What the Editors Say

His retirement will be a great loss
20 the Democratic party on the one
hand and the people of the North
west on the other. AS Democratic
leader, he was tower of strength.
Whatever he did was done for the well
rare OF the party and not for his own
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, as so often is
the case with political leaders. As one
OF Mlnnesota'S congressman at Wash
1ngton, he has worked indefatigably in
the interests of the state. He has done
more in the eighteen months at the
capital than others have done in
much longer period. AS governor of
the state, he gave a good, honest adj
mIn1stration, and during his term of
office some good reforms were carried
through. He was no f1gurehead. He
spent his time in the state for the state.
He did not go gallivanting through
other states making after dinner
speeches for the sole purpose of having
a good time and to gain notoriety, like
his successor. Politicians of Lind's
caliber are of inestimable value to both
their party and country. Lind's retire
ment is therefore to be greatly regret
ted, but We hope pressure will be
brought to bear on him to reconsider
his decision.-Swift County Monitor

the eloquent speech of John Lind he

AS the eloquence of Bryan stampeded
the Chicago convention in his favor
and to an Endorsement of his free sill

insane idea, so the eloquence to Lind

Hearst and ti-Hearst-instructio
and no instructions. Those were the
questions at issue and the splendid
army of over 1000 men lined up for ac-
ton was nearly equally divided. The
followers of the New York congress-
man captured the temporary organiza-
ton, but with the aid of the magical
name of John Lind and the superb tao
tics of the anti-Hearst leaders the tide
was turned and delegates at large elect

for the good of the party, as their best
judgment may dictate.-Fairmont Sen
