Company G Goes Into Camp.

Company G started Tuesday morn

practice at Camp Lakeview, at Lake
City. A special detail of five left on
Monday IN charge of Quartermaster
Sergeant johnson with the camp
equipment. The boys arrived in camp
Tuesday afternoon and will be in
camp for ten days. Thirty EIGHT mem

charge OF Capt. Galley and First Lieu

where special coach was in waiting
and was attached to the regular morn
ing passenger. Several members of
the company expected to take the train
at points en- route to camp. AS the
train pulled out the boys were given
hearty parting cheers by the crowd at
the depot which was present to Wit

Good Word for Judge Searle.

The World is not one whit behind its
many contemporaries in its admira.
tion for Judge Searle, nor in it's rec.
ignition of his fitness for the place,
but we would not do anything that
might place him in an embarrassing
position. We will say, however, that
we would take pleasure in supporting
Judge Searle if he was a
candidate, and would certainly sup.
port him if the Republican State con
vention should see fit to name him for
the position. If the position was
offered him without solicitation we dc
not see how he could we'll decline it.
The Office is an honorable one, to
which any jurist in the State might
aspire, and if it came to one without
effort or work of any kind there is
probably no lawyer in the State who
would refuse. Staples World.

Special Train for State Convention.

Arrangements are being made for
running a special train down to St.
Paul the afternoon before the State
convention. The train will start from
Mora early in the afternoon and will
probably leave Princeton about five
O'Clock arriving at St. Paul about
supper time. Princeton will send
down a delegation of over 200 while
Milaca and Mora report that there
will be big delegations from those
points who are anxious to be on the
ground early to shout for the Prince
ton candidate for governor. It is ex-
pected that many will join the party
at Zimmerman, Elk River and Anoka.
The special train will cost over $500
and this amount will be raised by
the citizens of Princeton and adioin-
ing towns who desire to make the trip
and be on hand at State convention
time. Further announcements regard
ing the running of the train will be
made next week.

Treason in StearnS.

The editor of the St. Cloud J Journal
Press, who by the way is the political
sponsor Of Judge Collins, is greatly
exercised over the fact that Judge
Searle, also of St. Cloud. is being
urged by the State press of Minnesota
for position on the supreme bench.
He regards it as treason to Stearns
county. Judge Searle can be nomin-
ated without the vote of Stearns
county, and if the Journal Press editor
can keep his home delegation from
stampeding to the judge where is the
treason. Latest reports from Stearns
county would indicate that Editor
Eastman has good grounds for alarm.
Not that they love Collins less but
that they love Searle more. While
the Sixth judicial district would be
greatly pleased with Judge Searle's
elevation to the supreme bench it
would regret to lose the service of SO
able a jurist.-Alexandria Post News.

Want to Quit,

Judge Collins is most unfortunate
in being merely a tool in the hands of
the present administration which is
determined to continue itself in power
ii it has to besmirch the character OF
every man in Minnesota in order to
do it. To this end it has used and is
still using the Office Of public examiner
OF the State as a political bludgeon.
Through the public examiner the ad-
ministration has started a campaign
of villifcation which it still continues.
meanwhile crying out because the good
name of Judge Collins has been drag
ged in the dirt. No wonder the
friends of Judge Collins want to quit.

throughout the State will turn out to

In Cass county the Collins support
ers have issued an illegal call for a
county convention based on the vote
cast for Governor Van SAINT at the
last election. The Republican State
committee expressly provided that the
basis of representation should be the
vote cast for Mckinley in 1900. The
regulars have issued call on the
authorityo of a majority, of the Repub-
lican county committee based on the
vote cast for President Mckinley. If,
as is claimed by the Minneapolis
journal and other subsidized organs
of Mr.. Collins, Cass county is solid
for the "dignifed little judge why
resort to such disreputable tactics?
A big majority Of the voters of Cass
county favor r. C. Dunn and the boz
gus county convention was called for
the sole purpose of sending contest
ing delegation to the State convention.
