What the Editors Say

In the contest OF Buckman-F0ster
the Times never doubted but what
Buckman would beat his opponent in
Wright county, but did not look for
the landslide which occurred. He
carried the county by nearly 1000, and
the district by 1900 or more. The
people hate a gutter, and we said in
these columns two years ago, after
Foster had given up the contest, that
| 1T looked suspicious and that the
people would never nominate him.
Buchanan is weak nan-morally and
intellectually. The only excuse for his
nomination was that he should be Civ
en- reelection. Buchanan stands for
W tax on lumber, the tariff on trust
made goods, and every species Of tax
which helps the rich corporations and
| robs the masses. But as we have said
before, the people enjoy this blessing
+; and why shouldn't they have enough
| of it. If they want to vote for one

Who is H. C. Nelson. some of the
Republican Tawney organs Of this
district are Sneeringly asking. Let US
reply. He is an American citizen, who
has served from Freeborn. county as

/ q practical farmer by occupation and
farms not by tenant but with his own
hands. He believes that lumber and
coal and all trust controlled products
should be placed on the free list, and
| if elected to congress he will vote his
convictions. We believe that it is
more logical that the great agricul-
/ tural interests of this district should
be represented by a farmer than by
4 the attorney for the lumber barons.-

OF course the state ticket which the
| Democrats have presented, and which
honorable and fit, doesn't stand a
| ghost of a show to be elected without
Republican help. No Democrat can be
/ elected to a state office in Minnesota
/ unless he receives the support of many
| thousands of Republican votes, and in
| that case it would not be partisan or
Democratic victory. but a victory of
| the people in rebuke of corrupt poll
tics and forced nomination of unfit
candidates on the Republican ticket

4 1t seems that we are not to hear the
i melodious voice of Van SAINT in this

states. Well. after the contemplate
reports of his public examiner it is
know that anything good he might

time and again. He will not be missed.
