The News calls attention to the fact
that senator Hansbrough owns the
Inter Ocean. Yes he started the
Inter Ocean, and has owned it for 90
years. The Senator was here whoop-
ing it up for Devils Lake and North
Dakota long before the editor Of the
News came here to pick up the
crumbs that fell in his path. And if
he wanted to the senator could own
the News and its editor, for both are

needs neither.

The result of the primary elections
held Monday indicate that Senator
Hale will be re-nominated by a. over
whelming majority. There never
was the slightest reason why he
should be retired. His record as a
legislator and a citizen is above
criticism, and the good work he has
done merits the magnificent endorse

the people. It IS no reflection upon
Andrew Stade to be beaten in the
contest. The Inter Ocean questions

Press, like many other statesmen who
have been il the county barely long
enough to entitle them to vote, anu
who are very industrious in showing
men who have made this county what
it is how to do things, has made the
mistake SO liable to occur to those
who assume to, talk about things of
which they know little or nothing.
Tie republicans which the Free
Press is trying to represent have had
very little if anything to do with
making Mr.. Hansbrough U. S. Sena-
tor for eighteen years. The opposi- .
tion has delighted to parade the fact
that the senator was never able to-
carry his own county until two years

Senator Hansbrough should have no
voice in the politics Of Ramsey
county, except in senatorial elections.
Senator Hansbrough had nothing at
stake in the caucuses held in this
