What the Editors Say

The Republicans have been labering
long int earnestly to delude the peo-
PIE into believing that they have no
connection with the trusts, that they
are in direct opposition to them, and
that h trusts desire the defeat of
Roosevelt. This statement. widely cir
culated as tt has been, would undoubt-
eddy be an excellent vote winner were
1t not for the fact that certain little
incidents will pop up now and then
to diSprOye the assertion. E Fl. Har-
Erimanss declaration that mo one wants
the Republicans OUT George Gould's
expression OF confidence in Roosevelt
and his policies; the belief of Henry
Prick, of the Steel corporation, that
the president has earned the support
OF the business interests; the active
support of Roosevelt by Pierpont Nor
gan; n announcement by John w.
Gates that Roosevelt is safe and
sane and the contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund by nearly
every trust and corporation in the land
might be mentioned among these incl
dents. Unless the Republicans are
more successful in the future in keep
ing the support and sympathy of the
trusts in the dark, it will be the cause
OF their losing large numbers of votes
instead of gaining any.-Grafton IN.

Judge Lovely, who was nominated
by the Republican state convention and
was short changed" out of it by ward
politicians of Minneapolis, has been
given a chance fer his political life by
the Democratic convention. Lovely is
one of the ablest judges on the bench
and is clearly entitled to a second term.
Republicans should vote for him in
place OF Elliot, OF Minneapolis, who
gained a place on the ticket by the
~unseating of the Hennepin delegation,
the most wicked political outrage ever
committed in Minnesota. One way to
I this sort of chicanery is to vote
for Lovely.-St. Cloud Journal Press.
The primaries are over, but Bob
Dunn and Public Examiner Johnson
are not yet through. And their tete-a-
tete is quite interesting, especially to
many people who nave made applica-
tions for state mineral leases on Me-
sabi lands, only to find that the pieces
OF property desired had just been
taken up" but that some deal could
probably be made with the lucky own
ers of these various leases.-Virginia
Enterprise.
Gov. Van SAINT, in a speech recently
made by him, said that n party nom
ination should be SO strong that it will
secure the election of an unworthy
candidate" All persons DESTROYS of
good and honest officials are of the
same opinion. but what will the hide
bound party men have to say?-Ma-
Zeppa Journal.
Now that the meat strike has been
declared off we nav moi heard any
thing about the governments inyes-
tigation OF the beef trust. Perhaps
the liberal donation of the trust to the
Republican campaign fund has some
thing to do with the sudden change in

As they watch the maneuvers of

Wonder how many Republicans in
Meeker county have deliberately made
up their minds to vote for Ray w.
Jones for lieutenant governor this year.
n how about putting a cross after
Mills for railroad commissioner? Do
a little thinking.-Litchfield Independ-
emit.
Perhaps it would be just as well to
nominate all candidates by petition in
stead of at the primaries, as that form
of nomination is something Of a farce,
the way 1t is conducted nowadays
