From a Democratic Standpoint.

The Richiand Democrat, published
at Richland Center and the official
organ Of democracy in Richland
county, has the following to say in
its current issue this week. concern
ing the judicial campaign IN this cir
cult:
Thomas L. Cleary, Grant county's
foremost Officeseeker and politician,
has announced himself as a candi-
date for the circuit judgeship, IN OPP
position to Judge George Clement
son. The announcement at this
late day comes as a surprise and to
the large majority of people in the
circuit who are we'll acquainted
with the aggI essive get-even spirit
which has always characterized the
new aspirant's move in public life
and the able, efficient and expedit-
lOus manner in which the present
judge has always transacted the
business Of the circuit, the said an
nouncement will hardly receive ser
iOus consideration. Mr.. Clearly may
possess all tho attributes necessary
for a successful judicial career, but
we doubt if the voters of the district
will care to try the experiment of
turning down a tried, true and sue
cessful jurist for a man whose pub
lie experience has been entirely
along political lines"
The Democrat voices the senti
ment of prominent Democrats not
only of Richland county, but
throughout the circuit.

From THURSDAYS Daily.

From THURSDAYS Daily.
| The Albert Lea Tribune has Informal
ton that seems reliable as to the future
Mankato railway project and it has in
| formation that seems thoroughly relia-
BILE that Hartman, the great reilroad
con urer, who recently secured control of
movement and the project will not be
permitted to die of hamilton as all the
money required is at hand to complete
the line. The information goes farther
and asserts the road will be built
| through to Duluth and with continu-
Gus line of steel from the great lakes
to the gulf of Mexico trunk line will
be formed that will have no single com
petitor on the continent.
This move means that Mr.. Hartman
has decided to enter the trritory here
tofore almost exclusively occupied by j.
j. Hill and his roads and it ought to
mean greatly improved conditions for
People all along the line. 1t will give
Albert Lea continuous trunk line TO
the head of the lakes and any benefits
ACQUIRING will be realized by the people
here. Heretofore there has been no di-
rect line to Duluth expect by a change
at the twin cities and consequent eX-
pense and delay, but under the new re-
gime this would be avoided.
One of the directors of the road made
the statement today that while he did
not know anything about Mr.. Harri-
man securing control of the road, yet
he would not he surprised if the report
proved to be true. All the right of way
between the county line and Albert Lea
has seen settled for, excepting two
pieces of land.
