Will Vote for Lawson.

LAKE ELIZABETH, Oct. 20, 1906.
Editor Tribune: =!
Among the voters in the southeast
ern part of the county considerable
opposition has developed to the cleo
ton of Hon. L. o. Thorpe: for. state
senator We will do all in ourypower
to aid the candidacy Of Mr.. Lawson,
who we believe is worthy of our: sup
port and will look, after our interests
if elected! There is of course a great
effort made 10 induce republicans to
vote the straight party ticket, but we
hope the people can no longer be
fooled by that old cry. AS long as
the majority of the voters cast their
ballot for a candidate simply because
he is kept dangling at the end of a
political party like the. tail of a kite,
So long will we have to bear our bur-
:dens. If it were not for this blind
party adherence the American people,
with the present standard of intelli.
gence, cod Id no longer be imposed
upon. Let us break the chains and
act for our own interests. -

Farm Problems.

= LAKE ELIZABETH, Oct 20, 1906.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
The question is often asked, "Why
does not the boy stay on the farm?'
Can it be that. farming does not pay?
It certainly does not pay as it should,
and when the boy with his small
allowance comes to town to purchase
his necessities the money does not
reach very far. He looks. about him
and finds the storekeepers, the clerks
and the travelling statesmen all we'll
dressed and seemingly lacking moth
ing. He says to himself: "'Every-
thing seems to pay but. farming; must
I endure the heat, wind and mud of
summers. the hardships of cold and
exposure in winter and get less for
it?" The farm is soon left and the
farmer must look around for a hand
or renter. There is reason for all
the great number OF auctions every
where, and the great number OF farms
for rent. Right in this neighborhood
are thousands ofz,acres for rent. Let
our lawmakers think of this. Some
thing is wrong. F arming is the. life
of a:nation, and it should be honored

The Cat Came Back.

Did you ever, dear reader, get up
in the middle of the night and kick a
noise producing Tom cat thru the front
door in order to get, rest and peace,
and then find in a little while that the
pestiferous creature had crept in thru
rear window that somebody had left
open, and started its nerve-racking Sc
renade louder than ever? Ifyou have,
you can sympathize with the citizens
of Kandiyohi county in their present
affection.
Eight years ago the voters kicked
the campaign orator Henry Feig out
thru the front door with such vigor-
Gus kick that it was generally thought
he would never return. But Henry
was mighty handy man for the ma
chine politicians, and they could not
afford to lose him, so they quietly
opened rear window to let him crawl
back. THEY created a fat office-good
pay and very little work. He was
made inspector of country elevators.
There was no demand for such an Off
Ger from anybody but the politicians
who had to open the window so that
Henry could crawl back. And now be
is with us once more, disturbing the
otherwise quiet atmosphere with his
foghorn voice, paying his political
debt by directing the voters in their
choice of officers. But the people re-
fuse to listen to the serenade. If they
cannot get rid of the cat they can pull
the quilt over their heads to escape
hearing the noise.
We are informed that Henry has as
signed to him the task of chewing DR..
Johnson's letter into tatters. It is a
tough job, but he has to do his level
best, Or his milk saucer might be taken
away from him and given to some
more successful member of the genus

what yonS are ding s Z gu half kill
both yo,1r horses and yourselfSto get
the ground ready. for seeding Then
youSpay double the actual value for
good seed and put that into the
ground. When the time comes to cut
it you have an excellent stand of wild
oats, when You could raise good
crop of timothy or clover and make a
splendid pasture and kill the wild oats
and by-and-by could get a piece of
ground in shape so you can raise a
good clean crop of wheat or oats.
T.. This would be a grand lift for your
good little home creamery, which gets
only half the patronage and credit it
ought to have. Think what your
home creamery has done for you and
what more it will do if you stand by
it until it has reached it's full growth,
and don't fly off the handle when you
are not getting just what you want.
That would be asking trile too
much, but compare your milk and
cream with that of your neighbor and
see if it is just as good in every re-
spect; if it is, you.are getting just as
much for it Or all it is worth.
The man who sends his cream to the
centralized creamery and has the i'm
preston that he will continue to re-
ceive the price he was paid for the
first five Or six shipments, needs
little repair work done on his 'smain
spring." There must be something
wrong with it if he cannot figure far
enough ahead to see that the object of
the central creameries is to kill the
home creameries. And when enough
patrons have been won from the home
creameries SO they must close, the
centralized ones will pay for your
cream and milk just what they please;
and, to start up your home creamery
again so you can realize as much as
you once did and was not satisfied
with, will take ten times as long as it
did in the first place. Think this over,
Mr.. Kicker, and graspthe opportunity
now to fit yourself for an American
citizen, walking hand in hand with
your neighbors as you ought to and
help build up your own neighborhood.
Go to neighborhood where the
home creameries are success and
get the patronage of every patron in
the country and then go to another
community where the centralized
creameries get it all and home cream.
cries have closed down for lack Of
patronage, and see in which locality
you would prefer to run dairy farm
and then come back and tell your
neighbors. I have seen them both.

as such. What has this republic done
to protect the farmer against the mon
opolies?> Under republican prosper
ity" the farm has suffered.
Two years ago the people of Mime
sofa were on the lookout for a man to
lead their destinies who might at least
begin to Solve the peoples problems.
They thought 'they found their. man in
John A. johnson and broke party
lines to elect him. They were not de-,
ceived. Johnson has done 81 he pro
missed. : , ;s,2.3 E$s
When the machine found Johnson
could not be controlled, they promptly
looked around for another man and
found-Cole:. Now they are trying to
scare the people to stand by the party
by talking about Bryan. ! Had John
son or Jacobson suited the monopo-
lies, no Cole would have been needed.
But this time we are not to be scared
aswe were the time Lind was defeated.
We will not only :re-elect Johnson but
will also elect men who we are sure
will stand by him and by the farmers.
Such men are v. E Lawson and Chas.
E. Johnson. They viii not only work
for the best interest of the farmers,
but will also see that the liquor traffic
problem is solved by giving US a
county option law. We have been
looking for this long while, and so
when we get il, we need man like
Peter Bonde to enforce the law. Do
not corporations as we'll as rum-sellers
belong to and favor the dominant
party? Fine company to stand by, as
the ,Atwater Republican Press wants
us to- do. Yours truly,
ANDREW PETERSON.

Being that this lis the time of the |
year when the most care must be
given to .keep: tho COW lin good trim
for.tbe winter and prepare her for the
next season, wWishttos remind the pa:
irons ola few things they ought to do
to improve the quality and also the |
quantity Of milk and cream. Every
farmer knows, or ought to know, that
the first cold snapin the fall will put
a COW in q standing where she will
stay the rest of the winter, and under
no circumstances should she be al
lowed to remain outside at night or
even in 4he day until she gets more
accustomed to the weather.: Judge the
cow by yourself. Many of them: are
as much good to the country as their
master, and good results cannot beck.
pected from her unless you give her
the best of care
: Another important thing the cream
cry patron should look out for at this
time OF the season is to provide a
place wherein to pack ice during the
winter months while he can't do much
of anything else, and don't disgrace
the creamery or buttermaker by de-
livering sour and spoiled cream and
milk next summer and expect the same
price as your neighbor who takes care
of his cream and milk and who often
has to accept a cent less for his butter
/ on account of the sour and spoiled
batch which effected the whole churn-
ing. Think this matter over some
rainy day, when you have nothing else
to do and see if I am not right and
then try to follow my suggestions to
avoid the trouble. You, Mr.. Cream.
cry Patron, are the one ninety mine
times out of a hundred, who makes
the price of the butter, and in order
to get good price you must delive,
good milk and cream. Not only the
price is lowered with sour milk anc
cream but also the test. The milk and
cream gets too little care for the par
it takes in building up this community
Most every farmer knows that whea
and oats are not a sure crop in Thu
country, so why not run: that part o
it on a smaller scale and devote NOR
time and care to the dairy department
which is sure crop if you go at i
in the right wav?. The sooner YOU d,
SO, the sooner you will make you
farming pay.
If the farmers in this country woul'
take more interest in raising corn
which is just as sure as oats, an
build silos and ice houses in place Q
wheat and oat bins, they would 500
see the time when they would make tn
, money in one year that they are no'
making'i in two and with less work.

\ Peter Bonde's. chances for be-.
ing elected are getting brighter
every day, and we look for q big
majority for this ableand efficient
officer. He has a host of friends
in every part Of the county, many
of which have never met him per
sonally but. have become his
champions on account #=:of his
splendid record: as q peace Off
Ger. Even those who were
strongly in favor of the saloon
policy were very anxious to have
him continue in Office, thus ties.
tifying to their belief that he
could enforce the law The pres
emit chairman of the republican
county committee was one of
those who most earnestly urged
Mr.. Bonde to become q candi-
date, and promised to stump the
county for him. OF course when
Mr.. Gilbert accepted the position
he now holds he made it impos-
sible for himself to redeem his
promise, but the fact that he
made it shows what he thinks of
Bonde-~ But while the chairman
is bound by his official position,
there are hundreds of active re-
publican workers thruout the
county who are not: so bound
and they are vying with mem
bers of other parties in working
for Bonde's election. OF course
he also has his traducers; no &C.
tive worker for good can escape
them. They are going around
whispering mean little falsehoods
to all who will listen, but his rec.
ord is too much of an open book
to be damaged by any such des.
picable methods. When any of
these traducers come to you with
some such tale, ask them if they
are willing to put it in writing
and sign their names to it.. :,

The opponents of Mr.. Lawson
are resorting to various misrep-
reservations in order to create
the impression that there was no
demand for his coming out as
candidate for senator. They
point to the fact that several per
sons were engaged in the work
of securing signatures to the Pc
tition, and say that it took hard
work to get the. names. Now,
no one has ever: tried to- create
the impression that the pressure
on Mr.. Lawson: came in the form
of these petitions. It was APP
piled earlier, beginning as early
as last spring and continuing up
to the time Mr.. Lawson consent:
ed to run. Having entered the
race, Mr.. Lawson knew that it
would be a hard task in the
course of=a*few days to find $40
persons who had not voted at the
primaries and SO were in posi-
ton to sign. Every signature
had to be ackno lodged before a
- ,:&& .@f-.S 2s

of these as ible were EN-.

wanted a good man, not azparti-
san tool. The people can take a
lesson from the governor in this
respect. IL -. :.y@ = r.
In addition to these facts let
two republican newspapers
speak. The Minneapolis Jour
nal on June 10, 1906, said;
The Office of governor is occupied at
present by a man who has lots of
friends, not only in his own party,
but among republicans. They have
had no occasion>to regret his election,
and have not been disappointed in his
performances.
The Minneapolis Tribune on
June 10, 1906, said:
The people of the state are we'll
enough satisfied with the present gov
ernor to leave to the politicians all
the toll and labor of hunting up a
man good enough to beat Johnson.
There is the condition that con-
fronts US "a true and tried
friend of the people, recommend
ed by men of all parties and, still
better, recommended by his own
record; opposed to him is an un~
known quantity, basing his hope
of election on the partisan spirit
of the republicans, tho he has
worn the republican cloak so
short a time that he has hardly
got used to it. Which will you
choose, the certainty or the un-
certainty? Do you vote as a free
man, or are you a party slave,
jumping at the crack of the par
ty whip?
Johnson has made a good gov
ernor; let us keep him there two
years more.
And, incidentally, would it not
be. a good thing to elect men for
the legislature who will be ready
to support any good, measure
proposed by the governor, with
out having to take into considera-
ton whether it might be a good
thing for the party politicians?
