THINKS BUCKM AN SBOULD BE
OVERTHROW.

THINKS BUCKMAN SHOULD BE
OVERTHROW.
Wheaton Gazette Reporter, Rep.
1t really begins to look az though the
voters over In the sixth district are
going to overthrow Buckman. There
10 not another district In the state
where . man of Buckman's calibre
and reputation would stand q ghost
of q chance of being elected to con.
gress or to any other position of
trust, for that matter.
GIGANTIC REVOLT IN THE
SIXTH.
Elbow Lake herald, Rep. Buck.
man Is political mani pulator, a
jockey who plays the game all the
time, and he will make every effort to
pull of every good man who might
oppose him. The revolt in the sixth
is assuming gigantic proportions. The
people are not asleep, and many in
positions of Influence are speaking
boldly and openly in opposition to
Buckman and all that be stands for.
A vigorous clean, able man to unite
upon is all that Is wanting to insure
Buckman's defeat. There are plenty
such men in the district.
HAVE SEEN TIE ERROR OF
THEIR WAYS.
Paynesville Press, Rep: Two
wrongs never made one right, and
those papers who have seen the error
OF their ways or know more about
Buckman now than they did at cne
time, are making an effort to set
matters right and should be encour-
aged rather than ridiculed.
LINDBERGH IN BAD COMPANY.
Staples World, Rep. ~. Mr.. Lind.
bergh doubtless would make as good
or better congressman as any thus
far mentioned, but We fear he has
barked up the wrong tree. There are
. few 2x4 self-appointed bosses in the
district who hae found that they can
not use Buckmsn to further their
own ends aed they want q ne "
draw. Lindbergh IL . better man
than most of those who are backing
him, but like poor dog Tray he will
be judged by the company in which
hels found.

MEME. MEME, TEKEL, UPHARsIN
NIT.
Bralnerd Tribune, Rep. There is
q persistent rumor that CONGRESSMAN
Buckman has decided not to be a can
didate for reelection. Does he al
ready see the handwriting on the
STRONG DEFENSE OF BUCKMAN.
Verndale Sun, Rep: Last week
Congressman Buckman announced
himself as being q candidate for re-
election this fsll. It seems to be the
will of the politicians that Buckman
shall not be the choice of the republi-
can party in this district. Just Why
they should 30 determine has not
been explained by these politicians or
their newspaper mouthpieces. They
say nothing against bis record dur Ing
the four , ears he has represented the
people at Washington, In fact they
admit he has been q hardworking
congressman, looking after every
little want of no matter how humble
. constituent. aud really being Of
more actnal good to the people as
public servant than any man tnat ever
represented this section. Why is it
then that email ooterie of politicians
arc 20 anxious to sec him displaced at
this time. AS yet they have no one to
unite on to turn the trick. These
same politicians we're loud in their
praises ,of Buckman Two years ago.
If he was good then Why isn't be as
deserving now'. Looks like . case
of q few having tried to dictate the
policy OF the present incumbent and
losing out. With nothing better for
an argument to 60 beore the people
with than to outset one man to make
place for another there will be moth
ing against Buckman this fall. The
people have come to regard Buokm an
with favor and it will take more than
the petty grievances of professional
politicianst to displace him. They
feel that with but two terms behind
HIM he 10 not asking too much in re-
questing third chance at the
counter, in fact he Is better able now
to-.get results for the district than ut
any other time since he has been in
Wsshintgon. Mr.. Buckman MAKES no
claim of being great orator or states
man of national reputs. He ls con.
tent with others making the show
while he looks after the affairs Of his
district and unless We are sadlv mis-.
taken the people are going to show
their appreciation of his good work
by sending him back regardless Of the
wishes of the politicians.
