NO ONE "ENTIrLED' TO a RE
NOMINATION.

Sank Centre herald July 26th. 1900
It seems to us that it is a piece of as.
sumption on the part Of an official to
claim that he is 'tentitled' to re-
nomination because he already holds
the Office he aspires to. We never
made this claim ourselves or permitted
our friends to make it for us when we
were candidate. All We did was to
say to our constituency, eve are will.
ing; if you desire us to serve you
again we are at your SERVICE The
mere fact that man has mechanically
performed the routine duties of his
Office gives him no claim to 2re-elec.
tlon. This is especially true of legis-
lative Offices both state and national.
Something more is wanted than a
mere clerk. There are great questions
to be decided and tremendous interests
at stake. Men are needed who have a
comprehensive grasp on public ques
lions or at least the ability to acquire
it. The people are entitled to the best
service they can get. If a new man
can furnish better service than the old
they have the right and it is a duty
they owe to themselves and the coun.
try to select him.

G. n. LIMDBERGH,
Our" Next CONGRESSMAN

The Backus Tines. July q, 1905
As the time for the primaries ap-
proaches the congressional situation in
this district is commencing to assume
some shape ard the Buchanan forces
are not SO sanguine as they were sew
eral months ago In fact a great
many people who stood for the present
congressman short time ago have
changed and are now openly advocat-
ing the candidacy Of Mr. Lindbergh,
who has been making a canvass of the
district the past few weeks with very
good results. A great many things
have come to light recently regarding
Buchanan which do not very favorably
impress the average voter and not
withstandiug the fact that the MAORI
ty Of the newspapers are with the pres
ent congressman, those who have
made study Of the conditions which
now exist are authority for the state
ment that he stands first rate chance
of losing the nomination.
Buffalo Journal, July 20, 1906
Charles A. Lindbergh, candidate for
nomination for congress in this dis
trict, has encouraging reports from all
parts Of the district, and Mr.. Buck.
man does not appear to be making any
Co ,;,,1r i
! campaign at the last moment on the
part of Buchanan, and this is his only
! hope. The voters are too wise to be
taken in by any such buncombe, and
we believe will give Mr.. Lindbergh a
big majority, as he stands for the re-
forms which are so popular at this
time, while Buchanan is undoubtedly a
corporation man.
Akeley Herald, July 20, 1906: Chas.
A. Lindbergh is now in the field after
Buckmau's scalp for congress and from
the encouraging reports which are
coming ir he will give the present in
cumbent chase for his life Mr.
Lindbergh stands for those things
which the people want and not the
corporations. He will put up strong
fight despite the machine behind
Buckman, which by the way is not
! nearly as stong as it was two years
ago.

DO YOU KNOW?

That Z. A. Lindbergh is not a
knocker?
That he wants to see our City growI
That there is plenty of evidence Of
his faith in Little Falls?
That he has invested and caused to
be invested in the City of Little Falls
in the years 1906 and 1905 over 1876. 600

That Little Falls has some knockers
who have their hammers out continu-

terprise tending to the benefit of this
city?

Hubbard County Enterprise of July
26th has this to say: Buckman is cred
tied with being one OF the greatest
fencers in politics that the state has
known, and when it comes to fixing
up things among some politicians he Is
quite successful, but the situation with
which he ie confronted at the present
time Is not one that is to be material
ly affected by such maneuvers, The
facts IN the case are that 6uckman
has failed to make good in congress !;
his political record from the time he
entered the state legislature to the pre-
sent shows that he has stood with the
special interests and in opposition to
the matters of concern to district
that is purely agricultural; his private
life has been repulsive to the respecta
BILE element of society: and his timber
record has added nothing to his credit.
If a few politicians are content to
overlook these things for political pur-
poses it il their privilege to do so, but
if c. A. Lindbergh perfects an organi-
zation and makes the fight that he IS
expected to make, Buchanan Public
career will end with his present term
in congress.

publicans get out to the primaries.
Mr.. Lindbergh is man Of the people
and will win in walk if the rank

right to vote.
The Sebeka Review, July ~, 1905:
Charles A. Lindbergh, a prominent at
torney of Little Falls, is candidate
for the republican nomination for
member of Congress for the Sixth dis
trict against G. B. Buchanan, the pres
ent incumbent, also of Little Falls.
G. S. Benson of St. Cloud has with
drawn from the congressional race, as
he realized that he had no show of
getting the nomination. The fight
now is between Lindbergh and Buck
man, and the way things now look
Lindbergh will receive the nomination
by large majority.
and thoroughly understands the politi
cal questions of the day he is the
representative of the progressive ele-
ment of the party, his private record
is one of honestness and square dealing
to all, and if elected he will serve the
people in the best manner possible.
There is no doubt but that Mr. Lind
bergh is the strongest candidate that
could be pitted against Buckman.
Buchanan, as in former years, will have
the political machine behind him. but
that machine this year is not as strong
as formerly.
Buckman has always depended on
his strength at home to pull him
through, but this time it will be
evenly divided or a little in favor of
Lindergh, so Buchanan will have to
gain strength in other portions of the
district. but at present it looks i'm
possible for him to do So Lindbergh
is favorably spoken of all over the dis
trict and it seems that Buck will
be down and out after the primaries.
Mr.. Lindbergh was in sebeka a few
hours last Friday and he made a very
favorable impression here. AS the
campaign advances Mr.. Lindergh will
make speeches in this part of the dis
trict and he promises to speak here.
We have heard the following ques-
tion asked but have never heard
satisfactory answer.

years ago he was elected to Congress

DENOUNCED
WOMAN CREATED SENSATION IN
 A METHODIST CHURCH.
Arose After Meeting and Talked Out Loud-Organist Played Hymn
 and the Woman Walked Out.

Chicago, May "A large audi ence at the St James Methodist church, Forty-sixth street and Ellis avenue, was thrown into a turmoil last night when the pastor, Rev Vii liam A. Quayle, was denounced at the close of his sermon by woman who rose from pew in the center of the house and declared the pastor to be ''an ignorant man, preaching of things of which he knew nothing After she had shouted her protest, in spite of the efforts of the organlsI who tried to drown her voice by play ing hymn, the woman turned and walked out of the church, muttering curse upon the sermon and its author. -...
 The womans name was not learned, but it is believed that she is trance medium. Dr Quayle's ser mon had consisted chiefly of scath- ing arraignment of certain ideas which, in some quarters, have taken possession of the public mind, and warning to his congregation to be on their guard against them.
 Among other things the pastor as- sailed the principle of the open shop and the mania for consulting spirit mediums and palmists.

Father Gspou Alive nnd Well.

CHICAGO, May 7.-"Father Gapon has not been killed by Russian anarch- ists. On the contrary, he is in Switzer- land alive and well, as I positively know" said Ivan Ivanovitch Narodny in an address before a socialist gath ering here. Narodny came to the Unit ed States with Maxim Gorky to spread the propaganda of the Russian Social Democrats. The meeting was held under the auspices Of the Industrial Workers of the World as a protest against the arrest of Haywood and Mover of the Western Federation of Miners in connection with the assassi- nation of former Governor Frank Steuenberg of Idaho. Narodny added that a friend in Washington had re. ceived a cablegram from Father Ga pon.

LETTERS ROBBED
BURGLARS GOT GOOD HAUL OF
 BONDS AND SECURITIES.
More Than s1OO.O0O Worth of Papers Were Taken-Robbers Used g
 Sledge Hammer to Enter.

Chicago, May 7.-The office of Jo- seph Letter, and of the estate of the late Levi z. Letter, father of Joseph Letter, was robbed last night or Sat urday night, and bonds and securi- ties valued at from $10.000 to $25,- 900 were stolen. The burglars en- tered the office by breaking in the door with a sledge hammer. The robbery was not discovered until the clerks entered the office to-day. A nasty examination of the contents of the vault caused the assertion by the clerks that securities valued at from $100.00O to $150,000 had been taken. When Hugh Crabbe, the manager of the estate of Levi z. Letter, arrived he at once declared that the amount of the robbery was not more than $10,000 to $25,000 and produced a package of bonds valued at $125,000 which the clerks thought had been stolen.
 The offices of Robert F. and Frank Grove. attorneys, adjoining that of the Letter estate, were also entered in the same manner and securities valued at about $5,000 taken, and in both cases the vault doors were opened with chisels.
 All of the securities taken were negotiable.

THE DECISION
 COMES TO HAND
TROLLEY COMPANY SEEMS TO
 BE THE WINNER.
They Can Now Proceed With the Double Tracking of the Princi- pal Streets of the City. Un-
 less Appeal Is Taken,

The long looked for decision of the railroad commissioners on the appeal of the trolley company from the con dltions imposed by the city govern ment for the proposed double tracking of East and West Main streets, came to hand to-day and after reading it some of the city fathers wanted to know where we are at, anyway. It wipes out practically all the depart ment of public works asked for, with the exception the cost of slight change of the curb line on East Main street, beyond Rutledge street and the extension of the pavement from it's present termination to the switch at Cole street. and states very plainly that such other work as has been look ed for from the company properly be- longs to the city. The board of public works wanted the street paved with vitrified bricks from Wolcott street to Silver street; they would like to have the street sprinkled and other ex- penses met which in their judgment would not. come were it not for the two tracks in the street. When the company appealed to the railroad commissioners. property owners about town took considerable interest in the hearing and made quite showing before the commissioners at Hartford, but the trolley people took it easy. They were there to be sure, but they didn't appear in a scrappy mood. The decision actually forces the city into the courts, besides it is question if it doesn't give the company permis- sion to go ahead on much more liberal terms then their representatives seemed willing to give when the mat ter was, aired before the board of public works.
 When his honor. Mayor Thoms read the decision and saw that it gave the city a solar-plexis blow. he turned pale, looked around apparently in helpless attitude and then acting as if happy thought struck him. he frightened up and communicated with City Attorney Kellogg and in- structed him to proceed to make out an appeal from the decision of the railroad commissioners relative to the double tracking of East and West Main streets. This will make two ap- peals the city will have to come be- fore the courts and the public will watch the outcome of the two rounds with more than ordinary interets. The other scrap is over the Ronnins street application. This has been passed up on by the commissioners and the city has already taken the case into the courts.

MAYACREE TERMS
MINE WORKERS AND OPERATORS
 WILL MEET AGAIN.
The Length of Time the Agreement Will Remain in Force Is One of
 the Things to Be Settled.

New York, May What is ey- pected to be the final meeting be- tween the committees representing the anthracite mine workers aud mine owners of Pennsylvania will be held in the office of the Trunk Lines association in this city this afternoon when an effort will be made to agree on term of years and other minor details for the continuation of the award of the anthracite strike com- mission. The miners convention last Saturday conditionally accepted the original proposition of the operators to continue the award of the commits sion and instruct its scale committee to communicate with the operators and try to agree on the number of years the award is to stay in effect, and also to have the operators agree not to discriminate against certain of the workers.
 That an agreement will be reached is not doubted, although there is ex- pected to be some debate before tliey agree on all the details. The miners prefer a one or two years agreement beginning April 1, but the operators are expected to ask the men to aC- cept the award for three years. The miners argue that the commission s award does not now meet some of the new conditions in the mining in dustry and that an agreement or more than a year or two would make matters very unfair to them.
 At to-day's meeting an effort will be made to have the operators agree not to discriminate against any man who has been aggressive in the strike movement, and to give all the men their former places. It is fully eX- pected by the miners leaders that the operators will agree to this.
 If an agreement is reached to-day the miners sub-scale committee will report back to the convention in Scranton tomorrow, which will no doubt ratify the committees action. If there is no hitch in the program the convention probably will order the men to return to work either Thursday or Monday.
 President Mitchell and District Presidents Nicholls, Dettrey and Fahy and District Secretaries Demp- sey and Gallagher arrived here to- day from Scranton. President Mitch ell when seen to-day merely said that all matters pertaining to the sltua- ton had already been made pubic

,GREELY TELLS
 HOW THEY ARE FED
FIFTY THOUSAND CAMPING AT
 SAN FRANCISCO.
Quarter of a Million People Are Be. ing Served Out Daily Rations-
 Conditions Are Improving-
Plenty of Water.

Washington, May 7.--The mili- tary secretary received the following dispatch to-day from General Greedy dated San Francisco yesterday:
 Conditions are steadily improv- ing. Arrival of thirty-six officers permits assignments to numerous camps of commanding officers to in- sure decency, order, sanitation. Rough estimates place number of persons thus living at 50,000. Nat urally such large bodies become threatening factors as regards the future health of city. When practi- cable further report will be made on the number of campers which is ap- parently increasing. Registration and census of their number is pro- gressing. Presumably mouths fed to-day will approximate quarter of million. Am proceeding with meth- ods calculated to largely reduce this number through institution of facili- ties for cheap meats and gradual re- strictions on issue to male adults. Rations are plentiful as far as flour and potatoes go, but extremely lin- ited as to other articles"
 Another dispatch received from General Greedy stated that on last Saturday the number of rations it. sued was 230,000.
