What the Editors Say


tainly encouraging to the Democrats,
as it is the East where the presiden-
tiai contest is to be fought out. In
the West the people have all become
enthuSed with the cowboy glamor of
Roosevelt and his alleged trust bust
ing qualities. In the East he is pic
tured as a man in the library, while
here in the West he is pictured as the
man on horseback with a gun on his
shoulder, a sword in his hand, dressed
in the picturesque uniform of the
rough-rider Of the plains. This ticlkle5
our fancy and fires the Western heart
So that we in Minnesota are going to
pile up for him 100000 majority. In
the East these pictures do not have the
firing up effect.-Wright County Times.
One of the most remarkable reasons
put forth by the Republicans why they
want the next congress is that they
must provide a government for the
Panama canal zone when the canal is
completed. This is a huge joke, too
large almost to be comprehended.
when the canal is completed is one
of those indefinite expressions which
means anything or nothing. When the
rivers run dry, when the moon forgets
to wax and Wane; when ones mother
in-law becomes an angel. The chief
engineer of the big canal prudently
refuses to say how long it will take to
build the big ditch. If this generation
lives to see it completed it will be the
longest lived general ton known to his
tory.-Wright County Times.
The Republican candidate, Hon. R. G..
Dunn, owes his prominence in the po-
Htical world wholly and absolutely to
the interest he has always taken in the
cause OF the people, and his record is
such that in the past it has been the
main staff upon which the Republican
party of the state has depended for its
issues.-Elk River Star (Rep.)
The interest he has always taken in
the cause of the people" has been in
yestigated and reported upon (by Re
publican officials) and no matter how
much Mr.. Dunn may be esteemed per-
sonally, the cause Of the people"
should stand paramount to all else

The Republican organs show great
zeal in telling the people that the
drift of plutocracy toward Judge
Parker is still in evidence while the
fact is the drifting is, as it always has
been, toward the Republicans. Here is
Mr.. e. III. Hartman, president Of the
Union Pacific, just returned from
abroad, saying that me one wants the
Republicans out" George Gould, who
controls the Missouri Pacific, testifies
his confidence in the administration,
and Henry C. Frick, of the steel trust,
says that Roosevelt has earned the.
