What the Editors Say

The gubernatorial bee is again buz-
zing in Judge Collins honnet. Let 'er
buzz! 1t tickles the judge and hurts
nobody else. Whether or not Collins is
Van SAINTS choice cuts no figure, for
the Republicans of the state will do
their own choosing without special re-
gard for the wishes of the administra-
ton crowd. Besides, there are many
who believe he is put forward for the
sole purpose of injuring Dunn's can
dldacy if possible, and not as a bona
flde aspirant for the nomination. The
sincerity of his candidacy will certainly
be open to dispute as long as he hangs
on to his seat on the supreme bench

In his address at the unveiling of the
monument at st. Paul in honor of Min
nesota soldiers in the Civil war, Capt
III. A. Castle, in recounting the serv-
ices of regiments, referred to the
Fifth Minnesota at Nashville" If the
orator of the occasion had been a Min
nesota soldier, as he should have been,
instead of an Illinois veteran, he would
have been aware of the fact that in that
great battle four Minnesota regiments
stood side by side-Fifth, Seventh,
Ninth and Tenth. On no other field did
the state make a better showing.-St
Cloud Times.
The East Grand Forks Valley View
laments the removal of slot machines
and gambling devices from the city
and the closing of saloons according to

Notwithstanding the ushering out by
Van SAINT of another candidate into the
political arena in the person Of Judge
Collins, ex-Auditor Dunn Is becoming
more and more popular and his
strength Is becoming so great that
there now remains but little doubt as
to his nomination and election next
fall. The only thing that might pre-
vent his becoming the next governor OF
Minnesota IS the nomination of a good
Democratic opponent.-Kittson County
Enterprise.
When the Van SAINT organs are called
upon to give a bill of particulars as to
wherein Bob Dunn and Joel HeatWole
have ever been recreant to a public
trust or the interests of the people, they
close up like an oyster and say nothing
or else yell merger" They can't lead
the people astray from the fact that
Van SAINT wants to succeed himself by
any such twaddle as that.-Belview In
dependent.
If Judge Collins desires to be the
next governor of Minnesota, let him
go after the nomination in a manly
fashion, resign from the judgeship and
make the race. The people of Mime
sofa will not take kindly to him drag
ging the ermine into the bull pen Of
practical politics.-Crookst ston Times.
The Duluth Herald wants to know if
Gov. Van SAINT will appoint Marcus d.

The Northwest news of the Twin
City papers Is becoming known chiefly
for the truths it does not tell, especially
the Pioneer Press. The motto of that
paper should be, "If you see 1t in the
Pioneer Press it isn't so."-Belle Plaine
Herald.
Gov. Van SAINTS dictum Of whom
the Republicans must nominate to sue
