campaign
material for the opposition
w. D. Joubert, the Litchfeld postmaster,
| remarks in his News Ledger:
If Governor Van SAINT did not feel burning
sensation about his ears last Monday, he
must must be nsensible to feeling.
Beyond doubt Mr.. Joubert, who attended
the momentous conference" at the Mer-
chants that day, did his share toward the

The Bemidji Pioneer which is Loyalty sun
porting the candidacy Of w. f. Street for
state senator, says:
Dr.. N D. Watson, OF Red Lake county, may
be candidate for state senator When he
comes to travel over a certain Street down
here in Beltram, he may get stuck in the
mud.
To which the Ada Index replies:
the Norman county pike he will have clear
sailing.
They do say that Watson will have strong
backing in Norman county, including SEN
ator Myran. Charles B. Cheney.
