What the Editors Say

It remained for a Democratic con-
gresham to voluntarily relinquish his
seat in congress upon his discovery
| that fraud had been used in the cam
| pa1gn in which he was elected. The
conscientious member was Representa-
| tive Shafroth Of Colorado. If Repub-
| l1can members were as scrupulous and
| honest as this Democrat, there is danger
that the Republican side Of the house
would become vacant. The Anoka
Free Press.
The Grand Forks Herald points out
| the weakness of the Democratic party
| along certain lines and says that the
| Republicans have shown by the man
ner in which they approached the trust
| question that they are willing to do
| something. The Herald does well to
use the word approached" The Fill
| pinos also approached the American
/ army but they always ran away when
| the struggle came.-Bottineau Courant.
The Sank Center Herald has named
| James Martin, Judge Collins campaign
manager, the Buster Brown Of Min
| neSota politics, and has found that Bob
Dunn's new manager, Charlie Mitchell,
| Is the Happy Hooligan Of Minnesota
| politics. No doubt the Herald is saw
| ing up the title Of Brainy Bowers and
! Simple Simon for the managers-to be
| announced later-of Eustis and Eddy.
I-Wykoff Messenger.
Public Examiner Johnson is about
the best roasted man in Minnesota to-
| day. He seems to have the faculty Of
| doing more prying into affairs and mis-
| representing the facts than any public
examiner we have ever mad. The diff
| ference between Johnson and Pope was
| that Pope was good officer and John
/ &c nUlx
| d1Herence.-St. Peter Herald.
With all due regards to the Judgment
| Of the Albert Lea Tribune, we cannot
| agree that John Lind is entirely lost
| in congress. The fact is that unless
| the Republicans of Minneapolis unite
! on their most popular candidate for
| congress, Minnesota will be charged
| with a Democratic member in one more
| congress.-St. Cloud Daily Journal
| Press.
The secretary finds it convenient to
| pick on Congressman Lind, because he
is a Democrat, and ignore the fact that
| Mr.. Lind was elected by Republican
1 district because he represents Repub-
| lican sentiment of his district as to
| tariff revision and reciprocity. Shaw
| would do anything to conceal the sig
| nificance Of this as a Western symp-
IOIlls-O1OuS lily
! The Lamberton Star says that State
| Superintendent Olsen is making a very
| lively hustle for Collins with the I'M
| derstanding that he be retained for
| another term as superintendent. This
is true Of several other off1cehoIders.
| They all want to, stay in and they
| know they cannot if Bob Dunn is
nominated and elected. = Mortified
| News.
| 1t is an easy matter to name 100
| Democrats who are the peers Of Dunn,
| Collins, Eddy or any other Republican
| who is likely to be nominated by the
| Republicans for governor. Wait till
| the time comes, gentlemen, and we
| will trot out a candidate who is built
| on the principle Of Caesars wife,
4 Fairmopt Sentinel.
| The Goodhue Enterprise thinks 1t a
1 difficult question to find out how many
| papers are on the fence when Is per
| cent of the Republican press are for
] Dunn and 50 per cent are for Collins.
| 1t would take something Of hand al
| figures to solve that problem.-North-
1 field News.
1t is certainly a deplorable state Of
| affairs when men so far forget them
4 d
| dead mans shoes before the man was
/ dead, as was the case with the Ohio
4 politicians for the place of the late
| Senator Hanna.-New Prague Times.
4 1t Is too bad that Judge Collins at
| his age should fall into the hands OF a
1 crowd Of scheming politicians who are
using him simply as an instrument for
| attaining their own ends. II is bound
| to be another case of Old Dog Tray
| Thief River Falls Press.
1 The mud turtle and the catfish now
| breathe easier. The war department
| has obtained a concession that Min
nesota river bridges must be twenty
| feet high. The stream is still 'navi-
| gable.-Jordon Independent.
| This talk about not feeling the cold
| in the climate because 80 dry is all
4 bosh. We have felt the cold very much
| during the last month and have been
| dry the most Of the time, too.-Breck-
| enridge Telegram.
Duluth has made bid for the Re-
1 publican state convention. The city
4 by the unsalted sea is certainly all
/ right, and we believe the convention
| should be held there.-Glencoe Regis
/ ter.
/ The Populists Of Otter Tail county
must be going In for historical society
1 for they have called a county conven-
| ton. They are stickers to say the
| least.-Hawley Herald.
Talk about the Irish in politics Even
| the republican state convention will be
held on St. Patrick's day.-The lie
