THE STATE TICKET.

Stevens County is one of the small counties
aof the state, and is entitled to only nine dele
gates in the Republican state convention. Those
nine delegates only small number in the
total of over a thousand who will meet in st.
Paul next week to nominate state officers and
formulate a state PLATFORM yet they are not too
small number to count in the total OF
those who are seeking to nominate the right
men, and adopt the right platform.
The matter of paramount Importance to the
Republicans land Democrats of Stevens county
is the denomination of G. L. Brown to the
supreme bench, Delegates should be instructed
to use every honorable means to this end. 1t is
"a pleasure to know that during the six years
fudge Brown has been on the supreme bench,
he has come to be regarded of the strong
men of the bench. That he will be nominated
seems to be foregone conclusion
The Republicans of this county were
strongly in favor of Van SAINT and the platform
of two years ago declaring against the merger
They wish to see the declarations of that year
adopted again this year. and also which to
Van SAINT congratulated for the campaign which
he started against the merger, which finally
<5uted in the dissolving of the Northern Securi-
Hies Co. They believe that the nominee this
year shonld be who stands and has
stood squarely on the platform of two years ago.
This condition is fulfilled by Collins, Eddy, Van
SAINT, and Eustis, but the personal pro-
ference of the majority of the Republicans of
the county is for Collins.
The Republicans here are also favorable in
clined to the candidacy of E. T. Young, of Swift
county,for attorney general, and of Ezra Valen-
tine, of Breckenridge, for member of the rail-
road and warehouse commission.
One of the concomitant blessings of a cool
summer is the comparative rarity of violent
windstorms The tornado crop this year has
been remark ably light one all over the country
and in Minnesota there has hardly been a wind
storm worthy of report. In ST Paul there have
so far been no violent winds. This repeats
the experience of 1902 and 1908, in both of
which there remarkably cool summers
They not entirely free from storms, but
remember that was particularly severe.
In 1902 the maximum temperature on any day
during the whole summer was 88 and last year
co. This year 80 has not yet been reached. In
1901 when the unprecedented temperature of
ICCCrtiei
years when there many days which
the temperature ran into the nineties, wind
9 storms were frequent. The connection between
extremes of temperature and windstorms is not
matter of coincidence, but is clearly causal |
since areas of high temperatures rule |
comparatively restricted and induce cyclonic |
circulation through natures efforts to restore |
atmospheric equilibrium. In this connec-
ton it may be said that the period of violent
windstorms in this region seems to come to an
end about the third week in July, so that if cool
and equable temperatures prevail for another
month those who dread these atmospheric
&antrums be reasonably we'll assurec of |
