to the support of his legion of friends.

against one of the most popular re-
publican officials the the county has

date for a second term. 1t is not our
wish to take up any persons candi-
dacy for the nomination, but we think
that Mr.. Klein is entitled to another
whack at the Office, and if nominated
his election will be foregone con-
clusion.

candidate for the nomination by the

trusts, which aim to secure a monopoly
of trade in the necessaries of life as
well in those things that are en-
ployed upon the farm, in the factory and
in many other fields of industry, have
been encouraged and stimulated by eX-
cessive tariff duties. These operate to
furnish a substantial market in the ne
cessities of $4,000, 600 of people by practi-
cally excluding competition. With so
large a market and highly remuneratfve
prices continuing long after the line OF
possible competition would naturally be
reached by the temptation of all en-
gagged in the same business to combine
so as to prevent competition at home and
a resulting reduction of prices, has proved
irresistible in number of cases All
men must agree that the net result OF en-
acting laws that foster such inequitable
conditions is most unfortunate for the
people a whole, and it would seem as
if all ought to agree that the effective
remedy would be to appropriately modify
the offending law The growth OF mo-
nopoly, of which complaint is justly
made, cannot justly be laid at the doors
of the courts of this country. The de-
cisions OF the supreme court of the United
States, the court of appeals of this state
and the court of lasti-esort in many other
states warrant the assertion that the
common law as developed affords COM
plete legal remedy against monopolies
The fact that they have multiplied In
number and increased in power has been
due, not to the failure OF the courts to
apply the law when properly moved By
administrative officials private indf-
yiduals but to the failure of officials
charged with the duty of enforcing the
law to take the necessary procedure to
procure the judgments of the courts In
the appropriate jurisdiction, coupled with
the fact that the legislative departments
OF some of our state governments as well
as congress in the manner already re-
fsIred to, have by legislation encouraged
| tzir propagation. What Il needed. In

Candidate

Hon. Aslie ]. Gronna, the re-
publican nominee for represent
alive to congress, was born on a
farm in Clayton county, Iowa,
December 18th, 1858. He NOV
ed with his parents to Houston,

to manhood and received his edu-
cation working on his fathers

graduating from the academy of
Caledonia. He taught school in
Houston county in 1879, and from
there went to Moody county,
South Dakota, where he was en-
gagged in the profession of teach
ing school for a season. The
subject Of our sketch migrated
to North Dakota in 1880. and To-
Gated in Buxton, Trail county,

camille business, coming to La

purchased a general mercantile
business here. He served as re-
preventative in the last territor-
ial legislature, and has served as
president Of the board of trus-
tees Of the village of his home
town and was elected to two
terms on the board Of education

he was chosen chairman of the
Republican county central COM
mittee and managed the cam
paign SO successfu lly that he was
reelected chairman Of the same
organization for the campaign of
1904 without a single dissenting
voice. Mr.. Gronna is just en-
tering the best years Of his life,
He has made success OF all his
numerous business ventures,
having in seventeen years built
up a large and extensive ner-
camille business that at once
stamps him a man Of ability in
the commercial world. His HON
esty and integrity is beyond re-
proach; such are the qualifica-
tions that go to make the man
