Midway News: Swearing he ne'er
would exhibit himself with bulls and
pumpkins, the umbrella man stood at
the Austin fair.
St. Paul Herald: Some of the Ram
sey county candidates who gave up
$40 in order to get their name on the
official ballot as a candidate for Office
will be going around without an over
coat when the first snow flies.
Duluth News Tribune: James J.
the Great Northwest. Purposeful, re-
sourceful, great in present fact and
future promise. Progress is his watch
word, as it is the keystone of North
western greatness.
Owatonna Chronicle: The Pioneer
Press is devoting so much space to tell
ing about the remarkable harmony and
satisfaction dwelling within the repub-
lican ranks as to the state ticket that
republicans all over the state are get
ting nervous.
Lake Crystal Union: 1t will be
sight to be seen, the men wearing knee
breeches at the ball to be given by Mrs.
Herman Oelrich, one of those wealthy
snobs at Newport. There will be dis
played whole bunch of crooked
shanks and scrawney soup-bones orna
mented with bit OF ribbon bow at
the knee.
Clara City Herald: If any coterie of
politicians attempt the defeat of
Senator Clapp for reelection, they will
find stupendous task on their hands.
Senator Clapp is one Of the biggest
and brainiest men in the state and we
doubt if there is an ADLER man in the
United States senate. TO defeat him
| would be the rankest kind of folly for
the republican party.
Spring Valley Mercury: Immense
quantities of Duchess apples haYe been
shipped from Spring Valley in bulk.
For the past two weeks one to two
carloads day were shipped from here
for which the farmers receive 25 cents
bushel. Refrigerator cars were used
and B. R. Temple iced them, it taking
about two tons of ice to each car.
Farmers brought their apples here from
Is to 18 miles.
Jackson Republic: An editorial in
the Austin Transcript from Ben St.
Ohn's old home speaks we'll of him as
boy and young man and we can assure
his Mower county friends and neigh
b0rS that he has never done anything
since his residence in Jackson county
to change their good opinion of him.
Ben is an honest, square dealing, prac-
tical business man and if elected to the
legislature will never dissapoint his
friends
Wabasha Herald: Why not make
public Examiner JOhnson's last report
on Mr.. Dunn and the state auditors
office before election-yes- away?
If it is favorable to Mr.. Dunn he should
have it, that he may go to the voters
with it, while if it is not favorable the
voters should have it so that they may
60 for Mr.. Dunn with it. 1t belongs to
the public to have it, and have it
reasonable length Of time before
election, at that.
Waseca Herald: There is not a
working OK in Waseca county accord
ing to the assessors return. What
change, my countrymen,' in forty-f
years! Then the roads were covered
pecially in the fall of the year. From
from fifty to one hundred OK teams and
lumber wagons in line, laden with
| wheat, making their tired and weary
way to Hastings, our nearest wheat
| market.
Albert Lea Enterprise: The man
ayers of the creameries of FreebOrn
county should turn deaf ear to the
solicitations of Swift and Co., the great
packers, and members of the beef trust,
for creamery butter. They are enemies
of the dairymen and would really like
to see the butter business destroyed al
together. Don't sell them pound of
butter even though they pay 4 Or
cent above that paid by the reliable
commission houses.
| Ortonville Journal: We lost SUBJ
scriber the other day. The man said
that he couldn't afford to take paper
He liked the paper and all that but he
was too poor. Since that we have
noticed his name on several kegs that
make Milwaukee famous and the user
infamous as they have arrived at the
depots here. We wonder if there is
any connection between the poverty
and the kegs. If so how long will it be
before the beer will make the man rich
enough to afford to take the home
paper?
Albert Lea Times: AS the practice
is at present under the new primary
law, candidates for the legislature and
congress have rather too free rein,
they are rarely placed on record except
as they vote with their party at the
direction of few leaders in congress,
they are guided by no instructions from
constituents, restricted by no personal
or party pledges and they are re-
sponsible chiefly to themselves and to
the national or state PARTY organization
and few leaders for their attitude for
or against laws affecting their con-
stituents and the public.
Window Reporter: Garden seeds
and letters calling attention to them
are very nicely written, but they are
simply a part of the McCleary machine
to catch vOtors IT. is an oasinr thinr to
