The project to establish a wheat
terminal on an immense scale at Kan
sas City, will be a radical departure
in the grain shipping industry of the
northwest. It will divert part of the
wheat shipments to the gulf via Kan
sas City and will simply afford the
western grain world an additional
outlet. Under present conditions
traffic is often congested to the great
detriment to the grain and milling
business of the northwest. More facil-
tiles for doing business. the more bus
mess will be done. More outlets and
channels for trade and traffic, the
more trade and traffic.

peace, for the information and benefit
OF the general public, we can assure
him lin on behalf Of the country press,
that the rural editor has seen so much
OF this yellow journalism that he long
ago ceased to be misled by it, when
he reads such yarns in certain of the
twin city, papers especially the Min
neapolis Journal and Times and the
st. Paul Dispatch. He simply knows
that they are unreliable and fabrica-
tions intended to mislead the public.
Of course it will be just as we'll if Mr..
Hamlin, at intervals of ten days or
two weeks gathers up the accumulated
crop of yarns and brands them as
mendacious fiction, but he will be
wasting his time if he deals with them

LOCAL POLITICAL COMMENT,

George 81. Wyman of Anoka filed
this week for representative in this
district.
Geo. W. Mcclure of Milaca came
down yesterday and filed for register
of deeds. He severed his connection
with the Foley Bean Lumber Co. yes
terday and says he is now looking for
another job.

vention in Minneapolis this week con-
sisted of j. NJ. Stowe of Foreston. J.

of Southshore and Andrew Umbe-
hooker of Princeton.
The question was raised in the
county auditors Office the other day
as to the time liimt for fling for the
primary election. County Auditor
Whitney had consulted the county at
torney who stated that the proper con-
structlon Of the law was that filings
could be made up to midnight of
August the 31st, but some held to the
opinion that the time for fling would
expire at midnight on the 3Oth. The
law says that candidates shall file at
least twenty days before the primary
election which occurs on September
10th. County Auditor Whitney in
order to fully satisfy himself and
many who did not agree with him
called up the attorney generals Office
Tuesday and he was informed that
the ruling in that office was that a
candidate could file up to midnight
OF the 3lst day of August and be safe
within the limit of the law.

An application has been made to the
village council to open a saloon in
the Wikeen & Larson building. oppo-
site the depot and the matter will be
heard at a special meeting of the vii
lage council to be held on the evening
Of September Sth. An attempt was
made last year to start saloon in
this building but the council was op-
posed to the proposition. The matter
is before the council again and it is to
be hoped that the application will not
be granted. There are many reasons
why saloon should not be allowed
in that part of town. Moral and po-
lice regulation considerations alone
are sufficient to justify a most vigor-
Gus protest against granting the Ii
cense. The location is in a residence
section Of town, is at a point directly
opposite the passenger station and
the building occupies the most con-
spicuous corner in town by which all
travel in and out of Princeton via
railroad must pass. It is in the GEN.
ter of the potato and grain market of
Princeton and is removed many
blocks from police surveillance. Here
is a matter in the discussion and con-
sideration of which the public welfare
outweighs all personal considerations.
The public interests first, last and all
the time. The U nj on does not believe
there is a member of the council of
this village who desires to place him
self in opposition to public sentiment,
and public sentiment is dead against
permitting assaloon in that part of
town.

Stands High at Home,

Hon. Aug. T. Koerner, former State
treasurer, says: II think that Robert
@. Dunn of Princeton will be elected
governor of Minnesota next NOvem-
Der easily, Mr.. Dunn is an unusually
popular candidate in the country dis
tricts and among the farming classes
especially. While State auditor he
looked after the interest of the people,
and they have not forgotten his SER
vices. In his land sales in the north
ern part of the State and his dealings
with the people generally he made
many lasting friends, and they will
stand by him.
"Another thing, Mr.. Dunn stands
we'll at home. Old and young, men,
women and children admire him. You
would be surprised at the esteem in
which he is held at home, not that he
does not deserve it, but you wouldn It
think that the people of any city or
village would think so much of one of
their fellow tOwnsmen. Mr.. Dunn has
the confidence of the people who know
him, and when you find a man that
has lived in community twenty five
years and stands in such high esteem
as MIR. Dunn does you can make your
mind that he is worthy of it,

In the official publication by the
secretary of State of the general and
primary election laws which are for
distribution to the town clerks and
judges of election this fall, there is
no reference whatever to the amend
ment to the general election law pro-
viding for printing the constitutional
amendments on separate pink ballots.
The legislature of 1908 passed
a law providing for this amendment
and it is chapter PSI of the session
laws Of that year. The failure of the
people to adopt constitutional amend
ments since ma ority of all the votes
cast at an election is required, was
father to the suggestion that all con-
stitutional amendments be printed on
separate ballots and OF a pink color.
and the legislature readily enacted
the amendment, which it is hoped will
result in the adoption of all important
constitutional amendments in the fu-
ture. The omission of this very i'm
portant amendment to the general cleo
ton law is an oversight. Chapter Psi
Of the laws of 1908 should be substi-
tuted for section % of the present law.
The modus operandi Of adopting con-
stitutional amendments cannot be
made too plain to the people, and the
little pink ballot and it's Importance
should be given the right of way.

One Way of Looking at It.

Just why St. Cloud and Minneapolis
advocates of Judge Collins nomina-
ton should think it crime for Gov.
Van SAINT to be asked to take the
stump in Minnesota has not yet been
explained. Gov. Van SAINT has al
ways been a Republican and if that
time has come when an invitation to
help the campaign, extended to a gen.
tleman that was opposed to the sue
cessful candidate for nomination, is
considered an insult it is time to call
a halt.-Brainerd Dispatch -

An Overwhelming MAJORITY.

The prevailing sentiment among Re-
publicans who visit the St. Paul hotels
as we'll as among the country news
papers is that the prospects for an
overwhelming majority in the election
of the Republican nominees both on the
State and the national ticket we're
never better. Well-informed Republi-
cans who were at the hotels said that
Robert G.. Dunn will run ahead of his
ticket in many counties: others pre-
dicted that oosevelt and Dunn will
carry the State by $4,000 majority

State Political Comment
Clay County Falling In Line.

J. M. Bayer of Moorhead, sheriff of
Clay county, who was an ardent sup
porter of Judge Collins says that he
believes the proper thing to do is to
loyalty support the whole Republican
tickle 'We are going to do all we
can for Dunn and the entire ticket. Of
course because of the defeat of Judge
Douglas whose home is in Clay
county, many have felt very sore, but
we are loyal Republicans up our way
and don't propose to bolt. We will
do all we can for Dunn and the whole
ticket.'

the rank and file of the party workers
in Hennepin county says: II predict
Bob Dunn will carry this county by
5000 majority. Mr.. Dunn's Duluth
speech is making him lots of friends
in Hennepin county. Some of the
most rabid Collins men are now doing
good work for the straight ticket, and
there are many who have signifed

The Reason for It.

The Minneapolis Times is now abus-
ing Bob Dunn. The paper changed
hands few days ago, Thomas Lowry,
who owns the Minneapolis and St..
Paul street car lines. being the pur-
chaser. When Mr.. Dunn was State
auditor he raised the assessment of
this property several millions of dol
lars and to somewhere near where it
ought to be and Mr.. Lowry has been
after him ever since.-Long Prairie

May Carry Dakota County.

Reports from Dakota county, one of
the few Democratic counties in Min
nesota, are that Robert c.. Dunn of
Princeton will get a large vote next
November and probably carry the
county by a good margin. Dakota
county has a Democratic senator and
a Democratic representative, and few
Republican nominees for governor
have been able to carry it.

Mr.. Dunn will get seventy per cent of
the votes in the county," said one of
the leading citizens of the county.
Mr.. Dunn is popular with the COM

him at the polls as they have never
rallied round a Republican nominee
before. ';-Pioneer Press.
