w. G. Whiteman, of the Ortonville
Herald-Star in his last issue has some
comments on the recent meeting of the
State Editorial association, and his
remarks show the manner of man he is.
Mr.. Whiteman betrays not a trace of
ill-feeling or soreness. He resents the
statement that there was any occasion
for the charge of inhospitality on the
part of the city of Minneapolis, or OF
those who provided the entertainment.
He says:
''This division of opinion did :.
not extend to the editors however,
all of whom were abundantly sat :
isfed with the treatment accorded
them by the Flour City,"
He further comments as follows. :,
In addition to the political, u
scrap generated in our midst for.
the Office of president, the. editors
found State politics an absorbing =
topic for discussion. But in view .
of the fact that both the candidates,
for president were supporters of
r. G. Dunn, it was difficult to
draw the line and read any politi-
cal significance from the RESULT "

While in Minneapolis recently the
editor of the Union overheard the
following conversation on First
avenue and Thirty-irst street car one
evening at supper time. The car had
just reached the summit of the hill
that cuts off the Eighth ward from the
noisy din of the city and was starting
like a race horse for Twenty sixth
street when a member of the James
Bryant post was heard to say, "What
do you think of Collins, Harry?"
"Don' t think anything very compli-
mentary" said Harry. I have nothing
against the Judge when he's on the
bench, but 1 don't like to see him drag

support Collins because of the crowd of

His hackers are mostly off-color, and
are led by Van SAINT Office holders who
want to put off the obsequies as long
as possible. I supported Van SAINT in
all his political fights, but have got to
part company with him now. Bob
Dunn will have my support this time. =
''That' right said another man

Dunn, but there are whole lot of us

positions under Collins if he should

The investigation of the State audi

ministration at present has the appear
ance of proving a boomerang for the
Collins forces. Paul A. Gunders.

have been indiscreet in writing Dunn
that as far as the investigation had
proceeded there had been nothing
found irregular during his incum-
bency of the auditors Office, but at
the same time it shows to what ex-

up something to down Dunn. Gunders

SIXTH DISTRICT PAPERS.
Out of Fifty Republican and Independ,
Papers Thirty Are for Dunn.

| Out of Fifty Republican and independent
Papers Thirty Are for Dunn.
Judge Collins resides in the Sixth
congressional district and it would ap-
pear natural that his newspaper sup
port here would be fully equal to that
to be found anywhere else in the State,
but in the face of the following COM
pilation made by the Tribune, it is not
difficult to understand that the admin
istration managers will not willingly
abide by such a comparison.
Omitting the Democratic newspapers
there are fifty Republican and indie
pendent papers in the district. Of
these the Tribune has positive know
ledge that thirty are for Dunn for gov
ernor, seven for Collins, twelve are
either non-committal or not received
at this Office. One is for Eddy.

Fight Fair and be Honest.

Robert G. Dunn's candidacy for the
Republican nomination for governor
is growing in favor in this section
each day. The campaign of misrep-

by the opposition is doing him no

his detractors. Fight fair. and be

The Gunders Episode,

Well, s'pose Mr.. Gunders must be
treated to the lash by the administra-

the Princeton U O thathe found no
mark against him in all the research
he made of the State auditors Office
under the influence and eye of his
chief, Johnson. Has it come to this
that subordinate cannot vindicate
the character of man because that
man happens to be opposed to the
gang? Mr.. Dunn is honest but they
will not hear.-Granite Falls Tribune.

Next Sunday is the one hundreth

hundred years the British and the
American Bible societies have spent
over 100000, 900 in printing Bibles
and distributing the same throughout
the world. In 1920 it cost S1.7O to
print Bible, while now the cost is
only eighteen cents. The Bible keeps

has ever surpassed it in popularity.

tors. present. If Mr.. Dunn had
said as much the anti-Dunn people

A Personal Acquaintance.

Another reason for not few good
words for Mr.. Dunn from Democratic
papers is the fact, that, being an old

ations. Is it any wonder that many
of his Democratic brethren of the press
have kindly words for him?-Blue
