Result of Observations While on a
Speaking Tour-solid Repub-

Speaker Cannon's private car, in which
he recently made a speaking tour of West
Virginia arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio
station in this city early this morning. Mr..
Cannon remained on the car until about 10
o'clock, when he went uptown. He will
leave at o'clock this afternoon for Balti-

Mr.. Cannon was seen by Star reporter
when he arrived here and was asked for his
views of the campaign.
I'VE had great meetings. responded the
Speaker. Il have no doubt about West Vir-
ginia, as it is a thorough protection state
Her principal industrieS~are lumber with
her great timber area, and coal, probably
the most extensive and best in the world.
Her agricultural development is gradual
market being found in the state for all of
her agricultural products; even then she
does not begin to supply her own people.
In the western part of the state there are
iron mills, potteries and glass works, great
industries that have been multiplied by two
since Mckinley was elected.
Every one in West Virginia is fully en-
ployed at fair rate of wages. This pros
perity depends upon the Oil, natural gas,
coal and timber which finds home market
in this country, so that The million of peo-
pie in West Virginia cannot prosper with

II am satisfied that West Virginia will
give majority for Roosevelt and Fair
banks and the whole republican ticket and
return a solid delegation to the national
House of Representatives.
1--WE are having a harder contest to elect
a republican House," continued Mr.. Cannon,
in reply to a question, sthan we have to
elect Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Mr.. Roose-
welt is a tower of strength to all the local
tickets, and while cha gga9of sixteen over
the present republican Ezs,nbership in the
House would give the deinNsrats majority,
1 am encouraged to believe that we will
carry the House. ~

welt that is not approved by the people.
They laugh at the absurdity of Imperialism,
czarism and militarism. There is no danger
of Caesarsm or czarsm, and the people
know 1t. Our friends, the enemy, in raising

Emergency Medicines.

It is a great convenience to
have at hand reliable remedies
for use in cases of accident and
and for slight injuries and all
ments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming favorite
if not a household necessity is
Cham berlain s Pain Balm. By
applying it promptly to cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in
about one third the time usually
req uired, and as it is an antisep-
tic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand sprain
may be treated before the in
fiamation sets in, which insures
a quick recovery. For sale by

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
The Primary Law.

The primary law was given it's
second test yesterday. tits too
soon to say what the events of
the past few weeks have taught
US as to the law. This much is
certain-there is more dissatis-
faction with the law, that is,
more dissatisfaction of a serious
nature, than there was two years
ago. Then the outcry was
that the law pryed Into a
mans private affairs in COMPEL
ing him to declare his political
affiliations. Today the law is
complained Of because of the
heavy bill of expense it causes
the candidate, because it is break
ing down all political lines, be-
cause it affords even greater op-
portunities for political combina-
tons to defeat the popular will
than did the convention system.
Whether these complaints are
justified by the operation of the
law, we shall be in a better posi-
ton to Judge when we are further
removed from this, the second
test.
One thing which will have
much to do with the fateOf the
law, will be the vote cast yester-
day throughout Minnesota. A
heavy vote will argue in favor of
the law, while a light vote, will
be taken to mean Indifference
on the part of the people, and
the law will be greatly endang-
cred.

A Clean Canvass.

Beltrami county is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that,
while the campaign of the past
few weeks has been an earnest
one, actively prosecuted by the
various candidates, there has
been little of "mud singing.
The primary law involves a most
strenuous personal contest be-
tween candidates and it is a trib.
ute to the worth of the candi-
dates that there has been so
much good humor, so little re-
elimination and so few personal
attacks. Even where ample am
muniuiOn was to be had it has
been withheld and the candi-
dates have been content to pre-
sent their qualifications rather
their disqualifcations. This has
not been universally true but it
has been generally so and there
is as a result far less bitterness
today than might be expected.
With hardly an exception the
winners are entitled to their win
nings and the defeated have
made good fight.
