"edhes1 weapon or the opponents of
secret societies is the fact that they
have never belonged to one of these
socleles and therefore they do not
know what they are talking about.
They should be given an Oriental and
they would then change their views
and get after the bad things of the
world, letting alone the good things.

The twin city dailies seem to have
no particular choice among the many
men mentioned for the republican gu-
bernatorial nomination, but continue
to warn the republican party that it
must make no mistake that to insure
success the party must nominate it's
strongest and ablest man. To man
way out in the country it looks as if
they we're preparing to kick, whoever
is nominated, and openly or tacitly
support johnson. Perhaps the Pho
neer Press is an exception. Why not
suggest few more men for the nom
nation SO that we may know where
you stand?-Blue Earth Post. ...
Democratic Bosses Use Biudgeons.
Cracking the party whip will not
scare as many voters this year as it
has done in the past. Who's afraid!
ALBERT Lea Standard.
Of course the democratic Standard
refers to cracking the republican
party whip, for cracking the demo-
cratic whip can't possibly scare so
very many Minnesota voters owing to
scarcity of material, but when Dick
O'Connor, Johnson and Frank Day
crack the party whip, the faithful get
there double-quick. However, it is
encouraging to the democrats to think
that Johnsonized republicans are in
dependent, for therein lies Minnesota
democracy's only salvation.-Blue

Nelson Was the Dirtiest of the Dirty.
E. A. Nelson of Hallock, editor of
the News OF that town, republican
paper, writes us letter with reference
to an editorial which recently ap-
peared in our columns copied from
the Aitkin Republican. The editorial
in question stated that Mr.. Nelson,
who is now candidate for secretary
Of state, voted and worked for John
son, the democratic candidate for
governor, in the last campaign. Mr..
Nelson writes to say that the Republi-
can is mistaken; that his paper was
loyal to Dunn, fact that any men,
Der Of the state central committee can
verify. The editor of the Banner read
the Hallock News during the CAM
paign for the gubernatorial nominal
ton and remembers it as a very bitter
opponent of Mr.. Dunn. It printed all
the lying stories that went the rounds
| of the Collins press and invented a
few of it's own. The Banner and the
Republican, therefore, are to be ex-
cused if they believed that Mr.. Nelson
had carried his opposition to the
polls, and it would really have been
more to his credit had he done this.
If he believed that Mr.. Dunn was a
bully, a drunkard, man who had
| violated his oath of office, worked into
the hands of the lumbermen and mine
owners and against the interests of
the people, he believed all this stuff
that he printed before the convention,
how could he support such man af-
terward? If he did not believe it, in
fact if he knew it was all lie gotten
up for political purposes he did
what are we to think of him? We
are afraid that Mr.. Nelson will be
forced to worry along without the
support of the Banner
