Canton. 8. D., May 12-Thomas
Thorson of this city will be a power be-
hind the throne, in the event that the
insurgents Of this state win their fight
for the control of the republican party.
A republican all his life, Mr.. Thorson
has been a consistent insurgent at all
times. -
Mr.. Thorson is president of the First
National bank and is wealthy. He has
always been party leader in South

statehood he was the candidate of the
republican party for secretary of state
and was elected by large majority and
reelected two years later.
Mr. Thorson prefers to be power
in the councils Of his party and his
faction rather than to be candidate
for office. He believes that young men
inspired by the Roosevelt spirit Of q
square deal are coming Ito the front
and will soon supplant those given to
the service of special interests. He
will be perfectly satisfied when that
day comes.
Mr.. iThorson has been on the losing

before that he was accustomed to jour-

and ripe experience and the determined
battles he has fought for the sake OF

water but spends the greater part OF
its life in salt water. The fish attain

The fish. only live in the coolest
streams and lakes, and it is this char
acteristic that leads the members Of

a harvest.
