What the Editors Say

]. L. Townley, H. S. Yarrow and
w. E. Parker returned from the state
Democratic convention at Duluth Fri
day morning Mr.. TownIey took a
particularly prominent part in the pro-
ceedings of the convention, and, being
an anti Hearst man, was naturally
pleased with the outcome. - Fergus
Falls Journal.
Mr.. Townley should now explain
why his delegation voted solidly for
j. X. Bennett Jr., the Hearst manager.
Let US have the reasons-down here
in Stearns county, Democrats want
to know, you knOW.-St. Cloud Times.
And now, as school is out and hun
dredS of boys are wondering what to
do next, the News would suggest the
most healthful thing in the world, and
that is to go out onto a farm and dig
right in for the summer. Work never
hurt one-tenth as many boys as idle
ness, and the boys that get there in
this world are those who are not afraid
to pitch in and hustle. Good outdoor
work in the sunshine and early to bed
nights will make good timber for fu
ture statesmen and founders of good
homes.-Northfield News.
We view the action Of almost one
half the delegates to the recent Demo-
cratic state convention, in attempting
to overthrow such men as John Lind
and G. D. O'Brien and to replace them
by such time-Worn barnacle as J. M.
Bowler and such an unknown STRIPPING
as Swan Turnblad, as very poor pol
tiles. Probably they understood what
they were doing. Certain it is, that no.
body else did.-Wilkin County Gazette.
The Minnesota Democrats have
achieved something very like harmony,
when all sides admit that they are vic
toriOuS. The Hearst men got the plat
form, the organization and half of the
delegates. The anti-Hearst men got
the platform, the convention and half
of the delegates.-Duluth News Tri-
bune.
The state Democratic convention had
lively time at Duluth, and the anti
batting the proposition for an instruct
ed delegation. For delegates at large
the Hearst element has one and the
ants three. The district delegates are
evenly divided, between the two fac
tions.-Pelican Rapids Press.
The state Of Minnesota cannot now
| be recognized as a Hearst stronghold.
The Democratic convention failed to
doing so they exhibited good sense.
Hearst would be an easy man to beat,
but there are people one doesn't like
to fight With.-Grand Forks Herald.
1t is to hoped that when the Repub-
lican state convention is over every
body will be satisfied" as was the case
after the Democratic convention. Even
the Hearst manager, who claimed 222
majority in the convention, was ''Well
satisfed"-to be left at honest.
Cloud Times.
While the recent Democratic conven-
ton at Duluth demonstrates that
Hearst sentiment is not very strong in
this state, it also shows that anti-Par-
ker sentiment is quite strong; and that
| is what was desired more than Hearst
supremacy.-Winona Independent.
1t is The ST. Paul G 1 o that says
the Duluth convention was harmonious
Yes, we should judge SO, by the riot
! call that was sent out, and the state
| ment made by O'Brien, that the dele
gates acted like a pack of maniacs.-
| Mankato Free Press.
| Senator John c. Spooner had his
fine gold convention badge stolen at
Chicago. 1t is comforting to know it
