Dunn Paper Offers to Make Eddy Gov
ernor In 1903 Country Press Believes
Dunn VIII Need United Party Support
to Win. ~ 81 ssss$s
The Renyille Star-F Farmer propounds
some questions for A. II. Anderson OF
Sacred Heart one Of the house members
coming up for re election, which Will
probably be asked of many an aspirant
for legislative honors this fall. Editor
Reid says:
An anxious public is waiting to learn Mr.. An
aerson views on several matters OF Importance
that Will COME before the next legislature for
consideration, three Of which are: The extern
sion OF the primary election law to all state
Offices, his preference for United States sena-
tor. to- be elected next winter, and his ideas on
an equitable system of taxation, whereby the law
can be 50 amended to catch the tax dodger.
II the people would get all that's coming to them
from a member Of the legislature they should
know his viewston public questions before they
elect him. and then nail him to his creed SO de-
clared If elected. Sr% .s
JoeIsP. Heatwole still refuses to- give
Senator Clapp any credit for averting
hostllltles at the state convention. He
says that beyond preserving order, the
chairman's services toward the mainten-
ance OF harmony were very small, as the
leaders Of the factions settled things for
themselves. The only important ruling
ne made was on the right iof a delega-
ton to vote on it's own contest, and on
this point Mr.. Heatwole claims that the
senator was at first inclined to give them
q vote He says in the Mortified News:
He sought from the first to evade and not to
Incur responsibility. To speak of his handling
the leaders Is absurd. His main object when
he realized that the convention might become a
for himself, and in considering the dilemma in
which he found himself he almost literally sweat
blood. With him the chief consideration was to
bring the convention to- an end without giving
any one cause to criticize him and thus imperil
his own chances of reelection to the senate
That this was accomplished was not due
| altogether to what Mr.! Clamp did. said or ad-
vised, but must in all fairness be largely attrib-
uted !. the leaders, It vas not that the chair
cause they made suggestions and advised him.
1t Is an open secret that senator after senator,
friends OF Mr.. Dunn We're sent to Mr.: ,Clapp to
inspire him with courage to stand firm for a
policy OF fairness and justice.
The Ortonville Herald Star offers q
lump Of sugar to the Eddy men to induce
them to be good. Editor Whiteman says:
Eddy Is to continue editorial work on his news
are made by Frank or his friends he viii be the
republican candidate for governor four years
/ from now. The Herald Star Will support him in
1 pAeAeleHce 10 any Otner man IN the state.
Now If the Herald Star editor could
only convey a similar guarantee from
100000 other republicans, we would have
It all fixed up for 1905. But four years is
1 q long time to wait
