Good News to Voters.

The Window Reporter, one of the best
known republican newspapers in the Sec
ond district, has this to say of the con-
gressional candidacy of Herbert j. Mill
er: ''This will be good news to the thous-
ands of voters in the district who de-
sire representative and candidate who
represents the liberal tariff ideas of the
people as well as one known to be in
sympathy with the general trend of SEN
timent on public questions in the dis
trict. Mr.. Miller's record as state sena-
tor is not forgotten, and the people who
believe in honesty in public affairs will
gladly come to his support. The record
Senator Miller made in the legislature is
evidence that there will be something
doing at the old congressional stand
when he gets to Washington. Mr.. Mill
er's ability to do something for the peo-
pie will consist of more than sending
garden seeds and writing letters. He is
a worker, he is indefatigable in what
ever duties he undertakes, is a resident
of the district, where he has made his
home for more than twenty years, where
he has by hard work and industry, in
telligent foresight and integrity, built
up a comfortable business. He is
identified with every interest in this dis
trict, because he is identified with indus
try and thrift. As legislator he is
known to be incompatible, pure and
clean. His work in the legislature has
stood the test of criticism and fight,
and there he was always on the side of
the people and against the encroach-
ments of corporate interests. The re-
publicans will consider themselves for
tunate in having a candidate who has
nothing to explain, nothing to take
back, nothing to apologize for, nothing
to regret"
From every section come the reports
that Mr.. Miller's candidacy is very fav-
orably received. The newspapers gen.
orally are giving Mr.. Miller strong sup
port, because of his views on public
questions.
The Worthington Advance testifies to
Mr.. MilIer's fitness to properly represent
the people in congress: Senator Mill
er of Luverne and editor of The Rock
County Herald announces himself a can
didate for congressman from the Second
congressional district to succeed T. j.
McCleary, whose term expires this year.
Mr.. Miller arrived at this conclusion af
ter considerable persuasion of his many
friends about the district He has the
unanimous support of his home county.
The people there have always stood by
him in his business and political life,
which is able testimony of his standing
in that county. He has been state sena
tor for two. successive terms, and was
prominent in all legislative matters. This
to a large degree fits him for more USE
fulness in congress than man with
out any experience along this line. He
is a good, clean man, privately, publicly
and politically, in every way reference
can be made to him, and from all indi
cations Mobiles county will give him lib
eral, if not its solid, support, with en-
phasis on the solid"
And there is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Miller will receive handsome
support from Republicans in Blue Earth
county. Hundreds of republicans in Blue
Earth county have taken most kindly to
the idea of tariff revision, and they. pro-
pose to assist in the nomination for con-
gross of gentleman who will carry orr
their views in this respect.
