When it comes to a fight between
Hartman and Rockefeller against Mr..
James j. Hill, we are with Mr.. Hill
every time. Mr.. HilPs work in up
building the great Northwest should
never be forgotten by those who reside
mere and they should give him their
united support in keeping out two of
the most pernicious kings of monopoly
that have been born into this world

Well said. The above has the true
ring. AS between the Standard Oil

What can longer be expected of a
party when 1t has ceased to express
the real sentiments of it's members?
Minnesota Republicans as individuals
are tariff reformers. and do not hest
tate to say so in private conversa-
ton. They call it reciprocity, or the
Iowa 1dea," or whatever they choose,
but the fact remains that in private
life they cannot longer defend the rad
zeal high protective policy which is
now the law. Nevertheless, they stifie
their views when they go to conven-
tons, and continue to adopt resolutions
that they do not half 4believe.-Morris
Times.
The earnest and vigorous support
given William H! Hearst for the Dem
ocratic nomination for president by the
Republican press indicates that some
thing easier than Judge Parker is
needed for Roosevelt. In return the
Democratic press might urge the NOM
inatiOn of Tommy Plat, whose barrel
Is about the size of Hearst's; but with
single care for the nations honor, it
is safer to advocate the nomination of
men whose election would not be a
public disgrace. We want the best
possible candidates on both Sides

Congressman Stevenson wants it
known that he is from Minnesota, and
when the Congressional Record had it
that Hon. Halvor STEVENSON, of New
York had delivered a speech on the
postal bill he asked to have it cor
rected, very modestly remarking that
there is not a member from New
York who could make a speech like
that" That's right Let the world
| know that Minnesota is a state from
which orators cOme.-Walker Pilot.
Over a thousand men met a few days
ago at Minneapolis to elect four dele
gates at large to the Republican con-
ventiOn at Chicago and they got so
| completely befuddled with uncOrked
political enthusiasm that they allowed
a bakers dozen of those Twin City pol
iticians to name the delegates and then
adopt set of tariff resolutions as
| meaningless as the mouthings of an
African monkey. IF this be treason"
etc. Still it's true.-Madison Independ-
| ent-Press.
Senator Shoots case will not be de-
cided until after election, because his
expulsion from the senate, which is
controlled by the political party to
which he belongs, might cause Utah to
go Democratic at the coming presiden-
tiaI election. No doubt the situation
is far from pleasing to our Republican
friends, but politics are politics, and
paramount to either decency or justice
-Wahasha Herald.
Here's a prediction. John Lind will
not in any way, shape or manner, in
terfere with the selection of Demo-
cratic delegates in Minneapolis. The
battle in Hennepin county will be
fought without him mixing in it
