St. Peter Herald:
Willie held the cannon cracker
In his fingers to be brave
All there was of Willie never
Can be buried in one grave.
Fergus Falls Journal: James J.
Hill is taking his vacation in Labrador,
but if he has heard what happened to
the antinterger people be is wearing a
smile of satisfaction and saying it is
worth all it cost. He never hoped for
clean sweep.
Redwood Gazette: To Moses E.
Clapp, chairman of the state conven-
ton, must most of the credit be given
for the prevention of a double-headed
state ticket It was his wise rulings,
his firm stand for right, his counselling
for peace and harmony, and his handl-
ing of the leaders, that prevented a
bolt.
St. Cloud Journal: The country
may have controlled the state republi
can convention, but the big cities got
most of the plums. St. Paul secured
the governor and judge of the supreme
court; Minneapolis the lieutenant gov
ernor and judge of the supreme court,
and Duluth, being a trifle more m Oldest,
took one judgeship. The country got
the core.
Morris Tribune: The hero of the
republican State convention was Nose
Clapp. A man who can perform such
a signal service to the party as to pre-
serve unity, man who can command
respect from men who are bound to
rule or ruin, az a man who is made of
the kind of stuff that Nose Clapp is,
deserves and will receive thanks and
more hon. rs at the hands of the Repub-
llcan party.
Minneapolis Journal: The Pioneer
Press, speaking of the republican nomi-
nee for governor, says; He has res
olute force of character which takes
it's own idiomatic forms of expression" !"
1t is to be hoped that among candidates
for governor at least they may remain
peculiarly his own. What may be
described as the Dunn idiomcan hardly
be regarded as a desirable contribu-
tion to polite language.
Albert Lea Enterprise: Mrs. J. G.
Kaiser and son, Melvin of PuyaIlup,
Washington, arrived several days ago
and have been making welcome WIS.,
it at the homes of the formers sisters,
Mrs. w. H. Lowe of this city, and Mrs.
John Walaski, of Geneva, and also her
brother, w. II. Baker of Riceland.
Mrs. Kaiser was one of the early settlers
of Riceland, coming there in 1857, but
later moved to Austin where her hus-
band was engaged in business many
years.
Albert Lea Tribune: The defeat Of
Judges Lovely and Douglas for nomi-
publican state convention is nothing
short of calamity to the people of the
state and. they will realize that fact
when it is too late. The defeat of Mr..
Lovely is especially bitter for his friends
here and those who let PERSONAL spite
run away with what should have been
local pride will have cause to regret the
action, still the triumph of Robert G.
Dunn was a very evil omen.
| Waterville Advance: One of the
Ipernicious and; vicious outgrowths of
the abuse of primary elections is
the voting of democrats at republican
primaries The evil was carried ON tO
an alarming extent in; the recent cam;
| ipaign, especially in large cities and is
manifest and noticeable to all. 1t is 3
fragrant violation of law and worse still
prostitution of political morals fol
which the republicans are to blame
and responsible and an act that ooners
or later must recoil on the heads o1
: those guilty of introducing this party
q destroying practice. y
. Owatonna Chronicle: A peculiar
! coincidence is the remarkable harmon,
and similitude exhibited in the view
l and leanings Of the Pioneer Press an(
Jim HiIls's St. Paul Globe during til,
entire campaign for the nomination o
Q a governor on the republican ticket
The Globe and the, Press have sizet
things up the same way and expressed
u Identical opinions in remarkably iden
J, tical manner. 1t must be an exampl
r OF the saying that great minds NOV
. in the. same direction, perhaps bette
amended to read "under the same di
: rection." &<5, >.ts..:'
Minneapolis Times: Within the pas
q few days Individual members of th
t capitol commission have expressed ap
3 prehension that the many difficulties
which have arisen in securing materia
:. and in the performance Of the struct
t ural work would delay the completion
E of the new building beyond the tim
8 of the legislative session, which will be
ginabout Jan. |. It would be PRACTICAL,
impossible for the legislature to NEE
