POLITICS

Congressman Ste eners on's
visit to Bemidji has stirred the
Crookston Journal to several
leading editorials defending Mr..
STEVENSON, though what the
journal desires to defend Mr..
Steenerson against does not seem
clear. The big congressman Ger.
tainly has a clear field for renom
nation in Septem Der, and we
surmise that he is not worrying
much about republican success
in the ninth district in November
J. J. Regan, of Solway, has an.
nounced his candidacy as super.
intendent of schools. Mr.. Regain
is gentleman of wide exper:
fence, pleasing address and large
acquaintance. He has had nine
years experience in school work
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota, although he has
not been teaching during the past
three years. Mr.. Regain is really
one of the pioneers of Beltrami
caunty, having taken homestead
here several years ago. He has
many friends throughout the
county, is a worker himself and
promises to make an active cam
paign.
lthas been understood for some
time past that H. NJ. Edmunds,
of this city, would be a candidate
for superintendent of schools,
and Mr.. Edmunds' formal an
nouncement appears IN this issue
of the Pioneer. tits said that he
has already quietly accomplished
a good deal Of effective work and
that his candidacy is fairly we'll
known and accepted throughout
the county. Mr.. Edmunds is
well fitted both by education and
experience for the position. He
has taught in both rural and city
schools, was formerly principal
of the Bemidji high school and
last year superintendent Of the
city schools here, in both of which
capacities he did good work.
Congressman Buchanan h S
fled with the secretary Of state
notice Of his candidacy for re-
election to. congress from the
Sixth district. The close and
memorable fight between Buck
man and Foster two years ago
will lend interest to this years
contest. The ST. Cloud Journal
Press reviews Buchanan work
in commendatory tone and says:
SIT is no secret that a large
number Of Republicans would
welcome the candidacy of any
one Of half a dozen of prominent
Repu blicans in the district, in
Guiding Gunderson Of Alexan-
dria, Baumbach of Wadena, Lee
Of Long Prairie, Alley Of Wright
county and Brewer Of st. Cloud,
but none Of these men will make
the run. It can be settled as a
settled thing that the contest will
be between Buchanan and Eos
ter"
The St. Cloud Journal Press in
a long editorial, copied in full by
the Minneapolis Journal, takes
the Pioneer to task for threaten.
ing to read outof the republican
party certain newspapers which
have persisted in misrepresent-
ing the conditions under which
the republican state ticket was
nominated. The journal Press
declares that neither tho Pioneer
nor any other paper has the
power to read anybody out of the
party, which is perfectly true,
and had the Journal Press
not been so excited over it's de-
feat it could haye read the Pho
neer Alright and have discovered
that the statement made by the
Pioneer was that the newspapers
mentioned would be read out of
the party did they not cease their
lying attacks upon the state
ticket. The sense Of right of
the republicans Of the state may
be trusted to do the job.
