Hon. Elihu Root in an address as
temporary chairman Of the National
Republican convention paid this trib-
ute to President Roosevelt: "No peo-
pie can maintain free government who
do not in their hearts value the quail
ties which have made the present pres
ident Of the United States conspicuous
among the men of his time as type
of noble manhood. Come what may
here-come what may in November.
God grant that those qualities of
brave, true manhood shall have honor
throughout America, shall be held
for an example in every home, and
that the youth of generations to come
may grow up to feel that it is better
than wealth, or Office, or power, to
have the honesty, the purity and the
courage of Theodore Roosevelt -

Spuds in Hubbard County.

F. L. Randall & Co. have Just COM
pleted and put in operation their new
potato warehouse. The building is
situated on the Great Northern right
OF way and has every facility for stor-

siderable increase in returns. It is
estimated that this year there are sixty
thousand bushels of potatoes in the
county This is the largest crop Hub
bard county ever produced. The
warehouse has been fully equipped
with frost proof Easements and large
bins and is capable of handling every

The Torrance Animus.

| Judge ELL Torrance of Minneapolis,
has come out in a declaration that he
cannot support Robert c. Dunn for
governor.
With this fact in mind, he counsels
that the party secure new candidate
for the executive Office.
It is unfortunate in this connection
for Mr.. Torrance, that he and his
friends and relatives are known to
have had interests in the beat sugar
manufactures which Mr. Dunn pre-
vented from getting a bounty from the
State.
Judge Torrance lobbied on behalf
of the sugar bounty bill and used
every effort to obtain it's passage. d..
In Mr.. Dunn's action in refusing to
authorize payment of this bounty, he
was upheld by the supreme court of
the State. So !:
Men who have tried, upon one pre-
text or another, to get their hands
into the State treasury, and were
oalked IN their efforts by Mr.. Dunn,
are strong in their opposition to him
now.
Whether or not the beet sugar
bounty was desirable legislation may
be doubtful question, but it was
declared an express violation of the
constitution, and Mr.. Dunn only did
his sworn duty in refusing to allow it.
AS stated the supreme court ap-
proved Mr.. Dunn's action and ruled
that the State had no power or right
to pay this bounty. Thus it is shown
that the more Mr.. Dunn's record is
examined the more fully it appears
that he has been faithful servant of
the people.-Duluth News-Tribune.

The writ of mandamus directed to
the secretary of State to show cause
before the State supreme court why
the name of Calvin L. Brown should
not appear on the State ballot with
the words Republican, Democrat"
after the name, made it incumbent on
the governor to appoint three district
court judges to sit in the case with
Chief Justice Start and Justice Doug
las. The governor appointed Judge
Il. R. Brill of St. Paul, William A.
Cant, Duluth, and F. c.. Brooks of
Minneapolis to act. Justice Brown
was nominated by both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties at the
State conventions, but the secretary
of State holds that under the. provis-
ions OF the election law he is not au-
thorized to make a designation for
both of the political parties for the
same candidate, while the Democratic
State central committee contend that
the secretary of State should make the
designation for both parties. Of the
four candidates who have been nomin-
ated for justices Of the supreme court
three of them affect Justices Brown.
Lovely and Lewis who are conse-
quently disqualified from sitting in
the case by the provisions of an
amendment to the State constitution
adopted in 1876 which provides that
when all or" majority of the judges
of the supreme court shall, from any
cause, be disqualified from sitting in
any case in said court, the governor
shall assign judges, Of the district
court to sit in place of the supreme
court judges. If the governor should

Not Good Reason for Opposing Dunn.

Not Good Reason for Opposing Dunn
Judge Ell Torrance in an interview
evidently prepared with all the care
and elaboration consistent with the
extraordinary violence and intemper-
ance Of its language declares that
There are many reasons why Mr..
Dunn should be Defeated and vet
singularly enough he fails to specify
a single one of these many reasons
except that Of the two a contesting
delegations to the State convention
from Hennepin county the one for
Collins; originally admitted, was I'M
seated to give place to the other,
which was for Dunn. He says this
was done, by violence and fraud''-
which is just about what was charged
by the Dunn delegates against the
Collins men. At any rate the only
tribunal competent to pass upon the
charges and counter charges of the
two delegations and to decide which
OF the two delegations was entitled to
be seated was the convention itself,
and the. convention decided by an en-
phatise, majority that the Dunn delega-
ton was SO entitled to be seated.

Where he finds any resemblance be-.
tween this deliberate action of a re-
gularly constituted convention of Re-
publican delegates and an "old-time
South Carolina returning board'' he
tails to indicate. He says that Hen
nepin county was DISTINGUISHED" by
this action: but if the other delega-
tlon had been excluded they might
with equal reason have claimed that
Hennepin county was disfranchised.
Unless the decision of the convention,
the only tribunal competent to try and
determine such contests, is accepted
as final there would be no end to such
controversies. The decision may, for
aught we know, have been wrong; but
1t was entirely regular, made by the
only competent authority, and by Re-
publicans generally will be, as it
ought to be, accepted as conclusive.
Judge Torrance is equally wide of
the mark when he says that it was by
the unseating of the Collins delega-
ton from Minnea polls that Dunn Sc
cured his nomination. AS a matter of
TACT, as everybody knows except Judge
Torrance. Dunn had a clear and de-
clslve majority of the convention ex-
elusive OF the Collins delegation from
Hennepln county. It was not at all
necessary to his nomination that that
delegation should be unseated. And
the charge that it was unseated to Sc
cure the nomination of Dunn is wholly
inconsistent with the other charge that
| It was unseated because the majority
OF the convention was for Dunn.
BE it remarked that this perverse
distortion of the facts of the Mime
apolis delegate contest is the only
reason presented by Judge Torrance
IN his Incorporate attack upon Dunn
why he should be defeated. The mo-
tive which inspires his desire for
Dunn's defeat is confessedly, there

After Due Comparison.

We have paid pretty close attention
to the different reports of the public
examiner into the conduct of the office
of State auditor under r. C. Dunn's
administration of that Office, and also
Mr.. Dunn's replies to them, and the
more we think about it we are lead to
believe that the State auditor. with
the latitude allowed him in the mat
ter of timber trespass and mineral
leases did more than his predecessors,
for the public interest, and did prac-
tically what Auditor Iverson is doing
in the same office to-day. And that
officer supplements Mr.. Dunn's reply
by statement "that instead of the
State losing through Mr.. Dunn. as
Johnson's report would lead one to
believe, the State was saved many
thousands of dollars through the
alertness& of Mr.. Dunn. ''-Renville
