down newspaper property in New
York city, his finish was predicted,
and the wise ones stated he would
pour the millions he had inherited
down a rat hole but he built it up
and made it pay him princely in
come. The old democratic leaders
in New York gave him congress-
ional nomination thinking to break
his growing political power by a
defeat or meager plurality but he
was elected by the largest majority
ever given a democratic candidate
for congress in the city. The cap
italists in the democratic ranks are
not so much afraid of him as they
are of Bryan because he is heavy
capitalist himself, while the Bryan
democrats would rally to his sup
port as they would to no other man
except Bryan himself. The organ
lied workmen of the country, as
against German, Parker, Cleveland,
Hill or Olpey would almost solidly
support Roosevelt, but Hearst
would give him the fight of his life
to get an even share. Hearst may
be "yellow" journalist but there
is whole lot of "yellow" people
in this country. He is radical and
there are plenty of radical voters.
He is fighter and the people love
a warrior. We do not believe that
Hearst, or any man living, can de-
feat Roosevelt this year, but it
should be borne in mind that there
is opposition enough in the country
to defeat the republican party if it
can be united and Hearst will and
can come nearer uniting it than any
other man. There is nothing so
in politics as underesti-
mating the strength of the opposi.

WILLIAM r. HEARST.

That Theodore Roosevelt will be
the nominee of the republican party
for the presidency is as certain as
anything earthly can be but there is
not SO much certainty about the
man that the democrats will pit
against him in the race. We be-
lieve that the man whose name
stands at the head of this article,
William r. Hearst, will be the
democratic candidate. We do not
believe he is the best man in the
democratic party, or that he is in
the same class as statesman as
many democrats that might be
named but the logic of events
points to his selection. We do not
believe that there lives a democrat
who can defeat Roosevelt in the
next election but we do believe tina,
Hearst will come nearer doing il
than any other, and those republi
can leaders who treat his candidacy
slightingly and the papers who seem
to find it humorous will wake ny
some day and find that they have
made mistake. He is man who
does things and SO far he has made
a success of everything he has tried
to do. When he purchased rur

Why Russia Seeks Korea.

WHY nOSSi1 SOShS hOI ca.
The reason for Russia's persistent
aggression toward Korea must be
sought in her commercial interests.
Russia desires Korea in order to open
a way by land to seaports which shall
be open the year round. Neither
Vladivostok nor Dalny nor Port Ar
thur are such ports. The very i'm
provements at Dalny have made it
easier for the sea to freeze up. AT
enormous expense, Russia has almost
completed railroad across Asia, only
to find herself with its termini in win
ter-locked harbors. To find an open
harbor. Russia must either take pos
session, in China, of some harbor,
as far south as Chefu, or she must take
possession of Korea as far south as
Chemulpo. Russia's only heed of
Korea is military and commercial.
She does not need Korea as an outlet
for her surplus population. She does
not need the mines of Korea, nor does
she need any power which might come
from the accession of the Koreans to
the Russian throne. She needs an out
let. Russia is by reason OF the very
expenditures she has made in Man
churia, more determined than ever to
be free to find open access to the
waters of the Pacific OCEAN From

Sloat Fassett, in the American

LET THE PEOPLE SELECT.

The office of governor of Mime
sofa, or any other state, is purely
an honorary one. No man can hon
estly, faithfully and crcditably adj
minister it for two or four yeals
without being poorer financially
than he was when he took the posi-
ton. That it's a distinguished hon.
Or to be chosen chief executive of
great state goes without question.
Organization to secure position is
Unsuitable and even commendable
if such organization is voluntary on
the part of the organizers and the
bills are not paid by the candidate,
or by those interests, who would be,
or they think they would be bene-
fitted by his success. When inter-
ested parties furnish candidate
cash to carry on his campaign and
after election he doesn't favor them
he is guilty, morally, of obtaining
money under false pretences. If
he does favor them he obtains the
Office from the voters Under false
pretences. In either case it is a
disreputable performance. The
honor of being governor consists Of
being the voluntary choice of ma
jority of the voters of the party to
which the candidate belongs and
the voters should be allowed to
make free and untrammeled choice
without any undue influence being
exerted. Whena man is thus Sc
lected he will be governor of the
people selected by them because
they want him. Chosen in any
other manner there is no credit or
honor i'll the position. When con-
ditions exist, as they do now in this
state, where the republican nomin-
alton is equivalent to an election,
the temptation is very great to Sc
cure it by any means so long as it
can be secured and hence we have
headquarters, managers, press.

phernalia of politics instituted and

of it. But, as stated in a former
letter, the principal business of the
democrats at this session is the
manufacture of campaign material,
and in this mileage matter they per-
ceived an excellent opportunity to
produce an article of this character.
They counted noses and saw that
the republicans could out-vote them
on the question, so they concluded
to support the motion to strike out
the mileage appropriation, thus
placing themselves ON record in OBJ
position thereto, and at the same
time drawing this extra pay. The
republicans saw through this
scheme and voted solidly with them.
Now, if you want to see an angry
lot of democrats they can be found
in the Hobbies of the different h otels,
and more than one member of the
side of the house stated to your COL
respondent that his side has made
mistake in assuming that the repub-
llcans were more eager for this ex-
ira compensation than the demo-
Gratis, most of whom "need the
money" They now realize that
cheap demagogey does not pay them

$3.50 to the people must rest

it in its power to make the appro-
priation.

of Austin, Minnesota, are here on

of the third district.
On Monday Senator Morgan con-
cluded his ssremarks" in criticism
of the administration of the Par
anna policy. much to the relief of
those senators who believe in less
talk and more business. Some day
perhaps the Senate will realize that
the so-called senatorial courtesy
which permits loquacious members
to monopolize valuable time in USE
less talk, is discourtesy to members
who are anxious to accomplish
something for the people. Then
there will be limit to debate, such |
as now prevails in the house.

CHEAP POLITICS.

There a is certain class of seven
by nine politicians in this state that
is taking the advantage of the un'
bounded popularity of President
Roosevelt to secure little cheap
notoriety for themselves. They
make vague reference in the press
and from the platform to, some
deep, dark, dank, undetermined plot
to send delegation from this state
that will be opposed to him. They
throw out covert illusions that
Pleading republicans are secretly
plotting against him and insinuat-
ingly assert that it is the duty of
the republicans to send dyed in the
wool Roosevelt men to the national
convention as delegates and that
that is the kind of men they are.
The facts are, and any one with
two grains of political sense is con-
versant with them, that Theodore
Roosevelt will be the nominee of
the republican party for president
just as surely as he lives until the
convention is held. No other name
will be presented to the convention
and he will be selected by acclama-
ton. Senator Hanna could not
come within a thousand miles of
the nomination if he wanted it and
he would not take it if he could get
it unanimously. He is man noted
for his hard sense. He is old,
broken in health and no one knows
better than he that he could not live
six months and undergo the extra
ordinary strain that is daily and
hourly entailed upon the chief exc
cutive of this nation. He would
much rather be live United States
Senator than a dead President. No
one in the republican party in this
state is opposed to the re-nomina-
ton of the President. 1t would be
the political death knell of any man
in public life to vote against him in
convention. Manifestly the proper
thing for the republicans of this
state to dc is to send her most
prominent men to the national con-
vention. Men of such national re-
pute that the multitudes that assem-
BILE there will know that Minnesota
is represented there before the roll
is called. Send men whose faces
will constitute living chart of the
political influence this great state
exercises in the councils of the ma
ton. Tyros have their place in
politics, but their place is not at a
national convention. We want
men there who have made their
regulations not those who have
them to make. This is the class of
men that the republicans of Min
nesota should select as delegates to
the national convention and send
the little men who are trying to
soar into eminence by hanging on
to the coat tails of Theodore Roose
welt bowling to their holes. 1t has
been a matter of surprise to many
that only the lilliputians in poll
tics have been able to discover this
s'conspiracy" against the President,
but the people should remember
that "where the lion feeds the jack
ais always gather"
