The Globe made a good

4 bic for the election of John
son. / am frank to say that
/ there was no abuse or villifi-
. cation of Mr.. Dunn in The
. Globe. 1t took smart advan-
: tage of the news as it tran
spired, but [ saw no sign or
personal abuse. 1t would
not be too much to say that
J no better newspaper cam
. paign has been made in this

FRANK A. DAY
rlanager Johnson Campaign.

It would be difficulty to
overestimate the value of the
services of The Globe in the
recent campaign. It was ag-
gressive. 1t made no mis-
takes. 1t had the faculty to
present the facts in a terse,
vigorous style, so they quick
ly caught the eye of the
voter. The Globe furnished
the keynote of the campaign
for tens of thousands of
loyal supporters of Mr.. John
son thruont the state. It's
columns. were free from
offensive personalities, and
it has every reason to have a
warm spot in the, heart of
every Democratsin Minneso-

JAMES A. r1ARTIN.
rlanager of Dunn Campaign.


In fairness, must say that
I consider The Globe did
most effective work for it's
candidates in the state cam
paign. The paper made the
most of the rumors relating
to the Republican campaign
aud candidates, and it kept
within the lines and did not
have to take back anything
during the campaign. Much
of the value of a newspaper
in a political campaign is to
provide something for the
leaders in the various dis
tricts on which to make their
arguments from day to day,
and The Globe did this work
very we'll, indeed. The Globe
was certainly in the fight up
to last minute. James A.
Martin.
Morris tribune., 1904-11-26

You cannot draw line to God from your
self alone No one can measure the sky with
one point as base. Get your other point first;
find your brother man; lay down your base line
to him; establish your angles from your mutual
aspirations and affections, and you have solved
this problem of the Higher rrigonometry,-
Crosby.
Morris tribune., 1904-11-26

Duluth used voting machines at the last
election and is well pleased with the result
Had Minneapolis and ST. Paul used them, the
former would not now have mayoralty contest
and the latter judgship contest. Criticism
is passed on the machine used in Duluth how
ever as it permitted TO vote the straight
ticket by pressing one lever. This is contrary
to the spirit at least of the Minnesota law.
Minnesota does not put premium voting a
split ticket. The split ticket i'll certain instances
may be unwise but it shows that the voter is
discriminating, and when he must indicate his
choice for each office, truer indication of the
will of the people is given than when the voter
can vote the straight ticket by making one cross
or pulling one lever.
Morris tribune., 1904-11-26

1t is said that Hennepin county will stand
soidly behind J. B. Gilfllan for Emitted States
senator, and that there is going to be quite a
fight for Clapp's place. We know nothing par
ticularly good or bad about Gilfillan, but we are
pleased to know how the delegation of the 9th
district will vote.

A GREAT AGRICULTURAL

farmers how to make two blades

latter out of business. Its first
discovery in this field is that

the Wilson bill the voter will

mote intelligent voting and to

After searching all through the city, Barth
was compelled to give up the dog at last
and started home without him.
All along the route Barth worried about
the dog and many times expressed the fear
that Scout" would try to follow them
through the snow of the mountains. The
route direct was over 230 miles, and raging
rivers, great banks of snow and other OBJ
stacles interviewed, but when Barth and his
companion drove up to the door of Barth's
home Scout" was there and rushed forth
