THIS from the Duluth News
Tribune will be to many an inter
esting bit of news, but it is also
an eloquent editorial on the GU
bernatorial campaign in this
state:
Samuel T. Johnson, state
public examiner, is a re]a-
tive of Editor McLain, Of the
Minneapolis Journal. This
fact will prove enlightening
to many Republicans who
have failed to see the logic in
the Journals aggressive sup
port Of the examiner.
Mr.. johnson was appointed
to his present office by Gov
ernor Van SAINT at the insist
ence of the Journal. The
latter, feeling responsiblefor
Mr.. McLain's relative whom
it backed for office, has evi.
IDENTIFY felt it incumbent upon
itself to make good on the
johnson blunders.
The animus with which the
Journal has pursued Mr..
Dunn, therefore. is at least
partly due tofamilyinterests.
The influence of the lum Der
ring, which goes far in it's
influence and control with
the Journal, is, of course,
the primary cause of the
Journals hostility.

Tyler county politicians have
good grounds for the belief that
C. B. Riggle, of this city, who has
been nominated by the Democracy
for the office of Prosecuting At
torney. will make a winning fight.
Mr.. Riggle has never been a
chronic officeSeeker, but his ac
uuaintance throughout the cOun
ty is quite extensive, and there
are many Republicans who will
cast their vote for him in the No
vember election. His record is an
enviable one, and his political star
is destined, unless all signs fail. to
attain great brilliancy. The peo-
pie of Middlebourne know Chris
Riggle well. They recognize and
appreciate his sterling worth as a
citizen and are possessed Of full
knowledge of his qualifications for
the position to which he aspires.
Mr.. Riggle was born at North
Bend (now Josephs Mills, Tyler
county. on April %, 1864, and
moved on a farm near Middle
bourne with his parents in 1868.
He attended the common schools
of the county until he attained the
age of II years and when only IS
years of age he taught his first
term of school at Long Bottom,
