What the, Editors Say


to the election of r. C. Dunn.
Another candidate is fully as deep in
the mire as Dunn is in the mud-we
| refer to Congressman Buchanan. He IS
of the pine lumber ring, and was one
of the strongest and most active sup
porters of Dunn. He is a known tres
pasSer upon the states timber-it is
not known that he has fully settled
therefor. In the campaign for the gu
bernatorial nomination, he used every
influence as congressman over federal
off1eeholders to secure support for
Dunn and against Collins.
Every argument against Dunn is an
argument against Buchanan, and every
vote cast against Bob" should also be
thrown against Buck and for that
man of high character and unblemish-
ed eputation-Cleve w. Van Dyke
ST Cloud Times.
Ex-Gov. Lind, in his St Paul speech,
last Tuesday evening, showed by the
records that one of Bob Dunn'S mis-
takes. wherein he wrongfully turned
over to the Duluth & Iron Range rail-
road $4,000 acres of state land, cost
the state about $4,000 to get the land
back. He also showed by the records
and the law that the statement by Mr..
Dunn, in regard to the Buchanan set
tlement for timber stolen, was not
true. Mr.. Dunn alone, by the law and
in practice, was the official with whona
settlements were made by trespassers.
Mr.. Linds statements and the laws and
records which he quotes makes Mr..
DunnS case worse several times over
than it was before. Trying to smirch
the character of John Lind is not a
like Bob Dunn.-Waseca County Her

There is a legitimate argument that
Labor Commissioner ODonnell might
have used that would have been more
sensible and more effective in his re-
port on the employment of boys and
girls in slaughter houses. Boys and
girls of tender" years should be in
school instead Of at work in slaughter
| houses and factories. There are men
enough to do the labor of the world
| without placing children at work where
their health is endangered and their
| mental and physical growth hampered.
If such are the conditions in slaughter
houses of the state, Commissioner
| ODonneH should make the facts
known. But if he makes any progress
| in abolishing such evils it will be
| through the use Of more sense and less
| Of foolish and unreasonable sentiment.

Editor Verify, of the Wadena Trib-
une, shows unnistakable signs of being

sees fit to reproduce bunch of COM
ments from the knockers in his last

! that Mr.. Heatwole has displayed, and
stand by the guns. Certainly Mr..

has the Northfield misunderstanding
