What the Editors Say

william Henry Eustis, in his Owa-
tonna speech, gave his reason. for yot-
ing the Republican state ticket
straight. He appealed, not to the yot-
er's intelligence or sense of right, but
simply to party prejudice. Here is
William Henry's utterance: For
Gods sake, vote the ticket straight. /
would rather vote the Republican
ticket and knew I was wrong than
vote the Democratic ticket and know
I was right
The blasphemy was unintentional,
probably, and certainly meaningless,
but the sentiment is about the only
reason that can be given to an intelli-
gent Republican for voting for Dunn
| and Ray Jones.-Dodge County Rec
ord.
Dunn has already started in making
attacks on Candidate Johnson's per-
sonality. 1t is just what we expected
him to do. Knowing that Mrs john
sons public career is unaSsailable, he
resorts to personal abuse and we pre-
sumo, if that fails, he will fall back on
! the umbrella once more. He will have
to conduct a dirty campaign all by
his lonesome, for Mr.. johnson is gem
tieman and does not need to resort to
foul mouthings' and umbrella hit
ting to prosecute his campaign for
the highest office in the state. Dunn
evidently realizes that his prospects of
election are at a very low ebb.-Swift
County Monitor.
1t is well known that in 1892 odds
of as high as to 1 were given on
Harrison as against Cleveland. Yet
Cleveland was elected. 1t was said
that the money bet in that election
against Cleveland, all came from the
Republican national committee. The
professional gamblers were too ShreWd
to put up their own money. The money
that is now being placed at odds of 2
to 1 on Roosevelt probably comes from
the same source To inject this argu-
ment into the campaign can serve no
! useful purpose, but reputable Repub-
lican papers are using it.-Grand Forks
Evening Press.
Thomas d. O'Brien, former Demo-
cratic national committeeman for Min
| nesota, is a candidate for the district
bench in st. Paul. Mr.. O'Brien is well
known in Duluth. He has a much
better outlook for success in his dis
trict than have his fellow party men
on the tickets in less uncertain loeaH-
ties. His personal popularity will con-
tribute. in a large measure, toward his

There is no doubt the Republican
state central committee is in desperate
straits, judging from the way it turns
down its officers and puts new men in
their places. There's an old saying
that the committee seems to have for
gotten all about. 1t is, Never swap
horses while crossing stream" How
ever, if the Republican party can stand
such lightning changes, surely We have
no occasion TO object.-Montevide
Leader.
The people should give that grand
jury constitutional amendment wood
chuck strong blow over the head with
an ak. 1t is a good deal easier for cor
porations to buy one county attorney
than to purchase twelve jurors

When a Prohibition candidate begins
to talk about trusts, he simply reminds
the public that one Swallow cannot
put down the whisky trust.-Butte
