LIND ON VAN. DYKE.
In his speech at Alexandria last
week John Lind said of Cleve Van
Dyke. =. 49,"
I'm Cleve W. VanDyke, the people
Of this district have q candidate for
congress who is able. honorable and
conscientious, and he should receive
the support of every man who believes
in protecting his own best interest.
He is just the age that was when I
was first sent to Congress. He Is
man in whom you may we'll take pride
and this county will undoubtedly
give him splendid vote on November
8th.''

TIME IN WHICH TO VOTE

The attention of voters generally is
called to the time of voting next Tues
day, which is in the city of Little
Falls from 7 clock a. m. to o'clock
p. NJ, and in the country from 9
O'Clock q. m. to 8 O'Clock p. ~. For
the primary election the polls were
open to O'Clock in the evening, and
this is confused some. It must ba re-
member that for the general elecrion
the polls close ut 6 O'Clock in the city
and at 3 in the country.

STILL STANDING BY
= FRIENDS.

The ease with which r. G. Dunn
will sacrifice his friends for his own
advancement was illustrated again
last night in the Lind Peterson de-
bate. says the Minneapolis Journal.
Ex-Sceretary Verify says he can pro-
duoe the agreement in black and
white, if necessary, by which Dunn
pledged his support to Heatwole for
the United States senator in place Of
Clapp.
Last night Governor Lind showed
up the scandalous state Of affairs In
the state land Office during Dunn's
administration. He brought out in
such clear and unmistakable form the
real character OF the transaction by
the ex-auditor clerk in mineral
leases and state lands that when he
suddenly stopped and asked the audi
ence what they would call that kind
of business if it had been done under
Ames administration the response
from the multitude of voices was
Graft p One Of these clerks was on
the platform, present for the purpose
of coaching Mr.. Peterson in his
speech He was Inundated to the
last degree, although it was apparent
enough that what he had done which
met with such severe condemnation
by the audience could not have been
done without the auditor S consent, It
vas expected, Of course, that when
have something in connection with
the mineral leases, and would have
the manliness to include his land
clerks in that defense. But not
word Of defense of the ex-auditor,
while the whole miserable business
was dismissed with lot If hippant
remarks, the purpose Of which was
to throw the whols blame, for trans
actions, which Peterson did not dare
to excuse before that audience, upon
the land clerks and make them a
capegoat for their chief. It was the
coldest and most selfish abandonment
Of ones friends that could be con-
c5ived. But it is of piece with the
throwing down of Heatwole and illus
trates again the readiness with which
Dunn will cast his friends overheard,
if it seems that thereby he can keep
himself from sinking. The incident
has been the subject of much remark
since. Possibly Mr.. Dunn may repudi-
ate Mr. Tsfeferson's action: We shall
zee.

BRIDGE Man TfDF0RD
A Sample incident in
/ Thrifty Bob's
4 Career

A local firm offered to do the work
of moving the old wagon bridge and
setting At up at Ft. Ripley, for about
t270O. An Illinois firm offered to do
it for 5000. This was we'll known to
R. c. Tedford of the county board
We were SO personally informed by
both members Of the local firm. These
two firms never knew, and were
never informed OF the day bids were
to be let for the work. In pursuance
of the common plan cf throwing re-.
sponsibllity on town boards where
possible, the contract was let by the
town bbard of Clough. whose chair
man at that time was a brother of
Commissioner Tedford. A Mime
apolis firm had man on the ground,
however, and he got the job at
81, 900. We do not believe that the
town board is to blame. The CON-
missioner may have 'forgotten' to
tell the "a what other firms were will
ing to receive for the work. We dis
tincs1y remember, and challenge deni-
al. thatstde members Of the local firm
were very angry at that time, and
that thay charged Com missioner Ted
ford with being RESPONSIBLE. Not only
that, hnt one CT the strongest present
day shonters for Tedford also at that
time put the blame for the deal onto
ledford;3 The state appropriated
81, 900 for this bridge, az help in the
rebuilding, and Tedford and su]li van
were the committee TO look after the
expenditure Of the $1,000. Tedford was
active y this bridge proposition, knew
all about it, could, if he had desired,
arrange4 matters SO that the town
board oil Clougb would have received
several bids. and the taxpayers would
not have been swindled. People who
like thaf sort Of thing ought to vote
for Tedford. Others will vote for
Johnsonl
The contractors mentioned above are
A. D. tLon) Harrison and Nels Peter
son. bo:h we'll known in this city.
Their q 1atements were made not only
to tho Hitor Of this paper, but to
many otSers. We have proof. how
ever,. from other sources, that their
staten1snts about Tedford were entire
ly correct.

RECOMMENDATIONS,

Melrose. Minn., Sept. 20, 1904.
To Whom It May Concern
Mr.. Theodore Thielen taught dur
ing my superintendency in Morrison
county number of years.
The character OF his work was
good, and he gave his entire atten-
tion to his school duties. He always
manifested an eager interest to learn
the best methods of teaching a subject
and then apply its principles to local
conditions. Such efforts naturally pro-
duced good results.
He further kept abreast of the times
by complying with the rules of the
Department Of Public Instruction,
viz: Procuring the State Reading
Circle books for professional reading
and subscribing for educational jour-
nails.
Mr. Thielen is an efficient teacher
and a young man of excellent charac.
ter.

A RIDICULOUS ATTACK.

Bob Tedford, who is fearful that
his rotten record will defeat him for
county commissioner, Is telling the
peope that the Herald is against him
because he caused a Herald bill to be
cut down, and the Transcript, with
colossal and characteristic impudence,
publishes the foolishness of it's pet.
In January, 1901, the Little Falls
Printing Co.. publishers of the Herald.
made bid to the county board az
follows:
1.-THE Little Falls Pig. Co.will pub
lish in the Little Falls Herald the
delinquent tax list for the year 1890
for rs cents per folio for the first
insertion and 35.-cents per folio for the
second insertion.''
TEDFORD VOTED TO ACCEPT
THE BID. Under this bid the work
was done and at the March session q
bill In accordance with the terms of
the bid was presented.
1t is we'll known that all the news
papers If the county have now, and
have had for several years, an agree.
ment not to cut prices for legal print
ing below the rate fixed by law, and
all are. interested in the official print
ing Of the county. There is nothing
secret about it; such a agreement has
been decided by the courts to not be q
trust or combine as it does not pre-.
vent anyone from going into the news
paper business and bidding if he 80
desires.
All the papers are Interested, and
Fuller approved the Herald
bid which was made per folio in.
stead ct per description because, ow-
ing to difference in character cf the
delinquent lists, it was thought it
would be legal bio. Because differ.
ent bid was made the year before.
the papers lost great deal which
papers in some other counties got.
However, the bid was accepted.
When the bill was presented. the ques-
tion as to the form and character of
the bid came up. Tedford had no OBJ
lection to the bill whatever, and 80
stated to the writer. There was con-
siderab bic discussion, and the upshot
was that to avoid litigation a compro-
mise was made, the company receiv-
ing much more than if the bid had
been made in another way. but less
than the bill presented. The right to
present bill for the balance was
reserved, and we did present such a
bill, which was rejected.
So far as the Herald was concerned,
its proportion of the last bill was not
large enough to warrant litigation, espe.
cially when there was a technical
legal question involved.
That's all there is to the ''charge,
which, however silly it may be,
does not affect the fact that an honest,
incorruptible man is needed for coun-
tv commissioner, and to have him you
must vote for Andrew johnson.
Every man who believes in honest
government by efficient and honest
men, should vote for Davis. johnson,
and Virni9 for commissioners,
